How to propagate green radish

1. Cutting

1. Choose branches

Select mature, healthy-looking, disease- and insect-free strips from the green radish. It is generally recommended to select from the center of the green radish plant, so that the branches and leaves in the middle can be seen through. The selected paper strip has three or four leaves and is about ten centimeters in length.

2. Choose the matrix

The choice of substrate for cuttings is very important. Choose loose, fertile and clean soil, but it must not contain fertilizer. Fertilizer will inhibit the production of new roots and is not conducive to the survival of green radish.

3. Post-maintenance

After planting, place the green radish in a cool and ventilated place. Be sure to avoid direct sunlight for the cuttings. If the humidity at home is low and the air is too dry, you can cover the leaves of the cuttings with plastic film. If the number of cuttings is relatively small, you can also use disposable paper cups upside down to keep them warm and moisturized.

2. Layering

The green ivy has aerial roots growing on the knots. Using this feature, we can select longer green ivy branches and bury them in the soil without cutting them off, ensuring that the soil can cover the "knots" of the green ivy so that the aerial roots can play a role. In about twenty days or a month, the nodule will grow roots. After the roots grow out, you can cut it off from the mother plant, dig it out of the soil, and transplant it into a new pot.

3. Water plug

Place the cut branches (same requirements as above) in a cool place for about twenty minutes until the wound slowly dries. Then add water to a clean container and put the branches in. Change the water about once a week and you will slowly observe new roots growing out. After the new roots grow out, you can choose to grow them in soil or water. If you want to grow them in soil, you can transplant them when the new roots grow to about ten centimeters.
