The ball division propagation method of Red spider lily

Different from other flowers which are propagated by cuttings, the propagation method of Red Spider Lily mainly adopts the division method. Dig out the plants from the soil in the pot during the dormant period or after flowering. Take off the seed balls near the cue ball and plant them. They will flower in about a year or two.

Cutting propagation method of Red spider lily

Bulb cutting is also one of the propagation methods of Red Spider Lily, besides the common method of bulb splitting. Specific practices are as follows:

• 1. Dig out the bulbs of the Red Spider Lily for propagation from the soil and rinse them under clean water to remove excess soil.
• 2. Cut the cleaned bulb base with a cutting tool in eight meters, and the cutting depth is about one half to two thirds of the bulb length.
• 3. Disinfect the cut bulb blocks for propagation and place them in a cool environment to dry.
• 4. Insert the bulb into the moist sand for propagation, perlite and other substrates. After about 3 months, adventitious buds can be seen at the junction of the scales and the basal disc, and gradually grow into small bulb bulbs. After separation and cultivation, seedlings can be formed.

Tissue culture propagation method of Red spider lily

Using MS medium, pedicels and ovaries were picked as explant materials. After culture, callus could be produced at the incision. Adventitious roots can form after 1 month and adventitious buds can form after 3 to 4 months. Using pedicels and scales with stems as explants for tissue culture propagation, adventitious buds and subforms can also be produced.

Sowing propagation method of Red spider lily

The sowing propagation method of Red spider lily is used outdoors, but not in potted plants at home. This kind of propagation method is generally used to cross Red spider lily with other varieties. Sowing in natural environment, only a few seedlings pull out one leaf in the first growth cycle, the seedling stage can be transplanted once, and it takes about 4-5 years from sowing to flowering of seedlings.

Precautions: (1) Because the seeds are dormant in summer, they should avoid sowing in summer and can be sown in other seasons; (2) Sowing seeds immediately after seed collection, keep the temperature at 20℃, and you can see the radicle exposed in about 15 days.

If you know how to raise Red spiders and how to propagate them, you will become a little expert on raising Red spiders. Red spider lily is an unlucky flower and looks a little weird when it blooms.
