In the selection of cuttings, it is generally to look for the branches with strong growth, so that the survival rate of the later stage is also higher. Then cut a twig on its branches, about 10 cm in length. The cut branches can't be cut at once. Generally, they can wait until the wound at the fracture is good, so they can be dried for one night, as long as they feel good, then they can start cutting.
We'll find the cuttings we've dealt with, and then we'll slowly insert them on the prepared sand bed. We must make sure that half of the cuttings are exposed outside the soil, and we can't insert them all, or we won't survive. Then normal maintenance can be done, about 15 to 20 days into the time will start to take root, and then after 25 days can be transplanted into the pot.
Watering: after cutting, we need to supplement it with proper amount of water, not too much or too little. Watering it a little every day can completely meet its needs. As long as the soil is kept slightly wet, it is OK, but there is no water. After a week, it will take root. Then two leaves began to grow. In about a month, we can transplant the cut Centaurus
Temperature: it generally prefers warm environment, so the temperature should be controlled between 15 ℃ and 30 ℃. In the period of cutting, it is also necessary to conduct certain shading and rain protection. The so-called shading is to properly block the sun when the light is too strong, because the branches just inserted are relatively fragile and prone to sunburn. Rain shelter is, in the event of heavy rain, we must timely shelter, not to let the heavy rain, or the cuttings into the branches will be easy to get out.
Fertilization: before cutting, in order to grow, we must add a little basic fertilizer in the soil, with the best compound fertilizer, so that it can take root faster.
