How long does it take to dry the roots of the cuttings of the sword?

1. How long does it take to dry the roots of Euphorbia milii after cutting?

The roots of Euphorbia pulcherrima cuttings are usually air-dried for 1-3 days. The specific air-drying time can be judged by the incisions on the stems and leaves of the plant. The branches of Euphorbia pulcherrima are cut into several small sections as cuttings. Make sure each section is 8-15cm long, place the cuttings in a cool and ventilated place, and wait until the cut on the branch is completely dry before taking it for cuttings.

2. How to propagate Euphorbia pulcherrima by cuttings

Before cutting the Euphorbia obesa, prepare loose and breathable nutrient soil. You can use leaf mold and perlite to mix it. Moisten the soil with water in advance. The soil moisture should be such that it can be held in a ball by hand and will fall apart when touched. Then insert the dried Euphorbia obesa vertically into the moist soil, gently compact the soil around the branches with your hands, and move the potted plant to a cool and ventilated place.

After the Euphorbia obesa has been grafted, wait until the soil is almost dry before watering it. After the Euphorbia obesa has taken root, move the potted plant to the sun to gradually increase the light conditions in the maintenance environment. Then weigh the soil in the pot, and water it thoroughly when it feels noticeably lighter. As the plant grows, gradually replace it with a larger pot and apply appropriate top dressing to promote vigorous growth of the plant.
