The cutting propagation of Tradescantia is mostly carried out from April to June every year, but Tradescantia cutting is most suitable in autumn, which has many advantages.
It is easy to survive and grow rapidly in autumn. And because the growth stem is not high and the leaves are vigorous, it is convenient for the growth of Tradescantia in winter. In this way, the cuttings of Tradescantia will blossom in the next year, which is very beautiful.
The healthy and disease-free shoot tip is usually used as propagation material for Tradescantia cutting. The stem is cut into 6-8 cm long segments with more than three leaves in each segment, and the young branches at the top can also be used as cuttings. The fine sand can be used as the propagation medium of Tradescantia. Choose the right culture apparatus, flowerpot or seedling bed.
Put the cymbidium of the Tradescantia in the flowerpot with fine sand, put the cymbidium into half of the soil, and take root half a month later.
After cutting, the Tradescantia should be watered and moistened every day. The air humidity should not be too low. It should be kept in a cool place at ordinary times. It should be fertilized once in 20-30 days. In this way, Tradescantia can reproduce rapidly.
When the root system of Tradescantia is strong, it can be transplanted separately.
After cutting, we should pay attention to watering, and keep the pot soil moist at ordinary times. Basin soil can't be too dry. If it's too dry, there will be less leaves, too long stems and weak leaves. In addition, it is necessary to regularly spray water on the leaf surface to maintain sufficient moisture.
There is a large demand for fertilizer from Tradescantia. If more fertilizer is applied, it will grow vigorously, with more leaves and large leaves. Therefore, it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently to meet the growth demand of Tradescantia.
