Cutting propagation of firecracker flower

because it is not easy to get seeds, it is mostly propagated by cutting. Cutting propagation of firecracker flower is generally carried out in spring

first of all, it is necessary to select appropriate cuttings, cut the mature stems of firecracker flowers, and select strong branches without diseases and pests. Cut about 10cm-15cm, with 3 or 4 nodes and retain more than 2 buds

then, cuttings should be carried out. The cuttings of firecracker flowers should be inserted into the sand bed. Generally, two-thirds of them need to be inserted. Gently press the cuttings base to make the cuttings closer to the soil, and sufficient water should be poured

the last thing is to maintain reasonably. Pay attention to keep the soil moist after cutting. Spray water on the leaf surface and keep it in a semi shady place for maintenance. Generally, after cutting, the stems and leaves of firecracker flower do not shrink, which means that it grows well and can take root in about 40 days. The survival rate of cutting propagation is still relatively high

when the young seedlings of firecracker flower grow to more than 15cm, they can be transplanted into the pot, poured with enough water and placed in a semi shady place for maintenance

Layering propagation of firecracker flower

firecracker flower can also be used for strip propagation, which is mainly carried out in spring and summer

burying the longer branches of firecracker flowers into the soil can remove a circle of bark and facilitate rooting. Generally, new roots can grow in about a month. The branches with roots can be cut off and replanted

firecracker flower can also directly press the branches into the flowerpot

firecracker flowers with strips can usually bloom in the same year
