Generally, do not worry about fertilizing after repotting Gypsophila paniculata, and then fertilize after the success of seedling recovery. If fertilization is applied when the seedlings are not yet recovered, it is easy to burn out the root system. If yellow leaves appear after repotting, find out the reason first, and if the fertilizer is heavy, take the plant out and soak the roots with water first. If it is caused by water shortage, it needs to be watered thoroughly to moisturize.

1. Cutting time

Its cuttage does not have high requirements for the environment, and it can be carried out in four seasons.But it is more recommended to do it in spring or autumn.At this time is the peak season of growth, rooting speed will be faster, survival rate will be higher.

2. Selecting Cuttings

Cuttings determine the survival rate, to choose the year of growth, no diseases and insect pests.If the old branches are strong, the germination ability will be weaker, the rooting speed will be slow and may not be able to root.

3. Treatment of Cuttings

Cuttings should be handled in time after selection, and the length should be controlled between 10-15 cm, and 2-3 sections should be better.Cut off the lower leaves and leave the upper two.The bottom should be soaked in rooting water for two hours.

4. Soil Preparation

The substrate for cuttage must be loose and breathable, and can be prepared by oneself.Mix a proper amount of sandy soil, garden soil and humus soil, and then mix a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer, so that the nutrients are sufficient, which is more conducive to rooting and later growth.

5. Cutting soil

Cuttings and soil are ready for cuttage.The method is very simple.First, use chopsticks to poke a small hole in the surface of the soil, and then put the cutting in, paying attention to the depth.Cuttings into the soil half on the line, not too deep.Gently compact the surrounding soil after planting.

6. Management after insertion

After cutting, water thoroughly as soon as possible to make the soil moist.Be careful to put it in a place without light, and don't rush to bask in the sun.And ensure good ventilation, so that a week later began to slowly grow roots, half a month later moved to the outdoor for normal maintenance on the line.
