The secret of success

1 requirements for media

Branches are used for cutting. First of all, we must pay attention to the selection of substrate and choose a clean and fertilizer free medium, so that the cutting wound will not be infected by bacteria. In addition, the cutting matrix must be breathable and permeable, such as perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc., which are good cutting materials. Many flower friends do not pay attention to the choice of substrate. The cuttings are infected and rotten by bacteria in a few days. How can they grow new roots again

2 use clean and sharp blades

Try not to choose scissors when cutting cuttings. Scissors are easy to crush the phloem when cutting cuttings, resulting in bacterial infection. In addition, when cutting cuttings with a blade, disinfect them with alcohol first, and then bake them with fire, so as to avoid the injury of tissues around the wound and infection with bacteria

3. Choose strong and plump branches

When selecting cuttings, you must be strong and free from diseases and pests. Only when the branches facing the sun grow well can the survival rate be high

The secret of leaf transplanting success

1. The incision shall be dried before cutting

The leaves suitable for leaf cutting are generally thick, juicy and have large wounds. When cutting, do not rush to insert the cuttings into the matrix. First put the leaves in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a period of time, and then cut after the wound is dried, so as to prevent the leaves from being infected with bacteria and rotting

2 pay attention to moisturizing

Due to the poor water holding capacity of the leaves, we must pay attention to maintaining air humidity. After cutting, we can cover the flowerpot with plastic bags or other covers

3 selection of leaves

The newly grown leaves are too tender, the nutrient content is not high, and the vitality of too old leaves is not strong, so try to choose mature and robust leaves. Don't leave too long petioles, which are easy to rot and affect the absorption of nutrients
