To multiply the sunflower - 4 methods
A sunflower is not enough? Then go to action and fulfill your wish by multiplying the sunflower! Several methods can be used. They are spoiled for choice ...
Division - the simplest variant
The division of the perennial is considered the simplest propagation method:
Rooted cuttings in a pot or glass
Cuttings cut best in the summer. Then it is warm enough so that the cuttings can still root well. The cuttings can root in both a glass of water and in a pot of soil.
This is what you do when you decide on the pot cuttings:
Sowing: Attention, because the seeds are chillers!
Also the sowing of the fine seeds is not difficult. Note in particular that the seeds are chillers. So sowing in the living room is not worth it. Better is a preculture on the balcony or the terrace and a subsequent culture in a cooler room such as the bedroom.
That's how it's done:
The lowering method
Finally, you can multiply the sunflowers by lowering. For this you need a healthy mother plant. Choose a nice shoot and pull it to the ground. There he is covered with earth and fixed with a stone. The shoot tip should look out of the ground. Keep moist and separate when the shoot is rooted!
Tips
The freshly propagated specimens are badly hardy. Therefore, you should definitely protect them in the first winter with brushwood or straw.
