The matrix of cutting is preferably loose, fertile and well drained acidic soil, vermiculite, or general garden soil and pond mud

Cuttings need to be selected from the annual robust Bermuda, preferably a healthy mother plant with good growth and no diseases and pests

After the cuttings are dried, they are directly inserted into the prepared matrix, then watered once to maintain the humidity and temperature of the surrounding air, and the cuttings are placed in a cool place

Maintenance of dog tooth cuttings after cutting

At ordinary times, the soil should be kept moist. It is advisable to water it before it is dry. In summer, water should be sprayed around frequently to increase the air humidity of the environment

The management of fertilizer and water cultivation is extensive. Generally, fertilizer can be applied once a month. After the normal growth of cuttings, compound fertilizer and fecal fertilizer and water will be applied alternately every 7-10 days from May to September

The temperature around the cuttings shall be controlled above 10 ℃ and not lower than 0 ℃

After the cuttings are planted, they will be transferred to a sunny place for maintenance. However, in summer, the temperature is too high and the sun is too strong, so it is necessary to shade the dog tooth flower for maintenance
