Cutting propagation of pearl spider plant

Cutting propagation of pearl spider plant

Overview

The general steps for propagating pearl spider plants through cuttings are the same as other steps, which is nothing more than preparing the soil suitable for the plant's growth first, choosing the best season for propagation, inserting the cuttings into the soil after cutting and taking good care of them. What we want to emphasize today is what we should pay attention to when grafting pearl spider plants and what we need to pay attention to when preparing the potting soil.

Soil preparation

The preparation of the soil for pearl spider plant is different from that for other plants. In addition to the basic requirement of looseness and air permeability, it also needs to be fertile. This is because the roots of pearl spider plant are relatively shallow and its ability to compete for nutrients is not strong. The best choice is humus soil, garden soil and river sand mixed evenly in a ratio of 2:5:3. If conditions permit, the soil should be sterilized and disinfected. On the one hand, it can remove the seeds of weeds in the soil, and on the other hand, it can also remove insect eggs in the soil, thereby increasing the survival rate of pearl spider plant after cuttings.

Selection and preservation of cuttings

The method of selecting cuttings for Pearl Chlorophytum is to cut them from strong mother branches. Generally, the length of a cutting is between five and seven centimeters. In addition, two to three tender buds can be maintained in each cutting. On the one hand, it is to maintain moisture, and on the other hand, it is to increase the survival rate of the cuttings after cutting. The cuttings are generally taken after the soil is prepared. After cutting, they are directly inserted into the prepared soil. However, if the cuttings are cut before the soil is prepared, the cuttings must be preserved, wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a cool place.

Precautions

The last step of cutting is also a very important step. It should be noted that the cuttings should be inserted into the soil to one-third of the depth and should not exceed two-thirds of the whole cutting, so as to prevent the pearl spider plant from taking root.
