Tradescantia can be divided into plants and propagated by cutting. Most of the ramets were in spring and summer. There is no specific requirement for cutting time. Warm bed cutting can be carried out in all periods of the year. Cold bed cutting can be carried out except for winter dormancy period. However, in order to avoid overwintering, it is generally carried out in an earlier period, and the most appropriate time is rainy season.

When cutting, select a good shade space, control the light intensity of 45% to 55%. Most cuttings are made of perlite which has good water permeability and drainage effect. Before cutting, the cutting bed shall be turned over once. After turning over the soil, the sundries shall be cleaned up. After cleaning up, the cutting can be done

Cutting operation rules of Tradescantia

When selecting the mother seedling, 8-10cm plants were selected, and the cuttings were manually peeled from the trunk. After cuttage survival, transplanting is carried out, and the spacing of each seedling is kept at 10cm, which is beneficial to plant growth. After all the cuttings, spray enough water with the watering can and shade it.

After cutting, pay attention to water control to ensure the soil moisture of cutting bed. After 4 days, watering can be reduced properly to keep the soil surface dry and promote rooting. Half a month later, most of the plants have taken root. Do not apply fertilizer to cuttage bed, but spray with nutrient solution. Generally, urea with mass concentration of 0.2% can be used. When the new root grows to 5cm, it should be transplanted with a specification of 60cm × 40cm to avoid injury to the new root. Open cutting is usually in spring and summer, greenhouse cutting all the year round.
