Choice of time

Generally, plants will choose spring to reproduce, because this time is more suitable for rooting regardless of temperature or other conditions. This alligator flower is no exception, but its main method is cutting. This method is not only relatively simple, but also has a high probability of survival

Preparation of cuttings

Choose more robust branches, because in this way, the survival ability is relatively high, and the ability to absorb water and nutrition is relatively strong, so try not to choose tender branches. After selecting the branches, pay attention to the 45 ° incision at the cutting part, which can expand the contact area between the branches and the substrate and better absorb nutrients and water

Cutting process

After cutting, soak it in rooting water for 5 minutes, then insert it obliquely in the prepared matrix, and insert 2 / 3 of the length. It should be emphasized here that it is best to mix a certain amount of fertilizer in the matrix, which can not only help them take root, but also make them develop better when they first grow, so that the whole cutting can be completed

Curing after cutting

When it is just inserted, it must be filled with sufficient water, so as to make the perfect combination of cuttings and branches, and ensure the water needed for its initial growth. At the same time, the cuttings should be shaded to a certain extent, so that they will not be sunburned in the initial growth period because of the strong sun. When the roots are stable, this degree can be reduced slowly. After the roots are stable, they can be transplanted
