Management after cutting

Temperature

The suitable temperature for rooting is between 18 ℃ and 25 ℃. Under low temperature, the flowerpot used for cutting can be wrapped with film for heat preservation; At high temperature, shading and shading should be paid attention to, and spraying 3-5 times per day. p>

Illumination

After cutting, you must cover 50-80% of the sunlight. After the root system grows, you can gradually remove the shading net

Humidity

The roots should be separated from the fertilizer to avoid burning the roots

Transplanting

Pick the heart

Pick the heart twice before flowering to promote the flowering branches. After one or two weeks in the pot, or when the seedling is up to 6-10 cm high and has more than six leaves, remove the top tip and retain the lower 3-4 leaves. The second pinching time is generally 3-5 weeks after the first pinching, or when the length of the lateral branch reaches 6-8 cm, the top tip of the lateral branch can be removed and the four leaves under the lateral branch can be retained< span>
