First of all, we need to confirm the time of the lateral cutting of Perilla. Basically speaking, the time of cutting should change with the planting of the mother plant of Perilla. Specifically, after the side branches grow on the mother plant of perilla, they can be taken down for cutting when they grow to the proper size.
Secondly, it is to choose a suitable cutting environment, in addition to ensuring that there is a suitable light temperature, but also need to choose a suitable soil, you can install soil in the seedling or flower pot, cutting can
Finally, it is necessary to select the right cuttings. Generally, it is necessary to select the lateral branches on the plants with strong growth and disease resistance, which are required to grow well, have dark green leaves, short internodes, and retain 4-5 nodes.
After selecting the right lateral branch, cutting can be carried out. Use a knife to remove the side branches, or directly break them off. Remove the leaves at the lower end of the cuttings. Only keep the two leaves at the top. The treated cuttings can be put in the room to dry and let the wounds heal before cutting, which is more conducive to rooting.
The treated cuttings can also be inserted into the rooting agent such as rooting powder, soaked for a while, in cutting, can accelerate rooting
The cuttings can be cutted after being processed. Put the cuttings into the soil, not too deep about 5cm, and then compact the soil.
After cutting, it is necessary to keep a proper temperature, not more than 30 ℃, and then appropriate ventilation and shade, maintain a high air humidity, so as to avoid wilting of branches and leaves. Wait for cuttage about a week, the cut of cuttage begins to heal, begin to take root, can increase light appropriately at this time..
Generally, after cutting for half a month, a longer root system will grow, and then normal maintenance and management can be carried out.
