How to propagate green radish by cuttings

1. Time

As long as the temperature is above 15 degrees, you can do cuttings. The best time is April to August at the turn of spring and summer. At this time, the temperature is very stable and the humidity can be guaranteed, which is conducive to rooting and subsequent growth development.

2. Methods

Soil culture and hydroponics are both methods of cutting. Soil culture can ensure lush branches and leaves, while hydroponics is simple and can be selected according to the situation.

1. Soil culture: Prepare the cultivation medium, which should be breathable and well-drained to facilitate rooting. Cut off a well-growing branch, keep the leaves at the top, and insert it into the substrate, not too deep. After completion, spray water frequently to keep it moist, gradually expose it to scattered light, and avoid direct exposure to the sun. Wait for a while and it will take root.

2. Hydroponics: First prepare a transparent glass container and fill it with tap water that has been left for a few days. Cut branches and insert them, preferably with aerial roots on them. The leaves at the lower end can be removed to reduce water evaporation, and the water level does not need to be too high. At the beginning, you can change the water more frequently, once every two days. After the root system grows stably, the interval can be changed to about five days, and nutrient solution can be applied at the same time.
