1. There are diseases and insect pests in the soil, which are not disinfected

Main reasons:

When cutting, many flower friends directly use the previous soil to save money. In particular, the soil has raised flowers with diseases and pests before, which will lead to some bacteria in the soil. When cutting, it is easy to infect the cuttings, so it is impossible to survive cutting

Solution:

Be sure to use clean soil for cutting. Before cutting, it is best to expose the soil to the sun, or heat it in a microwave oven for a few minutes for sterilization and disinfection before use

2. Cuttings are unhealthy

Main reasons:

We usually cut off some thin branches when pruning. Many flower friends think that cutting is better than cutting anyway. But Huahua thinks that these branches themselves are malnourished. Even if they are used for cutting, there is not much nutrition for the next root to germinate. Naturally, cutting does not survive

Solution:

If you want a high survival rate of cutting, you must choose strong and full branches. Such branches contain very rich nutrition, which can provide sufficient nutrients for rooting and greatly improve the survival rate of cutting

3. The insert has been placed too long

Main reasons:

Sometimes when we cut down the branches, we don't have time for cutting that day, or we cut a branch when we go out to play, and then take it home for cutting, it has been several days, which will lead to the evaporation of water in the cuttings, affect the activity of cuttings, and the cuttings are easy to fail

Solution:

1. It's best to cut the cuttings before the sun comes out in the morning. Don't choose noon to avoid water evaporation

2. If the cut cuttings cannot be cut immediately, trim the leaves on the cuttings, then roll the cuttings with wet paper and put them in plastic bags or fresh-keeping bags, but try not to delay too long

4. Cutting blade not trimmed

Main reasons:

If the cuttings have more leaves, they can carry out photosynthesis to produce nutrients, which is very helpful for the rooting and survival of cuttings; However, more leaves will also lead to faster water evaporation, making the cuttings dry. Therefore, it is particularly important to trim the leaves on the cuttings

Solution:

1. If it is a flower with large leaves, it is recommended to cut the leaves in half to reduce the evaporation of water

2. If it is a flower with thick stems and more water content, all the leaves can be cut off directly

3. If you really don't want to trim the leaves, you can often moisturize the cuttings. You can spray water on the cuttings regularly with a small watering can to reduce water evaporation; Or put a plastic bag on the insert, which can also achieve the purpose of moisturizing

5. Insert without node

Main reasons:

Generally, the new buds of cuttings germinate from the nodes of branches, so when selecting cuttings, it is generally required to take 1-2 nodes on the cuttings. If the cut cuttings are between the two nodes without any nodes, it is basically impossible to take root and sprout

Solution:

Don't care if the cuttings are too long or too short. As long as there are nodes on the cuttings, they can naturally take root and sprout, so we must pay attention to cutting

6. Cuttings not disinfected

Main reasons:

If the cuttings trimmed are not disinfected before cutting, it is easy to cause black rot and rot of cuttings, and the cuttings will not survive naturally

Solution:

No matter what plants are being cut, the cuttings must be soaked in carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution for 10-30 minutes before cutting, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilization and disinfection, so as to improve the survival rate of cutting

7. New buds grow too fast

Main reasons:

When you find that the cuttings have new buds, don't be happy too early, because only after taking root can they really survive. Sometimes new buds sprout too fast and consume a lot of water. If the root system does not grow well at this time, it is easy to lack water and lead to cutting failure

Solution:

When the temperature is high, especially in summer, it is easy to happen when cutting. Therefore, when the temperature is particularly high, it is best not to carry out cutting operation. Wait until the weather is cool in spring and autumn, or break it off when new buds appear

8. The cutting season is wrong

Main reasons:

Longevity flower and crab claw orchid will enter the dormancy period when it is hot in summer. This time is not suitable for cutting these flowers. Even if cutting, the survival rate is very low

Solution:

1. When cutting, we must select the appropriate season for cutting according to the cutting plants, and distinguish the dormant plants in summer from those in winter

2. If you are cutting indoors, you can guarantee the temperature of 10-22 ℃. If you are cutting outdoors, you should pay attention to the season

9. Pull out the insert at will

Main reasons:

After cutting, we always hope that the cuttings can take root quickly, so sometimes we often can't help pulling out the cuttings to see if they take root. Doing so is particularly easy to cause damage to the healing tissue and weak young roots, resulting in cutting failure

Solution:

After cutting, as long as the cuttings are not dry and rotten, it proves that the cuttings are still alive. It may take a long time for cuttings to take root. Be patient and don't pull out the cuttings casually

10. Too much water after cutting

Main reasons:

After cuttings, just keep the soil moist before rooting. If you water more, the cuttings will always be in a state of more water, which will easily lead to cuttings decay

Solution:

After cutting the branches, pour water once and put them in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. When it is found that the basin soil is dry, spray water into the cuttings and soil with a watering can to ensure proper watering. Don't pour too much water
