Branch cutting is to use branches to cut. First of all, we must pay attention to the selection of substrate, choose a clean and fat free medium, so that the wounds of cuttings will not be infected by pathogens. In addition, the cutting matrix must be permeable, such as perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc., which are good cutting materials. Many flower friends don't pay attention to the choice of substrate. The branches of cuttings are infected and rotted by pathogens within a few days. How can new roots grow?
When cutting the cuttings, try not to choose scissors. When the scissors cut the cuttings, it is easy to crush the phloem, resulting in bacterial infection. In addition, when using the blade to cut the cuttings, first disinfect them with alcohol, and then bake them with fire, so as to avoid tissue injury around the wound and infection of bacteria.
When selecting cuttings, they must be robust and free from pests and diseases. Only when the branches are sunny can the survival rate of the branches grow well.
The leaves suitable for leaf cutting are generally thick, juicy and with large wounds. When leaf cutting, do not rush to insert the cuttings into the substrate, first put the leaves in a cool and ventilated place to dry for a period of time, and then carry out cutting after the wounds are dried, so as to prevent the leaves from infecting the pathogens and rotting.
Due to the poor water holding capacity of leaves, it is necessary to keep the air humidity. After cutting, plastic bags or other covers can be used to cover the flowerpot.
The newly grown leaves are too tender, the nutrient content is not high, and the vitality of the old leaves is not strong, so try to choose the mature and robust leaves, and do not leave the petioles too long, perishable and affect the nutrient absorption.
