How to breed

Suitable cutting medium

The propagation of antler Begonia is mainly based on cutting. The cutting matrix needs to have good performance, not only good drainage function and air permeability, but also good function of maintaining water and air. For example, perlite, peat ash, vermiculite and furnace ash can be used together. But it must be disinfected before use. At the same time, an appropriate amount of plant material rich in corrosive nutrients needs to be laid under the substrate, and it is best to use plant material with larger particles at the bottom of the substrate to lay the drainage layer

Maintain air humidity

After cutting, we must avoid the sudden decline of air relative humidity. It is best to keep it above 70%, especially before rooting. It is recommended to keep the air relative humidity at 90%

Proper lighting

After cutting, the light should not be too much or too little, otherwise it will affect the growth of adventitious roots and the insufficient supply of nutrients. It's best to put it in a cool place with astigmatism. Avoid direct sunlight and complete darkness

Suitable temperature

The most suitable temperature for antler Begonia cutting is between 20 and 35 degrees, which can reduce the harm caused by rotten bacteria. Moreover, the temperature change in the morning and evening is easier to take root than that at constant temperature

Maintenance management

The protection details of antler Begonia after cutting, summarized above, is to select the appropriate temperature and substrate, maintain high air relative humidity and avoid direct sunlight. Once hyphae are found in the substrate, spray with bactericide in time. Remember, don't move or touch because you are in a hurry
