Can I multiply my seed flowers myself?
The easy-care flower usually does not become infinitely old, but only about seven to ten years. Therefore, an increase is definitely recommended and not too difficult. Alternatively, you would have to buy a new flower every few years.
How can I multiply the Säckelblume?
The propagation of Säckelblume is possible with different methods. Very simple is the multiplication by sinkers. Cutting cuttings is a bit more involved. However, most of the patience is needed for sowing.
The increase by sinkers
The multiplication of your flower by sinkers is the simplest method. You do not need potting soil or pots for it. In the spring, look for a ground-level shoot from the previous year and scratch it a little on the underside. Bend the shoot so that it rests with the cut on the ground and put a little earth over it.
You may complain this point with a stone, so that the shoot does not straighten up again. All you have to do is wait until next spring. Then enough roots should have formed, so that you can separate the young plant from the mother plant and transplant to another place. However, a high-stemmed variety is not suitable for this type of propagation.
Cut and care for cuttings
From late spring to June, cut about 15 to 20 centimeters long cuttings from the young side shoots. Remove the lower leaves and any blooms and cut the rest of the leaves in half to reduce evaporation.
In a pot with potting soil, keep your cuttings evenly moist. By autumn they should rooted well and begin the budding. But they are not hardy and should not be planted until early in the morning.
