Pipe vines can easily be multiplied by yourself. If you already have a plant in the garden or in a container, all you need is some seeds, a few cuttings or you lower a few shoots. This is how the reproduction of the pipe bindweed works.
If the pipe bindweed develops flowers and seeds, these can be used for propagation
Three ways to propagate a pipevine
- sowing
- cuttings
- lowering
Sow the pipe bindweed
In local regions, pipe bindweed does not bloom very profusely. Seeds are therefore formed only sparingly, if at all. If your pipevine produces seeded fruit, pick it off and let the seeds dry. Attention: the seeds of the pipevine are highly poisonous!
Sow them in small seed pots (€16.68) in spring and cover them with soil. The pots should be wrapped in cling film until they emerge to keep the humidity constant.
Keep the pots bright and warm. A sunny window with temperatures of up to 25 degrees is ideal.
cut cuttings
Propagation via cuttings is easier. Take cuttings 15 centimeters long from one or two year old shoots. Remove the lower leaves and put the pieces of shoots in prepared pots with potting soil.
Place the pots in a bright, warm, sheltered spot. Keep the soil well moist. Note that the cuttings have formed roots when new leaves sprout.
As soon as the pot is well rooted, you can plant the pipe bindweed outdoors or in a bucket.
Increase pipe vines over sinkers
The easiest way to propagate pipe vines outdoors is in early summer using sinkers. Choose a shoot that is not too old and that you can bend down to the bottom.
Loosen the soil next to the pipevine. Score the shoot several times and place it on the loosened soil. The tendril is then covered with soil. Tent pegs are well suited for fixing the sinker in the ground. The shoot tip must look out of the ground.
The following spring the shoot has developed roots and can be planted in the desired location.
tips
Pipe winches are hardy and hardy. Early plants from the garden market can be planted out as early as March. However, it is better to wait until it gets a little warmer before planting your own plants.
