The propagation method of Guangdong Dieffenbachia

The most commonly used methods of propagation of Guangdong Evergreen are division propagation and cutting propagation. Today we will focus on learning these two propagation methods.

Propagation by division

The appropriate time for division propagation is generally when repotting in spring. Dig the Guangdong Evergreen plant out of the original pot and cut off the rhizome at the base of the stem with a knife. Wait until the incision is dry for a period of time before potting it. It should be noted that after the potting is completed, do not water it too much to prevent water accumulation in the pot and make it difficult for the plant to breathe.

Cutting propagation

The best time for cutting propagation of Guangdong Evergreen is spring and summer every year.

Select healthy branches of about 10 cm from the Guangdong Evergreen plant as cuttings, dig a hole in the prepared substrate, and insert the cuttings into the prepared substrate hole. During the cutting process, pay attention to maintaining a relatively high air humidity and keep the temperature at around 20 degrees Celsius. The Guangdong Evergreen will take root about 25 days after cutting.

In addition, Guangdong Evergreen can also be planted using the water insertion method. When using the water insertion method, choose a scion about 20 cm long, insert it in a cup of clean water, change the water every two days or so, and roots will grow in about 20 days. When the root system grows well, you can change the pot for growth.
