Principle of sponge cutting

From the characteristics of the sponge, the sponge absorbs water and can preserve water. There are many voids inside it. Even after soaking in water, there can be enough space to meet the entry of oxygen. Therefore, sponge has good water retention and air permeability. Thus, good air permeability can be maintained

From these two points of view, sponge can promote the rooting of branches and prevent branches from rotting during cutting

Green pineapple uses sponge cutting

Preparation materials:

The effect of soilless cultivation medium with sponge texture will be better. If not, ordinary sponge can also be used

The cuttings with healthy stems

Sharp scissors

Tweezers, containers and clean water.  

Steps of green pineapple cutting:

1. Soak the sponge in water for about half an hour to fully absorb water

2. Cut off a section of branches of green pineapple that grow healthily and have no diseases and pests. Note that the cuts of scissors and branches need to be disinfected, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of green pineapple cutting

3. Poke a few holes in the sponge, and then insert the branches of green pineapple into the sponge with tweezers. The general depth is about 2 ~ 3cm

4. The green pineapple after cutting can be placed in a ventilated and shaded place to wait for its rooting. Pay attention not to apply fertilizer, keep it moist, and spray water on the leaf every two weeks if necessary

5. Generally, after cutting for 3 ~ 4 weeks, the bottom of the sponge will be covered with white small fibrous roots, which shows that the cutting of green rose is successful. After it takes root, it can be transplanted after being cultured in water for a week< span>
