1、 Cutting season

The season suitable for cutting pitaya is spring. Usually, the temperature will be very stable at this time, and the plant growth is also very vigorous. At this time, strong stems and cuttings are cut from the mother plant, and its rooting speed and rooting rate are very high. In addition, autumn can also be carried out, but it is necessary to ensure that the temperature will not change much

2、 Are there pros and cons

When cutting pitaya, it is necessary to divide the positive and negative, and the cut side should be downward. Only when the cuttings are in full contact with the soil can they grow new roots. If the side of the top of the stem without incision is downward, it will basically not take root

3、 Cutting precautions

1. Disinfection: before cutting, the substrate prepared in advance should be disinfected, because bacteria are easy to breed in the soil, so it is very important to do a good job of disinfection. There is also the use of potassium permanganate to disinfect stems and branches, or apply plant ash to the incision

2. Watering: after the cutting work is completed, you can wait for almost 10 days before watering it. Before it grows new roots, it's best to put it in a cool place with air circulation. Its rooting speed is very fast. Generally, it can grow roots in less than a month
