How to make cuttings grow faster?

The cutting operation of Gloxinia is simple. As long as you choose the right branches, leaves and buds, insert them into the appropriate soil and maintain a certain temperature, they can be propagated well. Next, I will introduce the cutting method of Gloxinia.

How to propagate Gloxinia by cuttings

1. Cut the cuttings

To propagate Gloxinia, you need to choose appropriate cuttings. You can cut one or two branches from the lush branches of the mother plant, and the branches are about 2-3 cm. Then cut off the leaves at the bottom of the Gloxinia branches to avoid the loss of excess nutrients. It is best to apply root water on the large branches to promote rapid growth.

2. Prepare the soil

Gloxinia is suitable for growing on loose, fertile humus soil. To cultivate Gloxinia, it is necessary to mix the soil in a ratio of 1:1:3, and then add agricultural fertilizer made from fermented poultry manure to provide Gloxinia with the nutrients it needs for growth.

3. Cutting method

When cutting Gloxinia, you need to insert the branches of the plant directly into the soil and compact the soil around the branches to prevent it from falling over. In this way, you can move the Gloxinia to a place with scattered light and receive natural light around the clock. After 10-15 days, the Gloxinia will be able to take root and sprout.

4. Watering method

When planting Gloxinia, adjust the frequency of watering according to seasonal changes. Water once a week in spring and autumn to promote vigorous growth of Gloxinia. When the temperature is high in summer, water once a day. Spray water around the Gloxinia one or two times to increase the air humidity.

Precautions for cuttings of Gloxinia

1. Base soil

In the process of cuttings of Gloxinia, it is best to use the substrate for cuttings first, and then transplant them into new soil after they have taken root and sprouted. Whether it is leaf cuttings or branch cuttings, it is best to use a substrate mixed with perlite and vermiculite, or sterilized river sand or fine sand, but the substrate must be moist.

2. Control the temperature

Gloxinia cuttings require a temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold, preferably around 22°C. During the branch cutting period, the temperature should be controlled at 18-20°C, and a small amount of water should be applied to maintain humidity, and roots will take shape in 15 days.

When transplanting rice seedlings, the temperature should be kept at 22~25℃ and the humidity should be high. The seedlings will germinate after 20 days and then be transplanted into pots .
