When should you plant cuttings for hydroponic green radish (with steps and illustrations), and how long does it take for roots to form?

1. Cutting time

The best time for hydroponic cuttings of Chlorophytum cochinchinensis is spring and summer. Specifically, it can be done in late spring or early summer. The rooting speed will be faster during these two times. If it is done in midsummer or severe winter, the rooting will be affected due to the cold or hot weather. Hydroponics in spring and summer not only has a higher survival rate, but also grows new roots faster.

2. Cutting method

Prepare a transparent hydroponic container and add 1/3-2/3 of clean water. Cut a branch about 15 cm long from the mother plant, and the branch should have aerial roots. Clean off the leaves at the bottom of the cuttings, otherwise they will rot easily if they are soaked in water. Finally, insert the processed branches into a container filled with water, being careful not to let the leaves get wet.

3. How long does it take to take root?

Hydroponics is easier to root. Generally, small fibrous roots will grow on the branches in 7-15 days. If you want it to take root faster, you need to change the water every 3 days or so to avoid hindering root growth due to poor water quality.
