1. Can cuttings be taken?

2. How to reproduce

Bianganhua cannot be cut. Cuttings of this plant will not survive. There are four methods of propagation. Generally, sowing is done after collecting the seeds. The seeds are placed on moist sandy loam soil, covered with a layer of potting soil and waited for germination. The bulbs are usually divided during the dormant period. After the plants are removed from the pot, the bulbs are removed and planted in new pots. Bulb cutting involves scarifying the bulbs to encourage bulb growth and then planting them separately. Tissue culture requires the cultivation of callus, which can be planted after taking root and sprouting.

1. Can it be propagated by cuttings?

The other side flower cannot be propagated by cuttings. It is commonly propagated by sowing and bulbing, and new plants can also be obtained by bulb cutting and tissue culture. As a bulbous plant, its bulbs are not branched, so branch cuttings cannot be made, and leaf cuttings have no chance of survival, so this method is not used.

2. How to reproduce

1. Sowing and propagation: Pay attention to collecting the seeds of Bianhua flowers after they bloom. Since the seeds are not dormant, they must be sown as soon as possible after being collected, otherwise they will affect rooting and germination. Prepare moist sandy loam soil, place the seeds on it, cover it with a layer of potting soil, and control the temperature to about 20°C. It will germinate in 15 days. This method is not recommended for family breeding. It takes 4-5 years to grow seedlings and bloom.

2. Propagation by dividing balls: the flower that has grown for many years Plants tend to grow many small balls around the mother ball, which can be planted separately. It is usually done during the dormant period of the plant. After digging it out of the pot, just remove the ball from the cue ball. Be careful not to damage the roots. It usually takes 1-2 years for the bulbs to bloom.

3. Bulb cutting: This method mainly involves clustering bulbs into small balls and then cultivating them separately. The base of the bulb is first cut in eight directions, between one-half and two-thirds deep. After spraying and disinfecting with carbendazim, put it in a cool place to dry, and then insert it into moist sand or perlite. Adventitious buds will grow in about 3 months. After small bulbs are born, they can be separated and planted.

4. Tissue culture: tissue culture methods and Bulb cutting is similar, but requires more specialized tools. Generally, MS culture medium is used, and the ovary of Bigana flower is used as material. After culture, callus tissue can be produced. Adventitious roots will grow in 1 month, and adventitious buds will grow in 3-4 months, and then they can be ready for planting.
