What are the breeding methods of succulents?

Succulents have large organs such as roots, stems and leaves, and are also called succulents in horticulture. Propagation methods include plant division, cutting, bud propagation, grafting, tissue culture and sowing. Asexual reproduction is an important way for succulents to reproduce the next generation. It has simple operation, high propagation coefficient, and can maintain the excellent characteristics of hybridization or natural variation.

The ramet propagation method is suitable for plants with clumps or thick roots, and it is best to carry out it when the plants are dormant. Sprinkle fungicidal powder or sulfanilamide powder on the cut wound, leave it in the air for a few days to seal the wound and produce healing tissue, and then implant each piece into sandy medium separately. Start watering less, and then water normally when there are obvious signs of growth.

Cutting, leaf cutting and stem cutting are a quick way to produce new plants, which are genetically identical to the female parent. Because the new plants cultivated by cutting have no genetic variation, they can retain the desired unique characters, but if the female parent is infected, they cannot be cultivated by cutting. Cut the cuttings and dry them for 1-2 days. Dipping the wound with rooting powder containing bactericide can heal the wound tissue and avoid fungal infection.

Many cacti and succulents will grow bulbs or lateral buds at the base of adult plants, which can be cut off or taken off and dried for a few days before reproduction. When planting, you must put the plants in the right place, while adding soil, while gently lifting the plants, so that the roots can stretch, and the pot soil should not be too full.
