Cutting reason 1: cutting propagation is not difficult at all

Cutting at home is not difficult at all. As long as you know how to select branches and choose the appropriate season, it is not difficult to change one pot into more pots

Generally speaking, it is very suitable for cutting from spring to early summer. From spring rain to plum rain, the environmental humidity is high, and the water in the branches will not volatilize too fast. In addition, the temperature in spring is also conducive to the growth of adventitious roots. As for autumn and winter, as long as we use tools and put on plastic bags to ensure sufficient temperature and humidity, there is no problem in rooting, but the rooting time is slower than that in spring

Cutting reason 2: you don't have to wait to enjoy the flowers

The seedlings of cutting have no seedling stage and bloom earlier, which is also one of the advantages of cutting and other propagation methods. For example, the seedlings sown by woody plants need 3 ~ 8 years to wait for the plants to mature and then bloom slowly; For the seedlings obtained by cutting propagation, the branches of the mother plant that will bloom are selected. After survival, they can bloom as long as they have sufficient nutrients

Cutting reason 3: make backup

The biggest advantage of cutting propagation is that it can completely copy the characteristics of the mother plant without variation and completely preserve the advantages of the mother plant

Except for some varieties, such as tiger tailed orchid and African pansy, the variegated varieties may lose the nature of variegated leaves and grow full-leaf varieties through leaf cutting propagation. In this case, pedicel cutting can be used, which will promote the growth of lateral buds and may maintain its original characteristics

Cutting reason 4: big battle to save money

Common small potted plants for leaf observation, such as Pueraria lobata, white reticulated grass and capsicum, are propagated in large quantities by cutting. If you have such a basin in your home, cutting can save a small expense for home greening. Only a few branches from friends are a pot of green plants. You can plant sweet potato leaves, water spinach and red wind vegetables on the balcony due to frostbite, which can also play a decorative role
