How to let Clivia propagate seedlings

When the Clivia propagates its young seedlings, it is usually planted by ramets or seeds. Two years after the growth of Clivia, several small Clivia will grow near the root. When the leaves are about 15 cm long, they can be divided into several plants. After cutting their roots, they can be propagated into small seedlings. Sowing method is commonly used, that is, the seeds are soaked in warm water for half an hour, then taken out to dry, and then seeded into the culture soil.

I. sowing method

This method is usually used for mass breeding. In the early stage, we need to speed up germination, put the seeds into the water with a temperature of about 35 ℃, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes, and then take them out for drying, generally for two hours, if it is possible to use sodium phosphate solution

Select the culture soil which is soft, ventilative and has good drainage effect. You can dig humus near the trees and add one third of fine sand for mixing. The treated seeds will be evenly spread in the culture soil, do not give water first, placed in the environment of 24 degrees or so to maintain, generally two weeks to grow seedlings.

2. Split method

This method is generally used in family maintenance, the quantity is not very large, and the operation is simple. Young plants will be produced near the roots of two-year-old Clivia, and then they can be divided. Take the plant out of the basin, remove the soil, find the dividing point between the seedling and the mother plant, hold the false bulb with one hand, hold the root of the small plant with one hand, and tear it off. If it can't be broken off, don't use force, cut it off with a sterilized knife, and don't use force to break the plant. After breaking off, use dry charcoal powder to smear the wound to prevent rot. Plant the separated young plants in the soil, the depth of which is based on the fact that the soil can not pass the pseudobulb.
