Fleshy cuttings are usually taken in spring or autumn.These two seasons are its growth period, and cuttings have a higher survival rate.In summer, when the temperature is high, the plant enters a dormant state, cutting cuttings easily affects the recovery of the original plant, and cuttings are also easy to rot.Low temperature in winter will also make plants dormant, and it is difficult to take root after cutting.
The selection of cuttings varied with the position of cuttings.More common is leaf cutting, cut a full leaf, put it in a ventilated place to dry, until the wound is dry, you can cut.For some branches can be inserted fleshy method is almost the same, cut about 10 cm of branches, the same to wait until the wound dried.
Pot soil should be prepared before cuttage. Generally, humus soil and cinder should be used in the soil, and the ratio of the two is about 6:4, so as to ensure good drainage.In order to keep the cuttings from being eroded by bacteria during their growth, it is necessary to disinfect the potting soil, lay it flat in the sun and expose it to the sun, and eliminate the bacteria and eggs through high temperature.
The dried cuttings are inserted into the substrate, and if the cuttings are leaves, the cuttings can be inserted obliquely or spread horizontally, and then planted into the soil after the cuttings take root.Just after cutting, it is not suitable to water, wait until the plant takes root and then water, watering should not be too much, usually after the soil is dry, to avoid too humid environment leading to new root rot.
