The suitable season for cutting pitaya is spring, usually the temperature at this time will be very stable, and the plant growth is also very vigorous.At this time, the cutting speed and rooting rate of strong stems and branches cut from the mother plant are very high.In addition, autumn can also be carried out, but to ensure that the temperature will not change too much.
In the cuttage of pitaya, is to be divided into positive and negative, there is a cut side to the bottom.Only when the cutting is in full contact with the soil can it grow new roots.If the top of the stem branch is not cut down, it will not root basically.
1. Disinfection: Before cutting, the substrate prepared in advance should be disinfected, because it is easy to breed pathogens 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 to smear plant ash on the incision.
2. Watering: After the cuttage work is completed, it is not necessary to water it first. It takes almost 10 days to water it.Before it has not grown new roots, it is best to put it in the shade of air circulation, its rooting speed is very fast, generally less than a month can grow roots.
