Rooting is the first step after cuttings, but how can we correctly judge whether the branches have taken root? Novice flower growers, driven by curiosity, check the flowers once a day and pull up the branches to check the roots every time. In fact, this is one of the reasons why cuttings fail. Because when the branches are pulled up, many tiny roots will be damaged in a state that is imperceptible to the naked eye, losing their original chance to regenerate.Check whether the branches have recoveredThe first two weeks after cutting are the most critical time. Remember not to move the branches at will or change the placement of the branches. If the leaves at the top of the branches can remain green for more than 2 weeks, it means that the branches have sufficient water supply and the roots have grown. Most plants will grow roots after 2 weeks of special care. Are new leaves and buds sprouting?When the temperature and humidity are suitable and there is no water loss, the branches will grow leaves or buds after taking root. Except for a few plants such as rose cuttings that are grafted in spring, most plants, as long as they sprout new buds, contain the information that branches will grow roots. What happens with rose cuttings? In the spring, the lateral buds of rose cuttings will grow faster than the roots, creating an illusion of rooting. Because the new buds do not have the support of roots to absorb water, the branches that were originally thought to be alive will quickly wither, causing the cuttings to fail. You can see the roots growing without moving too muchMost herbs and aromatic plants will grow rapidly in a suitable environment. If you look closely at the contact surface between the branches and the soil, you will find many tiny roots. For plants with well-developed roots, the growth of capillary roots will be very vigorous and can be easily identified with the naked eye. |
