Time

The cutting propagation of Tradescantia is mostly carried out from April to June every year, but the cutting propagation of Tradescantia is best carried out in autumn, which has many advantages

The cutting of Tradescantia in autumn is easy to survive and grows rapidly. And because the growing stem is not high and the leaves are vigorous, it is convenient for Tradescantia to grow in winter. In this way, the cutting Tradescantia will bloom more and more in the coming year, which is very beautiful

Method

Preparation before cutting

The cutting of Tradescantia usually adopts the healthy and disease-free stem tip as the breeding material. The stem is cut into a section 6 ~ 8 cm long, with more than three leaves in each section. The young branches at the top can also be used as cuttings. Fine sand can be used as propagation substrate for cutting of Tradescantia. Choose the appropriate culture equipment, flowerpot or seedling bed

Cutting operation

Insert the Prunus of Tradescantia obliquely into the flowerpot containing fine sand, insert the Prunus into the soil for half, and take root after half a month

After cutting, the Tradescantia should be watered for moisturizing every day. The air humidity should not be too low. It should be maintained in a cool place at ordinary times, and topdressing should be carried out once every 20-30 days. In this way, Tradescantia can reproduce rapidly

When the roots of purple grass are planted in the open, they can be transplanted

Maintenance

Keep moisture

After cutting, pay attention to watering and keep the basin soil moist at ordinary times. The pot soil cannot be too dry. If it is too dry, the Tradescantia will have fewer leaves, the stems will be too long, and the leaves will be weak. In addition, it is also necessary to spray water on the leaf surface frequently to maintain sufficient water

Rational fertilization

The demand of Tradescantia for fertilizer is relatively large. If more fertilizer is applied, it will grow vigorously, with many long leaves and hypertrophic leaves. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently to meet the growth demand of Tradescantia
