Cutting is not seasonal. It can be carried out at any time of the year, but the survival rate of cutting is higher in June and mid July. The main reason is that the temperature is about 17 ℃ to 18 ℃, and the air humidity is also relatively high. This time is the most vigorous stage of Begonia growth, and the survival rate of cutting will be greatly improved!
Select the branch with the best development at the top of Begonia, the length is about 15 cm, and take two top leaves and buds on the branch, remove the redundant leaves, and cut off the bamboo part of the branch obliquely. After cutting, the branches should be put into the cultivation soil for cultivation. Generally, fresh and clean vermiculite is selected as the soil, because it can inhibit bacteria, and has a very good effect of moisture and water permeability. If there is no vermiculite, it can be replaced by coarse river sand, but it should be dried and disinfected before use. When cutting, just insert 5 cm of the branch into the culture soil. After cutting, pay attention to avoid direct sunlight. At the same time, ensure the humidity of the culture environment. Spray water once a day when the temperature is the highest at noon. If the work is all right, it can take root in half a month or so. The temperature is generally between 20 ℃ and 24 ℃. After rooting for a month, it can be moved to a pot and planted. If you don't want to plant with soil, you can use water to raise, just put the cut branches in the water, but remember to change the water frequently, usually once in a day or two, wait until the branches take root before transplanting.
1. leaves inserted. The leaves should be planted in summer or autumn. If they are indoors, they can also be planted in winter. To select mature leaves for leaf cutting
2. Rhizome insertion. This method is suitable for Begonia with dense rhizomes. The time choice is in spring or autumn. Cut the rhizome at the bottom of Begonia and insert it into the culture soil at an angle of 3 to 5 cm.
