How to propagate Fuchsia

1. Cutting method

1. Generally, except for the dormant stage in summer, it can be carried out in the other three seasons. The best time is in spring, when the chances of survival and rooting are greater.

2. Cut off strong young branches, about 7-8cm in length, with 2-3 nodes on them. Cut off the bottom leaves and do not keep them. The upper leaves can be left to ensure growth.

3. Insert the branches into moist loam and spray water mist to keep it moist. The loam needs to be highly permeable to facilitate drainage and ventilation.

4. Pay attention to maintenance. It will take root in about 10 days and can be potted in about 30 days.

2. Sowing Method

1. It is more appropriate to choose spring and autumn. The seeds sown in spring can bloom in the spring of the following year. This method is not commonly used because of the small number of seeds.

2. The substrate can be soft and rich in nutrients, and the soil should be loosened before sowing.

3. Sprinkle the seeds on the substrate, keeping a certain distance, and cover them with a thin layer of fine soil.

4. Maintain the temperature at 15-25℃ and it will germinate in about 15 days.
