To propagate a plant by one of the methods is not difficult. Euphorbia is a very undemanding plant and can grow in any soil, as well as its seeds. With little effort, for a year or two possible in some way to get a good plant that looks good in compositions and a separate pot.

Seed propagation



Most often, the milkweed regenerates, as it blooms often and profusely, and the seeds ripen and fall into its same pot. Already after a month from the beginning of flowering in the pot, it is usually possible to watch 3-5 children. If this process is not controlled, after six months, seedlings will be thick in the pot closely, and to separate their fused roots would be very problematic. By the time flowering begins, the oldest of the babies, and the plant will gradually move all the pots on the windowsill.

To avoid this, you can pull out the stalks before the seeds ripen, as soon as the flower closed (just be sure to wash hands after this tool, as the juice of the Euphorbia is poisonous). One flower you can get from 1 to 4 seeds, with germination problems in milkweed usually does not happen. As soon as the seed comes up, if it happened in the parent pot, as soon as possible to plant it in a separate bowl. The root of Euphorbia long and branched, growing, as does the milkweed, fast, and a week after sprouting to get a small Euphorbia, will have to dig up podgorska.


Propagation by cuttings



In addition to reproduction by seed, and grafted Euphorbia. If you cut the top of the adult plant, it will do him good, stimulating branching. Belazelkov branched spurge looks more decorative and interesting than growing up in a trunk. It happens that the plant begins to ramify itself without cropping, but this is rare and very old plants.

Cutting off the top, even with a low-maintenance plant like Euphorbia you should follow some rules to both plants eventually alive and healthy. Crop can plants that are not less than a year, because only by this time, milkweed, there are forces on branching. You can not cut milkweed at the root or leave only a thin trunk. Branched or give the roots of this plant can only be a thickened part of the trunk, which already were fluffy, sheets and clearly visible face. Cutting off milkweed, the plant should be left at least 3 leaves. Before cropping it is not watered at least three days to avoid intense socoteanu. The juice from the slice do not wipe, he needs to curl up and become transparent yourself. Then slice liberally powdered with powdered charcoal.

Cut the stalk dries on unnecessary paper or cloth from 6 to 10 hours. Stains from his juice is very hard to wash off clothes. After this time, the cut of the cutting is also dusted with charcoal and put the plant to take root in clean sand or vermiculite. It is possible to root and spurge in the water, but the results will be worse than vermiculite, and sand.
