Three methods of propagating Sansevieria cylindrica
A Sansevieria cylindrica can be propagated using various methods:
- rearing from seed
- Cutting leaf cuttings
- dividing the root ball
Dividing the root ball is the easiest and quickest way to propagate. However, you need a larger mother plant for this. Leaf cuttings, on the other hand, can also be obtained from young plants.
Growing Sansevieria cylindrica from seed
You can get seeds for Sansevieria cylindrica from your own plant if you leave the inflorescences for pollination. The seed is released and briefly dried. It can then be sown immediately.
- Prepare pots with potting soil
- Spread the seeds thinly
- sprinkle lightly with soil
- Moisten the substrate slightly
- Place pots in clear bags
- grow in a warm, semi-shady spot
In order for the seed to germinate, it needs relatively high temperatures of 25 degrees during the day and 20 degrees at night.
Propagating bow hemp from leaf cuttings
Cut off a healthy Sansevieria cylindrica leaf at the base. Divide it into individual pieces, each of which should be 10 to 15 cm long.
Allow the interfaces to dry for several days. Then put them about four centimeters deep in small pots filled with potting soil.
Place the seed pots (€16.68) in a bright, warm place at 20 to 30 degrees. Water occasionally to keep the soil from drying out completely. It takes some time for roots to form.
How to divide a Sansevieria cylindrica
To divide the Sansevieria cylindrica, remove the plant from the pot and shake off the soil. With a sharp, clean knife, divide the root ball in two. You can also cut off side shoots once they have rooted.
Plant the offshoots in pots filled with cactus or succulent soil.
