Cactus cutting method

Cactus cutting method

1. Cutting time

If you want to propagate cactus, it is best to do it in spring or autumn when the temperature is between 20-25℃. This can greatly shorten the time needed for it to take root and is more conducive to its survival. However, if the cuttings and subsequent maintenance can be done in a relatively warm room indoors, then cuttings can be taken at all times of the year.

2. Cutting method

1. Take cuttings: Cut a section of well-grown stems and leaves from the plant as cuttings. After cutting, put it in disinfectant for 20-30 minutes to disinfect it, and then put it in a semi-shaded place for about 10 days. Wait until the cut end is completely dry before it can be used for cuttings. This can prevent pathogens from invading the plant through the cut and causing it to become sick.

2. Carry out cuttings: prepare some loose flower soil and put it in the flowerpot. Then stick the cutting into the soil so that about half of its length is submerged. After planting, compact the soil and water it once to moisten the soil. Then put it in a location with a temperature between 20-25℃, good ventilation and relatively soft light, and wait for about 7 days for it to take root.
