When cutting, it is very important to keep moisture and air humidity high enough to ensure the success rate. When cutting, because the plant absorbs water slowly, but evaporates quickly, the cuttings are easy to die. To ensure a certain air humidity, you can reduce this problem.
To ensure air humidity, in addition to regular water spray, but also some tips, in the flowerpot covered with plastic cloth or plastic film, you can moisturize.
In cutting, the requirements of the substrate are still very high, which requires good water retention capacity and a certain degree of water permeability.
For some flowers with extensive growth, general garden soil or culture soil can meet their needs. Some plants like acid soil can choose acid soil as medium. If it is difficult for some plants to take root, vermiculite or river sand can be selected as the cutting medium.
Appropriate cutting time is the key to plant survival. Generally speaking, cutting is the best in early spring or late summer, or when the plants to be cut grow vigorously, cutting can ensure the survival rate of cutting
In addition, when the air temperature is kept between 20 ℃ - 25 ℃ and the air humidity is relatively high, the survival rate of cuttings is relatively high.
In fact, the main concern of cutting is rooting. Promote rooting, cutting is easier to survive, sometimes you can use rooting water to promote rooting.
There is a special rooting agent on the market, which can also be self-made. You can make rooting water by using willow branches, vinegar, etc.
First, remove the leaves. Leaves evaporate water and consume nutrients, which is not conducive to the survival of cuttings, so it is necessary to keep 1 - 2 leaves properly.
Next is to deal with the wound, mainly to avoid infection. Can use the plant ash and so on daub the wound, but also can reduce the germ invasion.
