Breeding method

Sowing and propagation

The sowing of white birds is not difficult. First twist the seeds with your fingers, and then sprinkle them evenly on the soil. Generally, the most common one-to-one mixing method of peat soil and perlite is adopted. The peat soil should be soft, so that young plants can take root easily. After sowing, do not cover the soil, or screen out the fine soil with gauze, cover the seed with a thin layer of fine soil, and then wait for it to grow slowly without special attention. After sowing and emergence, it needs careful care, and the growth speed is slow

Ramet propagation

The best time to ramet is April or may in spring. In summer, the temperature is too high and the humidity is high, and the reproductive survival rate is very low. If you must choose to breed in autumn, you must pay attention to the temperature, otherwise the survival rate is very low in cold winter. It's best to use a shallow basin with 5cm thick soil and 3cm basin edge. It's best to change the basin together. For the specific method, the first is to select the appropriate position of tender buds on the mother plant, which should not be too close to the mother plant, and the tender plants should be dried after cutting. Then plant it in the soil that has been disinfected in advance, pour a small amount of water, keep it moist, and place it in a slightly cool place

Grafting propagation

The most common grafting of white birds is to graft on the measuring ruler, but we must avoid watering from the top, and we should constantly graft the young ball to update the female parent. It's best to choose plump, strong and full baby balls. If you find that the baby balls have been shriveled, don't graft them first. Put the baby balls in clean water and graft them after they absorb water and are full, which can greatly improve the survival rate

Warm tips

The growth period of white birds is very short, so it is difficult to cultivate them directly. For self root cultivation, we must control the watering amount, properly water, slightly dry, and have sufficient sunshine. However, the high temperature and humidity in summer often cause the surface to rot, so we can't choose summer for breeding. At present, the breeding of white birds mainly includes sowing, branching and grafting, among which the grafting of young balls is the most common
