How to propagate Chlorophytum comosum by cuttings

Cutting propagation time

When propagating Chlorophytum comosum, there are many methods to choose from, and cutting propagation is one of them. When taking cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum, it is better to do it in spring, summer and autumn.

Cutting selection

When taking cuttings of Chlorophytum comosum, it is very important to choose suitable cuttings.

The main requirement is that the branches of the thousand-leaf spider plant are full and really long, about 5-10 cm.

When cutting cuttings, choose tender branches, preferably branches with terminal buds, and then remove some of the leaves at the lower end, leaving only a few leaves.

Specific method of cutting

After the cuttings are processed, they can be propagated. Choose a round flowerpot with a diameter of about 7.5 cm for cuttings. The substrate for cuttings is generally a breathable mixed soil. Multiple branches can usually be grafted into one flowerpot. Insert the branches into the soil, and the remaining branches should be cut from the center to the outside.

Chlorophytum comosum cuttings usually take root faster in spring and summer, and will take about 2-3 weeks to grow roots. However, the growth of Chlorophytum comosum is relatively slow, so when taking cuttings, choose a small flowerpot, and it is better to fill the entire flowerpot with cuttings.

When the thousand-leaf spider plant starts to grow, you can apply some fertilizer to promote its growth.
