Rapid rooting method of cuttings of Tiger Pilan

1. Cut the leaves

The first step in cuttings is to choose the right leaves. Choose some thicker leaves so that they are easier to root. Cut the leaves into 5 cm long sections and place them in a cool place to dry for a few days until the leaves curl slightly.

2. Pot soil preparation

Suitable soil can also make the snake plant take root faster. It is better to choose sandy soil with good drainage. If the soil is too sticky, it will be difficult for it to take root. In addition, you can put broken tiles and coarse sand at the bottom of the pot to enhance its drainage ability.

3. Take cuttings

The time for cuttings is not very critical, as long as it is not winter. Apply rooting powder on the bottom of the dried leaves, then insert them into the potting soil at a depth of about 3-4 cm. Be careful not to insert it upside down, otherwise it will not survive. Water it once after cutting and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

4. Subsequent maintenance

Good maintenance can help it recover faster. The ambient temperature should be kept between 15-25℃. Do not water too much at normal times. Just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Do not allow water to accumulate. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer at this time to avoid damage to the bottom caused by fertilizer. It will generally take about a month to take root.
