What's wrong with the old black stems of Schefflera arboricola hydroponic cuttings (the branches of Schefflera arboricola cuttings turn black)

Schefflera is evergreen all year round and is a very ornamental green plant with a strong ability to adapt to the environment. It can also serve as a decoration when placed in the home.

Schefflera arborvitae can be propagated hydroponically. If the stems become black during hydroponic cuttings, it must be because the following points have not been paid attention to. I will share them with you briefly.

First, water quality issues

The water used for cuttings of Schefflera arborvitae must be clean, and many people use tap water for cuttings.

It is best not to use tap water directly, because it contains chlorine and bleaching powder. If you use tap water for cuttings, you must leave it for about 1 day to allow the chlorine to evaporate, otherwise it will be detrimental to rooting. If you use clean mineral water, the survival rate of cuttings will be a little higher .

Second, change the water

When propagating Schefflera arborvitae, you must pay attention to changing the water regularly. Some flower lovers never change the water, and the water quality is polluted, which will breed a large number of bacteria and cause black rot of the roots.

Therefore, when changing water, you should observe the water quality. It is best to change the water regularly and frequently. Do not wait until the water changes color before changing the water.

Third, the lighting problem

Many flower lovers do not pay attention to the environment when cutting Schefflera and place it under the light. In fact, it does not need sunlight when cutting. The best way is to place it in a cool and ventilated place .

Generally, when caring for it, I can cover the glass bottle with paper to protect it from light, which can promote its rooting quickly and reduce the probability of black stems.

【 Summarize 】

When hydroponically cultivating Schefflera arborvitae, pay attention to the use of water and trim the rhizome into a 45-degree angle to facilitate rooting .

Just keep 2 or 3 leaves to carry out photosynthesis and speed up rooting . You can also apply some rooting powder to make it more conducive to rooting.

Change the water regularly and clean the bottle wall. The Schefflera arborvitae takes root relatively quickly and is relatively easy to grow. You can try it again.
