Curio articulatus, syn. Senecio articulatus and Baculellum articulatum, [2] which is also known as candle plant, pickle plant and hot dog cactus, is a deciduous succulent plant that is native to South Africa. [3] Its nicknames are derived from its distinctive swollen and jointed stems. [4]
Cactus can be easily propagated by cutting or offset propagating method. [10] [11] [12] Gymnocalycium produces offsets easily, even when grafted, which can then be grafted to a new base, perpetuating the plant. Even the best grafts only last a few years, as the base grows faster than the Gymnocalycium. After that point, the difference in speed ...
Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes. Propagation typically occurs as a step in the overall cycle of plant growth. For seeds, it happens after ripening and dispersal ; for vegetative parts, it happens after detachment or pruning; for asexually-reproducing plants, such as strawberry, it happens as the new plant ...
These holiday favorites are easy to propagate from cuttings to grow gifts for family and friends.
Fill a tray with a 50:50 blend of potting soil and perlite. Water the soil so it is moist. Poke a hole in the soil and place the cut end of the stem in the soil right below the first pair of ...
Air layering is a propagation method that encourages roots to form on a stem that is still attached to the parent plant. Using a sharp knife, make a little notch—less than a 1/4-inch deep—into ...
Baobab trees have two types of shoots—long, green vegetative ones, and stout, woody reproductive ones. Branches can be massive and spread out horizontally from the trunk or are ascending. Adansonia gregorii is generally the smallest of the baobabs, rarely getting to over 10 m (33 ft) tall and often with multiple trunks. [ 8 ]
Baobab trees have much higher water and parenchyma content than most trees, this allows them to grow very large with less energy expenditure. [14] Parenchyma are soft plant tissue cells that are commonly used for water storage in other drought tolerant species like cactus and succulents.
