How long does it take for the cuttings of Bear's Paw to take root?

Generally, if the environment is good (the environment here refers to suitable temperature, high humidity, and mild sunlight), roots will emerge 1 to 2 weeks after cuttings. Because of differences in the environment, in some areas it may take more than 20 days for roots to grow, or even no roots at all. This situation is very common.

The specific time can be determined according to the health of the branches and leaves. If there is no rooting after more than 20 days, but there is no change in the leaves, you can continue to wait and increase the humidity. If the leaves have obviously rotted and turned into water, it means that the soil and environment are too humid and the cuttings have failed.

How to judge whether the bear's paw has taken root without digging the soil

Before cutting Bear's Paw, dry the branches in a cool place for 2 to 3 days, and then insert them into the soil after the wounds are completely dry.

The leaves of newly planted branches are plump and shiny, but after a while, the leaves will become drab and dull, which is normal. Keep waiting until the day when you suddenly find that the leaves become watery and shiny again, congratulations, the little bear has taken root and will soon grow new leaves.

If the bear's paw does not grow roots, you need to reflect on the following: first, the soil is not good; second, the leaves are buried too deep; third, you water it too much; and fourth, the temperature is not suitable (15~25℃).

The method of judging whether the Bear's Paw has roots by looking at its leaves is not 100% accurate, but it can be used to judge the growth status of the plant. Generally, when it reaches the status described by flower lovers, it is certain that the Bear's Paw has roots. This is all I have to say about how long it will take for Bear's Paw cuttings to take root and how to tell if it has taken root without digging up the soil.
