Begonia cutting timeBegonia likes a warm growing environment. The surrounding temperature should be kept at around 20 degrees Celsius during cuttings. The time can be selected from April to May in spring. At this time, the temperature and humidity are very suitable, and the growth is good and the survival rate is high. Begonia cutting method1. Cut the cuttings Cut strong one- to two-year-old branches from a begonia that is in good growth condition, making sure each branch has three or four nodes. Cut the bottom at a 45-degree angle to increase the absorption area, then remove the leaves at the lower end and keep one or two leaves on the top. 2. Prepare the soil Begonia grows vigorously in breathable, nutrient-rich soil. The substrate used for cuttings can be prepared by mixing humus and sandy soil, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant. After preparation, it should be placed in the sun for disinfection before being used for cuttings. 3. Take cuttings Fill the container with substrate, water to keep it moist, drill holes in the soil with a wooden stick, then dip some rooting powder at the bottom of the branch and insert it into the small hole. After cutting, compact the surrounding soil and wait for the branch to take root and sprout. Maintenance of Begonia after cuttingAfter the begonia is cut, it can be placed in a cool place for maintenance. Do not water it immediately to prevent the wound from rotting and unable to heal. Wait for 3-5 days and water it thoroughly. If the temperature is controlled at around 20℃, it will take about 15-20 days to take root and survive. Then move it to a sunny place for maintenance. It can be transplanted after the growth becomes stable. |
