How do I magnify my auricles?
With its rich colors and delicate fragrance, the auricle (bot. Primula auricula) is an asset to any garden or balcony box. But this primrose plant, which flourishes in numerous colors, is also very sophisticated, easy to care for and easy to grow.
The propagation of the auricles is possible in various ways, namely by daughter plants or division and by sowing. The slimming and planting of the daughter plants is done in a few minutes, for a sowing you need a little patience.
Propagation by daughter plants
The auricle independently forms secondary rosettes, which are single daughter plants. They occur either on the roots or in the leaf axils. By separating these daughter plants, you receive identical auricles with the mother plant, ie plants that grow in the same shape and flower in the same color.
The division of the primula auricula
The best time to divide your auricles is early spring (February to March) or after flowering (September to October). Take enough time and dig out the plants to be divided. Rinse the roots with water, then see where you can best cut through the roots.
The sub-plants are planted as well as the daughter plants. Choose a sunny location that is overcast in the afternoon, with a loose, well drained soil. Even a rock garden is well suited. If necessary, add a tiny portion of compost to the planting hole, as the auricle prefers rather lean soil. Even if they otherwise tolerate dryness, water the plants well.
The sowing of the auricles
Even with the help of seeds, you can multiply their auricles. However, you will not receive any single-variety plants. If you do not mind or you love surprises, then just try the sowing. Sprinkle the seeds on moist soil without covering them. At 18 ° C to 20 ° C they germinate after about 20 days.
