2. The propagation method of Crassulaceae Guanyin Lotus

Leaf cuttings: Spread the complete mature leaves flat on moist sandy soil, with the leaf surface facing up and the back of the leaf facing down. Do not cover with soil and place in a cool place. After about 10 days, small leaf clusters and new roots will grow from the base of the leaves. Bury the roots in the soil. After that, let it get more sun, water and fertilize appropriately, and it will gradually grow into a strong new plant.

Cuttings: You can use single leaves, suckers or top branches. The length of the cuttings is not limited, but the cut ends must be dry, remove the lower leaves, and then insert into the sand bed. It usually takes about 20 days to take root after cutting. The cutting soil should not be too wet, otherwise the cut ends will easily turn yellow and rot. When the roots are 2-3 cm long, they can be potted. Leaf cuttings can also be used.

Division: It is best to do it in spring. Cutting propagation is commonly used. Indoor cuttings can be done in all seasons, but August to October is the best time, with fast rooting and high survival rate. Cuttings can be single leaves, suckers or top branches. The length of the cuttings is not limited, but the cut ends must be dry before inserting into the sand bed. Rooting usually takes about 20 days after cutting.

Pest control: Rust, leaf spot and root-knot nematodes are common, which can be controlled by spraying 800 times diluted 75% chlorothalonil wettable powder, and 3% furadan granules for root-knot nematodes. Black weevils are common, which can be killed by spraying 500 times diluted 25% carbaryl wettable powder.
