The cuttage time of money tree is generally in spring and autumn, which is the growth period of the plant, the climate is relatively warm, and it is easier to take root after cuttage.If cutting in summer, because the temperature is too high, the bottom of the plant is easy to rot, and the survival rate is relatively low.In winter, the temperature is too low, cutting is not easy to take root.
There are two kinds of cuttings for money tree cuttings, one is leaf, the other is leaf axis.When using leaves as cuttings, make sure they are intact and do not have cuts or diseased areas.Use the rachis as cuttings, leaving at least two leaves on top.Comparatively speaking, the latter has faster rooting speed and higher germination rate.
If leaves are used as cuttings, it is generally necessary to mix river sand and vermiculite to prepare potting soil, which can ensure a certain degree of ventilation and drainage capacity.If the rachis as cuttings, you can use peat soil, perlite and sand preparation of potting soil, the ratio of the three is 3:1:1, because the peat soil has a certain degree of water retention, it is also very suitable as a matrix for adult plants.
The leaves of the money tree are inserted into the matrix, and small bulbous stems with roots can generally grow after 10 to 14 days, and can grow into small plants after 2 to 3 months.If the leaf axis cuttage is used, the depth is about one third or one half, the appropriate water spray is placed in a semi-shady place, and the temperature is controlled between 25 and 27 deg C.
