Laburnum - that's how you care for new offspring
Laburnum is a delightful sight in the garden with its numerous yellow flowers. Of this one can easily use another small plant. Do not hesitate to propagate, because she also succeeds playing a hobby gardener. We explain the possibilities.
Two simple and one challenging variant
For the propagation of laburnum (Laburnum botanical) there are generally three ways open:
While the first two methods are easy to use, experience and tact are needed for the third variant. It is rather not recommended for hobby gardeners and therefore should not be explained here.
Tips
Often the laburnum increases without human intervention. Seedlings sprout again and again from fallen seeds, which can be transplanted to another location.
Propagation by seeds
After the yellow flowers bloom, elongated seed pods form. Once the seeds have matured, the pods burst and release their contents. From the brown seeds you can simply pull new seedlings.
- Wait until the seed pods are dry. Pick some of the pods and remove the seed. Sow the seeds in pots with seed soil. Cover it only slightly with earth. First, cover the pot with a cling film to accelerate germination. Place the pot at room temperature where it gets plenty of light but little direct sun. Once you have reached a height of about 10 cm, pike the shoots.
Propagation by cuttings
Woody or even green shoots are equally well suited for the propagation of laburnum.
The planted shoots need moist soil throughout. Therefore, grab the watering can regularly, especially on warm days. But always make sure that no waterlogging arises.
Plant young laburnum
New roots and new leaves clearly show that the cuttings propagation has worked out. The move to the open should nevertheless be maintained. The first months should spend the still sensitive plants in the house.
In the spring, when frost is no longer to be expected, the young plant may be planted at its new destination.
