The secret to successful cuttings1 Medium requirementsBranch cuttings means using branches for cuttings. First of all, we must pay attention to the choice of the substrate. Choose a clean medium without fertilizer, so that the wounds of the cuttings will not be infected by bacteria. In addition, the substrate for cuttings must be breathable and water-permeable. For example, perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc. are all good cutting materials. Many flower lovers do not pay attention to the choice of substrate. The cuttings are infected by bacteria and rot within a few days. How can they grow new roots? 2 Use a clean and sharp bladeTry not to use scissors when cutting cuttings, as scissors can easily squeeze the phloem and cause bacterial infection. In addition, when using a blade to cut cuttings, first disinfect them with alcohol, and then roast them with fire. This can prevent the tissue around the wound from being injured and infected with bacteria. 3. Choose strong and full branchesWhen choosing cuttings, make sure they are strong, free of pests and diseases, and face the sun. The branches will grow well and have a high survival rate. The secret to successful leaf cuttings1. Let the cut dry before cuttingLeaves suitable for leaf cuttings are generally thicker, more juicy, and have larger wounds. When doing leaf cuttings, do not rush to insert the cuttings into the substrate. First, place the leaves in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a while. Wait until the wounds are dry before cutting. This can prevent the leaves from being infected by bacteria and rotting. 2. Keep your skin moisturizedSince the leaves have poor water retention capacity, you must pay attention to maintaining the air humidity. After cuttings, you can cover the flower pot with a plastic bag or other cover. 3 Leaf SelectionNewly grown leaves are too tender and have low nutrient content, while leaves that are too old are not very active, so try to choose mature and strong leaves. Do not leave the petioles too long as they are prone to rot and affect the absorption of nutrients. Babies, now you know how to take cuttings, right? |
