Overview

The general steps of cutting are the same as other steps, which is the same as configuring the soil suitable for plant growth, selecting the best time for cutting, cutting the cuttings, inserting them into the soil and taking care of them carefully. What we want to emphasize today is what we should pay attention to when cutting pearl Chlorophytum and what we need to pay attention to when preparing basin soil

Preparation of soil

The soil preparation of Chlorophytum odoratum is different from that of other plants. In addition to the basic loose and breathable soil, it also needs to be fertile, because the root system of Chlorophytum odoratum is relatively shallow and the ability to compete for nutrients is not strong. The best choice is humus soil. Garden soil and river sand are mixed evenly in the ratio of 2:5:3. If possible, the soil is sterilized and disinfected, which can remove the seeds of weeds in the soil, On the other hand, it can also remove the insect eggs in the soil and improve the survival rate of Pearl Chlorophytum after cutting

Selection and saving of inserts

The selection method of cuttings of Chlorophytum is to cut from the strong mother branch. Generally, the length of one cuttings is between five and seven centimeters. In addition, two to three young buds can be maintained in each cuttings. On the one hand, it is to maintain water and on the other hand, it is to improve the survival rate after cuttings. The cuttings are generally cut after the soil is prepared, After cutting, it is directly inserted into the prepared soil. However, if the cuttings are cut off before reconstituting the soil, the cuttings shall be kept fresh, wrapped with plastic wrap and stored in a cool place

Precautions

The last step of cutting is also a very important step. It should be noted that the cuttings should be inserted into one-third of the soil, not more than two-thirds of the whole cuttings, so as to avoid the failure of Pearl Chlorophytum to take root
