How to propagate Tiger Pilan

Tiger Pilan plant division propagation method

Division time

This method can be carried out throughout the year, but requires the temperature of the environment to be controlled between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. However, spring and summer are the most suitable seasons, and division can be carried out in spring in conjunction with repotting.

Pot soil selection

The potting soil should be loose, fertile, and sandy with good permeability.

Disinfection after removing the basin

First, remove the snake plant from the pot, remove the soil from the roots, expose the rhizomes, and then divide the plant into several clumps (keep at least 2 to 3 leaves in each clump). Apply sulfur powder or wood ash on the cut surface and put it in the pot after it dries.

Basin

When potting, sprinkle some fine sand on the roots of the plants to help them survive, 2 to 3 plants per pot.

Maintenance after division

After division, water the plants sufficiently and place them in a cool place for 2 to 3 days to allow them to adapt to the environment, then maintain them normally.

Cutting propagation method of tiger skin orchid

The cutting method is simple and can be carried out as long as the room temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Cutting method

Cut mature leaves (one year old or more) into small pieces of about 8 cm (or longer), dry them in the shade for 1 to 2 days, and then insert them upright into clean river sand (or perlite, vermiculite), about 3 to 4 cm deep.

Adventitious roots will grow one month after cuttings, and many new buds will grow at the base. After small leaves grow, they can be transplanted into pots!

Cutting precautions

Be careful not to insert the cuttings upside down when inserting. Make sure to maintain a certain humidity after insertion. When the soil for cuttings is slightly dry, spray water with a fine-meshed spray bottle, but do not make it too wet to avoid rot.

The most suitable season for cuttings is spring and summer. Although it can be done in other seasons, the rooting time is relatively long.

For Sansevieria with root rot, you can cut off the rotten part of the root and continue to propagate it by cuttings.
