Lisianthus cuttings: material selectionYou should choose the part of the lisianthus with strong division ability, preferably the stem under the second pair of leaves below the heart leaf after jointing, because the division ability is stronger, so it is very important to choose the cuttings. The stems below the first pair of leaves under the heart leaves are relatively delicate and have higher requirements for nutrients, so the survival rate is slightly lower. It is best to choose cuttings with only one pair of leaves, which will also increase the survival rate. Eustoma cuttings: cutting processingCut the cuttings obliquely into small sections containing a pair of leaves. The purpose of oblique cutting is to increase the meristem area of the cutting. Then cut each leaf in half, because when the cuttings are first planted, they have no roots and the nutrients they need are all stored. Cutting half of the leaves can reduce the consumption of nutrients and is more conducive to rooting. But you cannot cut off all the leaves, otherwise the cuttings will not be able to carry out photosynthesis and produce nutrients. Eustoma cuttings: preparing the substrateThe substrate should be slightly alkaline, with a pH value of 6-6.5. You can use peat plus some vermiculite and perlite, add some carbendazim and stir, then disinfect the substrate to prevent the growth of bacteria. Before sowing, water the substrate thoroughly to keep it moist. Lisianthus cuttings: specific stepsFirst, use chopsticks or a wooden stick to poke a small hole in the potting soil, put the cuttings in, then compact the potting soil with your hands and water it thoroughly. Cover with film or a transparent lid and poke a few small holes on it for ventilation. Place the pot in a bright but cool area that will receive direct sunlight in winter and early spring. After 10 days, you can remove the film or plastic cover. The cuttings will take root in 3-5 weeks. When they have taken root to a certain extent, new buds will begin to sprout from the above-ground parts. When the new shoots grow a second pair of leaves, they can be transplanted and normal maintenance can be carried out at this time. |
