Advanced Information of Auricula (Primula auricula)

Pruning

Auricula plants benefit from regular pruning and cutting back to maintain their shape, promote healthy growth, and encourage abundant flowering. Pruning is necessary to eradicate non-viable or damaged foliage, better air movement, and prevent the dissemination of diseases. It also assists to control the size of the plant and prevent it from becoming spindly or overcrowded. The optimal time to prune Auricula is in early spring, before new growth begins. To prune Auricula, initiate by eradicating any non-viable or yellowing leaves at the base of the plant. Next, trim back any protracted or straggly stems to promote a more compact and bushy growth habit. Utilize clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts just above a leaf node or bud. After pruning, it is important to water the plant thoroughly and apply a balanced fertilizer to provide nutrients for new growth. Regularly observe the plant for any indications of pests or diseases and take appropriate action if necessary.

Propagation

Auricula can be propagated by some methods like putting seeds, dividing, cutting stems, and cutting leaves. To make more plants by putting seeds, get ripe seeds and put them in a pot with soil that drains well. Keep the soil a little wet and put the pot somewhere warm and bright. New plants usually start growing in 2-3 weeks. For dividing, carefully separate the plant into smaller groups, making sure each group has roots. Put the groups in different pots or directly in the garden. Keep the soil a little wet until they start growing well. To make more plants by cutting stems, cut healthy stems from plants and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting powder and put it in soil that drains well. Keep the soil moist and give bright, indirect light. Roots should start growing in a few weeks. Leaf cuttings can also make new plants. Take a healthy leaf and cut it into pieces, making sure each piece has a vein. Put the leaf pieces in soil that drains well and keep the soil moist. New plants will grow from the leaf pieces in a few weeks. It's not necessary to harvest when using the methods mentioned above.
