How pelargonium is propagated
Thus, we have found out how care is carried out for such a spectacular plant as tulip pelargonium. As you can see, this is relatively easy. The procedure for propagating these plants is also simple. Cuttings or seeds taken from the mother plant are usually used as planting material. In the first case, vertical shoots with two or three leaves are cut from the plant. It is better to separate them according to the node with the growing leaf. The inflorescences are removed from the cuttings. Disembarkation is carried out a couple of hours after cutting. The shank is pre-dipped in crushed coal. Most often, young tulip-shaped pelargoniums are planted in plastic cups. The latter are placed on the south window, and the sprouts themselves are slightly shaded. After filling the cup with the root system, young plants are transferred to a permanent container.
Pelargonium tulip seeds are planted in seed boxes in January or February. They are placed on the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkled. Next, the box is covered with glass or foil. The pick is carried out after the appearance of 2-4 leaves on young plants. Pelargoniums are planted when transported to the same depth at which they grew in the box. After 6-8 weeks, the plants are placed in permanent containers. In balcony boxes, they are seated at a distance of 20-25 cm, depending on the variety.
