Torch flower sowing and propagation

1. The suitable temperature for sowing and germination is 18~24℃, and seedlings can emerge in 3-4 weeks. Sowing and propagation can be carried out in the other three seasons except winter. It is usually sown in the spring from March to April and in the autumn from September to October. It can also be sown at any time. The seedlings are raised in the greenhouse in January of the following year, and can be planted in the open field in April. They will bloom in the autumn.

If sown at natural temperatures, they will bloom the next year. Before sowing, turn the entire pot deeply, spread the soil in the pot, then cover the soil with drills, water it enough, cover it with plastic film and move it to the balcony to maintain the humidity in the pot.

After three years of potted potted flowers, one clump can produce more than a dozen buds. Too much production will cause crowding and poor ventilation, so it is necessary to divide the plants in time.

Division propagation is mostly carried out in autumn. After the flowering period, the entire mother plant can be dug up, 2-3 buds can be divided into one plant and cut off, and then watered after planting. The method of ramification propagation is simple and easy to survive. It does not affect flowering but the reproduction volume is small.
