1、 Leaves grow in a few days

After cutting, it will germinate in two weeks, and new leaves will grow at that time. It should be noted that if the temperature is relatively low, the time of germination and long leaves will also be delayed, because the plant is not suitable to grow in cold places. It is necessary to keep warm to avoid freezing

2、 Cutting method

1. Cutting time: the cutting time of Pennisetum is mostly in spring and autumn, and the temperature in spring is appropriate, which is conducive to the growth and development of plants. If you can take root and sprout in autumn, you need to keep warm in the face of the cold winter. As for summer and winter, due to climate reasons, it is not suitable for cutting, and the survival rate is not high

2. Cuttings treatment: select the plant with vigorous growth and no diseases and insect pests, cut part of the stem from it, keep the top leaves, and remove the others. Usually, the length of cutting is between 3-5cm, and there are at least three sections on it. If the cuttings are too long, they need more nutrients to take root. If they are too short, they contain insufficient nutrients

3. Cutting: prepare a clean container and add an appropriate amount of water, usually tap water placed for more than 2 days. Then soak the cuttings in water to promote its rooting. You can put the container in a bright place, but it can't be exposed to the sun. You should also clean up the rotten leaves in time

4. Follow up maintenance: after cutting and rooting, an appropriate amount of nutrient solution can be added to the water to promote its growth and development. In addition, the plant needs to be placed upright in the container and fixed with pebbles to prevent the plant from falling down

3、 Can the leaves be inserted alive

If there is only one leaf, Pennisetum cannot be inserted alive. There must be a stem on the leaf in order to take root and sprout
