How to propagate the branches of green radish and how to cut the aerial roots of cuttings

1. Branch cuttings

1. Potting soil: First prepare the maintenance substrate, choose a flower pot with holes at the bottom, fill it with nutrient soil about two-thirds of the depth of the flower pot, and set it aside for use.

2. Branches: Select a plant that appears to be growing vigorously, and use sterilized scissors to cut off a few branches with better growth. Be careful that the branches you cut must not be diseased or dead. Afterwards, prune these branches slightly, leaving one leaf on each stem.

3. Insert these branches evenly into the soil. The depth should not be too deep or too shallow. Make sure the stems are buried in the soil and some leaves are left outside. Then sprinkle a few grains of special flower fertilizer on it to provide nutrients, then spread a layer of nutrient soil on it and smooth it with your hands.

4. After completing these steps, water it thoroughly and then move it to a cool place.

2. How to cut aerial roots

Aerial roots help the plant absorb moisture from the air and help the branches and leaves breathe. When taking cuttings, the aerial roots must never be cut off completely. When cutting, if you notice a black protrusion on the petiole on the stem, this part needs to be kept, and the rest can be cut off.
