Use these things to cut

Bottom sand of 1 fish tank

1. The bottom sand often laid in the fish tank is actually a good material for cutting. It is inorganic and can effectively prevent rotten roots during cutting

2. After repeatedly cleaning the bottom sand for several times, pour in potassium permanganate solution for disinfection. The solution should not exceed the bottom sand, the concentration does not need to be too high, and the color can turn purple red

3. Prepare cuttings. Cuttings should be healthy. It is best to remove a few leaves, reduce transpiration and nutrient consumption, and shorten rooting time

4. Insert the branches into the bottom sand, not to the bottom. Leave a certain space at the bottom of the branches for rooting and ventilation

5. Put the cutting box in a cool and ventilated place, and you basically don't have to take care of it. When the water is dry, the roots will come out

6. This method is to use water first to ensure the activity of branches. When the water decreases slowly, there can be a wet matrix to promote rooting. After the water is dry, the root system is basically adapted to native soil. After being put into the pot, the survival rate is high, which can be called the most perfect lazy cutting method

2 vermiculite

1. Prepare a disposable plastic cup and drill several permeable holes with scissors at the bottom

2. Select clean vermiculite, wash it with water, soak it in carbendazim solution for half an hour, and disinfect it

3. Select healthy rose branches (or other branches to be cut), preferably after flowering. Cut the leaves from the third branch with a sharp knife, and then cut them from the best position

4. Put vermiculite into the disposable cup, simply treat the branches, cut off the flower stems, and leave small branches with leaves for cutting

5. Insert branches into vermiculite and water until the water flows out of the permeable hole under the plastic cup

6. Find a small tray, put the cutting plastic cup, add water in the tray, and the water should not exceed the bottom of the plastic cup

7. Move the tray to a place with astigmatism and ventilation. Be sure to ensure ventilation. Roots will grow in about half a month to a month. Vermiculite is permeable and breathable. The water in the tray can increase the humidity nearby and improve the rooting rate

Most importantly, you don't need to water every day with this method. When the vermiculite is dry, it will absorb water into the tray by itself

3 sponge

1. Sponge is a kind of material with good water retention. Whether it is used for cutting or sowing, it can improve the survival rate

2. Prepare the sponge, let it absorb enough water, and then insert the cut cuttings into the sponge. Don't insert them too deep, about 1-2cm

3. Put the sponge block into a plastic container and spray water on it when you feel it dry. You can also directly put the sponge in a shallow water tray. When the sponge is dry, it will absorb water by itself

4. Put the sponge in a bright and ventilated place for about 1-2 weeks, and the cuttings will take root. When putting the sponge into the basin, pay attention not to take down the sponge, but directly put it into the basin together, so as not to hurt the root. Slowly, the sponge will decompose itself

5. In addition, flower mud can also replace sponge, and the effect will be better

4 water moss

1. Water moss has good water retention and is especially suitable for the rooting of fleshy roots such as Clivia and orchid. Here, take the rooting of Clivia after ramet as an example

2. Soak the rootless Clivia bulbs in carbendazim solution for half an hour, and then dry them in a cool and ventilated place

3. Wet the dry water moss, wrap it around the root of Clivia, and put it into the flowerpot together

4. Move the flowerpot to a cool and ventilated place, and spray water when the water moss is dry. In less than a month, Clivia can root

5 coal cinder

1. After large pieces of honeycomb briquette are picked up, soak them in water for a day, remove the fire and gas, smash them with force, and then water them twice

2. The crushed cinders should be screened, and those too small should be discarded. About 1-2 cm can be used for rooting, and large pieces of cinders can be used to pad the bottom of the basin

3. Put the screened cinder into the flowerpot and wet it with water

4. Insert the prepared branches into the cinder. The branches should be disinfected and dried before inserting

5. Put the cutting flowerpot in a cool and ventilated place and take root in about 10 days. Pay attention to sprinkle water on the cinder once in 2-3 days

6. Because charcoal is relatively clean and antiseptic, it is actually a better cutting medium than cinder. If there is charcoal in the flower friends' home, it can be used to replace cinder

6 sawdust

1. The sawdust shall be clean and log sawdust. Wood chips such as antiseptic wood cannot be used for rooting because they are mixed with other additives

2. Put a layer of sawdust on the bottom of the flowerpot (clean sawdust can also be used), then put the flowers and plants to be rooted into the flowerpot, and slowly fill the flowerpot with sawdust

3. Water thoroughly, and then put the flowerpot in a cool and ventilated place. Sprinkle water on the sawdust once every 3-4 days. The watering time must not be at noon. It's best to put it before the weather gets hot in the morning and evening

This should be done before cutting

1. Cuttings shall be chamfered at 45 °

The cuttings are obliquely cut at a 45 degree angle, which can increase the rooting area and improve the rooting rate

2. Cuttings should be disinfected

It is best to disinfect the cuttings and cutting matrix, so that the cuttings will not become diseased and can grow healthy roots. Disinfection can be soaked in carbendazim solution or potassium permanganate solution

3. The rooting rate was higher after girdling

Girdling (cutting off a layer of skin on the surface of the branch) can hinder the up and down nutrition transportation of the branch, and concentrate the nutrition on the position where the girdling is removed. Cutting the branch after 3 days of girdling can improve the rooting rate

4. The rooting rate of cutting with heel is higher

When cutting roses, camellia, osmanthus and other flowers and trees, you can bring some last year's branches at the bottom of the cuttings, which is easier to take root

5. Cutting after yellowing treatment

Darkness can improve the activity of root meristem of flowers and plants. Before cutting, cover the branches with black plastic bags for about 20 days, and then cut the cuttings. The rooting rate is higher

6. Soak in water before cutting

Cutting cuttings after soaking in water for a few days can improve the activity of branches and roots and improve the rooting rate

7 dip in rooting powder before cutting

The rooting rate can be improved by dissolving the rooting powder in water in the ratio of 1:50 and soaking the cuttings in it for half an hour

8 cutting after soaking in aspirin solution

Aspirin tablets contain salicylic acid, which is a sharp tool to promote the rooting of flowers and plants. Crushing the aspirin solution, dissolving it in water according to the ratio of 1:1000, and cutting the branches after soaking in water for half a day can improve the survival rate

9. Cutting after soaking wicker extract

The growth hormone contained in willow bark can greatly improve the success rate of flower and grass cutting. Smash the willow branches and soak them in water for half a month, and then they can be used. When cutting, soak the cuttings in wicker extract for half an hour, and then cutting can improve the rooting rate
