Can cactus bulbs reproduce, how to grow cactus without roots

Cactus reproduction in several ways:1Seeds are sown.

Cactus balls will flower and bear fruit in a suitable growth environment, and there are seeds in the fruit, which can germinate and grow into small balls when taken out and sown; 2.Ball planting. When the cactus grows to a certain age, some small cacti will grow on the bulbs.

These balls will soon grow roots on their own. Pick the balls from the soil and grow them into new plants. 3.

Graft. Graft the balls on a measuring scale and they will grow faster. As for how to make a big ball grow into a small ball?

1.Let it grow naturally. Depending on the specific breed of cactus, some will grow small balls faster; Some will take longer; Some may not grow balls for a long time.

2.Artificially prompts the big ball to grow a small ball faster. Remove the poisoned sharp knife, cut off the growth point of the large ball (the top of the ball) or the 1 4 or 1 3 of the sphere, and sprinkle charcoal powder or cigarette ash on the wound to prevent decay.

Soon, some small balls will grow on the sphere.

There are 3 kinds of cactus propagation, namely sowing, cuttings, and grafting propagation, and the following is a detailed explanation of the propagation method.

The method is as follows: sowing and propagating: first soak the seeds for 2-3 days, soak the bottom of the pot with water infiltration, and seal the whole plant with plastic film.

Cuttings propagation: take 1 4 stem nodes or large branches with branches, dry for 2-3 days to avoid wound rot, and put them in a cool place after cuttings. Graft propagation:

Choose a sturdy seedling, leaf cactus as a rootstock, and move to the astigmatism after grafting. The sowing time of cactus is suitable in May-June or September-October, and the room temperature is best 20-30. The seeds should be soaked in water for 2-3 days and allowed to absorb water sufficiently.

Soak the bottom of the pelvis with the water seepage method. Then the whole plant is sealed with plastic film and placed at about 25 room temperature to germinate in about a month.

Propagation by cuttings: Cuttings are suitable for the growth season of cacti in early spring and late autumn, and the best is in April and May. Take 1 or 4 stem nodes or large branch cuttings with branches.

When cuttings, the wound is not wet, and it is not allowed to dry in direct sunlight for two or three days to make the wound heal and not easy to rot. After cutting, take root in a cool place before rooting, water less, and take root in about 20 days.

Grafting and propagation: The best way to graft the cactus is to plug and graft, which is not easy to dry up and fall off after grafting. The plugging method is the "up" font connection method.

Choose strong and sterile bulb seedlings, and choose well-growing leaf cactus plants as rootstocks. After grafting, move to a place where the light is not strong. The temperature is controlled at 20 25 , and the wound will heal in 15-20 days.

Gradually move to a sunny place for maintenance. The culture soil should be loose and breathable, and the water quality should be neutral.

Cactus is a fleshy type that is particularly easy to reproduce.

Cacti can live without roots, but it is necessary to master the correct way to deal with them.

Clean the bottom of the cactus ball first, if there is rot, you can cut it off with a knife, sprinkle some carbendazim or plant ash, and then fully dry the roots, at least for a week, and the roots can be dried for a longer time.

In the process of drying, some balls will send out their own root tips, at this time you can water directly after planting, put it in the semi-yin state macro to slow the roots, and you can gradually bask in the sun after a week for normal management.

2. If it is a dry soil without a root tip, do not water it directly after planting, but soak it at the bottom of the pot at 2 cm, so that you can wait for a week and then water thoroughly and gradually increase the normal management of light.

Throughout the process, the sphere may dry up due to dehydration, but don't increase the number of waterings, it takes a process to re-plump.

After the above work is done, it can be planted in pots.

3. After planting for a period of time, you can shake it gently, if it doesn't move, then gently carry it, and feel that the roots grasp the soil, you can maintain it normally.

Rootless cactus refers to the mother plant is generally the small ball when the mother plant is propagated by the chain ball, the wound of the cactus ball is dried upwards for four or five days, the wound is placed on the sandy soil after the membrane is planted, the substrate is permeable, covered with a layer of soil to cover the bottom, but do not cover the ball, put it in a cool place to maintain for about 15-20 days, and there are white roots to appear.

The taproot is underdeveloped, and the fibrous root is more pronounced.

Cacti can be propagated with side buds or cuttings.

1. Side buds. After raising the cactus ball for a long time, it will grow some small side buds from the sphere, and when these side buds grow to about two centimeters, we can break them off and reproduce them separately. Some will grow roots when they grow on the mother, and they can survive by breaking them off to dry the wound and planting them in the soil, which is the most common breeding method for many people to raise cactus.

But his ball must grow big enough to grow a small ball, and some cacti have a weaker ability to meristem side buds, and it is possible to raise a large number of side buds without growing them, and the reproduction rate will be very slow.

2. Cuttings. Cactus, strong germination, grow for 3-4 years, generally can germinate a few or even dozens of baby balls every year. These small balls absorb nutrients on the mother's body, grow rapidly, generally after a period of growth, when the diameter of the balls grows to centimeters, they can be cut off from the mother as cuttings for cuttings and propagation.

Daily maintenance of cactus

1. Light and temperature: There should be sufficient light in the growing season, which can be cultivated outdoors, and at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight or 12-14 hours of artificial light should be received every day. In the hot summer, it should be properly shaded, avoid strong direct sunlight, and be ventilated.

The suitable temperature for growth is 20-25 during the day and 13-15 at night. Before the winter, the mu is moved indoors, the temperature is kept above 5, placed in a sunny place, the minimum temperature is not less than 0, and less than 0 will be affected by the cold.

2. Watering and fertilization: During the growth period, it is necessary to fully water and fertilize, and often keep the potting soil moist, but not too much watering, and no stagnant water, otherwise the roots will rot. Apply thin liquid fertilizer 2-3 times a month, do not fertilize the newly planted plants in the first year, apply phosphate fertilizer once in the flowering period for adult plants, apply more phosphorus fertilizer when fertilizing, and do not sprinkle fertilizer on the plant sphere to avoid the sphere being polluted and rotten.

In winter, fertilizer should be stopped, watering should be reduced, and placed indoors in a sunny and dry place, and the potting soil should be kept appropriately dry. If the potting soil is too dry, it should be hydrated. Watering master the principle of "seeing dry and wet, watering and watering".

The root is not the leaf of the cactus, the leaves of the cactus degenerate and become thorns.

Cactus. Perennial herbaceous succulent plant. The plants are solitary or clumped.

The young plants are spherical, and the old plants grow into a cylindrical shape, 30-75 cm high and 12-15 cm in diameter. The sphere is dark green, with 11-12 ridges, long spines on the edges, black spines, silver and bright brigade cone-shaped, centimeters long. The flowers are born on the side of the dome of the ball, the flowers are white, large trumpet-shaped, the long key book is 24 cm, the diameter of the front stool is 10 cm, it opens at night, withers the next morning, and blooms from May to July.

How do cacti reproduce? Teach you to easily have multiple pots on the edge of one pot!

Use cuttings or grafting, this is the most commonly used method, cuttings are very simple, the ball will grow roots and survive if you insert them directly into the soil!

The propagation of cactus can be cuttings, grafting, and sowing. Cuttings are to move the bred brat balls into the sandy loam soil and wait for them to take root; Grafting is to graft some slow-growing balls onto a measuring ruler or large cactus, and use the nutrients of the rootstock to promote the rapid growth of these balls. Sowing is the sowing of the seeds of some hybrid or rare balls directly on sandy loam soil, which is a careful job due to the extremely small seeds of cactus.
