The origin of Honghua silver birch is in Australia. Are you not familiar with it? Its flowers are red or white, and sometimes pink and apricot yellow. The flowering period in the origin can reach 250 days, but it can bloom all year round when it is planted in China. Today, we mainly talk about its breeding methods, and interested friends can read the following!

I. sowing

As a small indoor potted plant to cultivate, first of all, it is necessary to plant its seeds in the planter. The seeds must be of good varieties, preferably the seeds collected from the mother plant which has not been attacked by diseases and insect pests. The selection of culture soil is only a little loose and fertile, because the adaptability of red flower and silver birch is relatively strong.

2. Germination

After careful care, the seeds planted will germinate soon. After germination, you can choose some seedlings with similar growth conditions, and keep their height between 3cm and 5cm, so that the later growth will be more orderly.

3. Transplant

When transplanting small seedlings, you must be careful not to hurt the root system of red flower and silver birch, or it will affect the later survival rate. When transplanting, generally, more than 5 small seedlings are planted in a three leaf basin, so the growth will be more vigorous. You can choose a ceramic basin or a blue and white porcelain basin. These two flowerpots are either simple or gorgeous, which are very suitable. With red flower and silver birch, you will get a very good visual effect.

4. Post management

Finally, put the planted red flower and silver birch in the window or in a place with sufficient indoor light to breed. Its young seedlings will be limited by the flowerpot, and will not grow too long, so the ornamental will be strong. But if you put it in a place with poor lighting conditions, its branches will grow too long, and its overall beauty will be greatly reduced. ! In fact, if the red flower birch is planted on the ground and the environment is suitable, it can grow to more than 30 meters, and there will be beautiful cracks on the bark. When it blooms, it is very spectacular, but it will take 30 years from seed sowing to flowering.
