What kind of cuttings do you choose

Cuttings are the branches inserted into the soil. The lignified and robust branches of one year should be selected, which are easier to take root and survive than the newborn branches. Pay attention to the signs of diseases and pests on the cuttings

The branches after flowering are more suitable for cutting. They have high nutritional content and can take root and sprout faster. It is best to cut cuttings in the early morning, because the moisture content of cuttings in the early morning is higher and the wound recovers faster

Cuttings retain 3-4 leaves

The length of the cuttings is preferably 10-15 cm. The leaves at the lower part of the cuttings can be removed and 3-4 leaves at the upper part should be retained, which can reduce water evaporation and be more conducive to survival

Pay attention to disinfection and sterilization during operation

In order to prevent the invasion of bacteria, disinfect every link of cutting as much as possible. For example, the scissors for cutting branches should be burned or wiped and disinfected with alcohol, the soil should be exposed to sterilization in advance, and the flower pots or plastic bottles used for cutting should also be kept clean

The soil should be breathable

The branches of some Huayou cuttings are rotten, probably because the soil permeability is too poor. It is recommended that you use clean river sand for cuttings. The river sand has good water permeability and air permeability, which can avoid branch decay

Use rooting agent to speed up rooting

Some flower friends said that their cutting peanut roots are so slow that they haven't taken root for a month. This may be because the selected flowers take root very slowly. At this time, you can soak the branches in the rooting agent first, which can greatly shorten the rooting time

Shading is conducive to rooting

Black plastic bags or black paper are used to shade the cuttings. The branches cannot carry out photosynthesis, so that the branches slowly turn yellow, which can enhance the thickness of the branch epidermis, improve the branch resistance and improve the survival rate

Raise the temperature

When cutting branches, many experienced florists will appropriately raise the temperature to speed up the rooting speed, especially where the temperature is still relatively low in early spring. Some florists will put the cutting pine seedlings into the pot and heat them slightly

Spray the mother plant with rooting agent in advance

Before cutting cuttings, spray the mother plant with rooting agent three days in advance. After being absorbed by the newly grown buds and bark, the budding power of the branches will be greatly improved. At this time, the branches will be cut again, and the rooting speed will be accelerated

Cuttings rooting

The vines of some flowers are slender, such as clematis, triangle plum and other flowers. You can first press a section of branches with soil to promote rooting, and then cut them down and plant them in the flower pot after the root system grows, so that the survival rate will be greatly improved

Cutting is not difficult

I wonder if the cuttings of flower friends have taken root

I think what Huahua said is useful

Just share it with others
