Cutting method of tiger skin orchid

Cutting preparation

Tool Preparation

Prepare potting soil, watering can and various gardening tools before cutting. Of course, you also need to prepare a pot of healthy and strong snake plant.

Preparing the Plants

Before cuttings, you should strengthen the management of the mother plant, increase watering appropriately, keep the soil moist, apply a little liquid fertilizer, and ensure that the mother plant is strong, which is more conducive to the survival of the cuttings.

Cutting method

Cut leaves

Break off a few leaves from a healthy snake plant. Choose fresh leaves that are not damaged. You can eat it as a whole leaf, or cut the leaf into pieces of six or seven centimeters. Place the harvested leaves in a cool place for 24 hours to allow the wounds to dry.

Cuttings

Prepare the soil mixed with sand. It is better to choose breathable and loose soil. (You don’t have to prepare a separate pot. You can choose a pot with larger gaps that has been used to grow flowers and plants.) Insert the prepared leaves into the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 cm.

Maintenance after cutting

Shade maintenance

Place the grafted Sansevieria in a cool place, keep it ventilated and airy, and keep the soil in the pot moist. Do not water too much or let it get wet by rain, otherwise the cuttings will easily rot.

root

It is a long process for Sansevieria to take root by cuttings. It will take a month for roots to grow, so you need to be patient. After 1 to 2 months of rooting, many small buds will emerge and gradually grow into seedlings.

In short, it takes half a year for Sansevieria to grow from cuttings to seedlings. You need to wait patiently and don't give up easily.
