Material

step

The first step is to process the cuttings. When choosing branches, you should choose one-year-old semi-lignified branches. Then cut it off, leaving 2 leaves in each section. Note that when cutting the branches, they should be cut at an angle and the cut should be smooth. After cutting the branches, you can also cut off the excess leaves and trim them.

The second step is disinfection. Soak the pruned branches in carbendazim for a while to disinfect them. Then take out the sterilized branches and dry them before use.

Step three: dispose of plastic bottles. Drill a few holes in the bottom of the plastic bottle and cut it in the middle, but be careful not to cut it completely through.

Step 4: Add soil. Put the perlite into the plastic bottle, paying attention to the bottom part. Then place the bottle in a container filled with water and allow the water to slowly soak in.

The fifth step is to carry out cuttings. Insert the processed branches into the soil inside the plastic bottle, then cover it with a lid and wrap the plastic bottle with tape. The bottle caps do not need to be covered. Note that the tray should be kept moist at all times.

In addition, you can directly use a plastic bottle, slightly wet the bottom with water, and then put the cut branches in it.
