The propagation of climbing plants is usually easy and can be achieved even by absolute beginners. It can become an interesting hobby. Here you can find out how you can propagate garden and indoor climbing plants.
How can you successfully propagate climbing plants?
Climbing plants can be propagated by seeds, sinkers or cuttings. With sinkers, a side shoot is placed in moist soil until roots emerge. Cuttings are left to root in water or potting soil and later planted. Propagation depends on the type of plant.
How do I propagate my climbing plants?
Climbing plants can be reproduced using thefollowing methods:
- Sowing seeds in sterilized potting soil
- Make a sinker from the mother plant and plant it later
- Root the cuttings in a glass of water or in moist potting soil and then plant them
Lowers are the gentlest method for mother plant and offspring. To do this, you lower a side shoot from the mother plant onto a flower pot that is filled to the brim with moist soil, perlite or moss. Roots then form on the side shoots. The rooted sinker can be cut off later and continues to grow independently in the pot.
Why is propagating climbing plants so worthwhile?
Climbing plants are plants that “naturally” want light quickly and can develop rapidly with sufficient brightness, fertilizer and water. A climbing plant gardener (unlike a bonsai gardener) will soon have asuccess experienceif he grows offspring of his green favorites. Especially climbing plant saplings from warm countries such as runner beans and money plantsgrow quickly
How do I propagate the climbing plant ivy?
The ivy plant is an easy-to-propagate houseplant that you can propagate most quickly using cuttings in water. It is considered one of the easiest houseplants to care for. Cuttingscut by cutting off approx. 15 - 30 cm long trunk pieces with leaves and aerial roots and placing them inwater vessels. Roots appear after just a few weeks. When the roots of the cuttings getlateral roots, the cuttings should be planted. You can propagate room ivy in a similar way.
How do I propagate the climbing plant Clematis?
The types of honeysuckle Clematis can be easily propagated using sinkers or cuttings. Very rarely it is possible to root them from cuttings in a glass of water. Since clematis seeds take up to 3 years to germinate, propagation byoffshoots or sinkersis the best choice. It is important to put the nutrient-hungry young clematis plants in pots later good potting soil to plant. A small greenhouse (€12.00 on Amazon) can be of good use.
Tip
Help, I have propagated too many climbing plants, what should I do?
You can sell offshoots of houseplants via online classifieds. You should offer young garden plants on the noticeboard at the hardware store or sell them at the flea market. Maybe you would like to organize a plant exchange. This is not only fun, but can lead to valuable contacts with fellow breeders.
