How to propagate Pilea coleus by cuttings

Cutting medium

When it comes to cuttings, the cutting medium is indispensable. Before cutting cuttings, prepare the cutting medium in advance to prevent the branches from losing too much water. The cutting medium can be river sand, peat soil, or a mixture of the two. It is best to disinfect it before use to remove pathogens and insect eggs in the soil.

Selection of cuttings

Cuttings are selected from strong mother branches, and the length of each cutting is five to eight centimeters. It is important to choose young and healthy leaves to ensure that the cuttings can take root and grow normally after grafting.

Planting

It is a very simple step. First put the substrate into the pot, and then insert the selected cuttings into the cutting substrate. Be sure to water the plants sufficiently after cuttings.

Maintenance

After cuttings, they should be placed at a suitable temperature for growth, generally between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is too high, it needs to be cooled down, such as blocking the sunlight or spraying mist; when the temperature is too low, it needs to be kept warm, and you can wrap it with a layer of plastic film. It should not be without light, nor should it be exposed to too much sunlight, so during the growth process, 50% to 80% of the sunlight should be blocked.
