Seeding propagation method

Sowing and propagation is a common method of plant propagation, and Rieger Begonia can also be sown. However, because the seeds of Rieger Begonia are relatively small, it is necessary to adopt a special method - small seed sowing method to sow. When sowing Rieger Begonia, the sowing substrate can be made of vermiculite powder and peat soil. Mix the substrate evenly, put it in the seedling basin and pour it through

The seeds of Rieger Begonia are sown on the substrate and discharged one by one. There is no need to cover the soil. Wrap the seedling basin with transparent plastic film and keep the temperature at about 20 degrees. The seedlings can emerge in two weeks. As the seedlings grow, slowly grow leaves, but don't remove the plastic film first

After the beginning of autumn, the plastic film can be removed and put into the basin in early winter. Watering shall be controlled before the pot is put on, and ventilation shall be maintained after the pot is put on. With the growth of plants, larger pots can be replaced

Cutting propagation

The cutting propagation of Rieger Begonia mainly includes branch cutting and leaf cutting

The matrix of cutting is mainly vermiculite or clean sand. The matrix needs to be disinfected before use. If the branches are inserted, select the appropriate branches with moderate length and prune them. If the leaves are inserted, select the leaves with vigorous growth and remove them for standby

Insert the cuttings into the substrate, water them, cover them with plastic film, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place. It will take about three weeks to take root. Let it grow for a period of time and transplant it in the excavation

Tissue culture method

Tissue culture method is to cultivate the seedlings of Rieger Begonia in the culture medium. Its characteristic is that it can be produced in large quantities. However, for flower friends, tissue culture is difficult and is not commonly used
