1、 Matrix selection

If you want to do well in cutting propagation, you must first select the substrate. When cutting it, it is usually made of nutrient soil, river sand and peat soil. But sometimes when cutting in the family, this ideal matrix is difficult to match. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to use some medium coarse river sand, but it can be used for cutting by washing it with clean water several times before use

2、 Insert selection

When choosing cuttings, we usually cut the stems into sections, with a length of about 5 to 8 cm. And when cutting, make each section with more than three leaf nodes. In addition, in addition to cutting into small segments, the top tip can also be used as a cutting strip, which is also easy to survive

3、 Cutting method

After the cuttings are ready, we can insert them into the matrix. When inserting, don't be too deep. Just insert them in a shallow way, which is also conducive to survival, and then we can carry out normal maintenance

4、 Later maintenance

1. Temperature

It is most likely to take root when the temperature is 18 to 25 degrees. If it is lower than 18 degrees, it will make the cuttings grow very slowly. Similarly, it cannot be higher than 25 degrees. If it is higher than this temperature, the cutting edge of the insert may be infected and rot. the higher the temperature, the worse the rot will be. So try to control the temperature within this range

2. Humidity

After cutting, it is necessary to create a suitable humidity environment for cuttings. Generally, the humidity between 75% and 85% is the most appropriate. If we do not reach this range, we can spray it to increase the humidity, 1 to 3 times a day. If it is sunny, the number of times can be relatively more. If it is cloudy and rainy or when the temperature is low, it can be sprayed less

3. Illumination

Cutting propagation should not have a small amount of light, but the light should not be too strong, because if it is too strong, the temperature in the cuttings will rise and the water consumption will be fast, which will be detrimental to the life of cuttings. So we should properly block out part of the sun

4. Upper basin

When the cuttings take root, we will put pots on them, so that they can grow stronger. Wait until the pot, you can't be careless. You must maintain the temperature and humidity, so that it can grow into a plant as soon as possible
