The Cuttage Propagation of Upland Grass

1. Time

The time of cutting is very important. Generally speaking, what we need to avoid is the time of flowering. If the plant that we want to do this operation will blossom, we need to check carefully when it blossoms. It was mentioned earlier that it will blossom, and the time is at the time of exchange in summer and autumn, so we can't do it at this time.

Considering the temperature and other conditions, the best time for us to operate is in June or July.

2. Soil insertion

There are two ways of cutting, one of which is soil cutting. As the name implies, this operation is carried out in the soil.

The part we need to select is the stem with bracts, and perhaps some people do not know that it is the uppermost part of the strongest branch before flowering, or rather the branch at the top of this part that is three to five centimeters long.

Cut off part of its whorled leaves because it makes the water evaporate less. Then what we need to do is insert it into the soil. The soil is fastidious, and we need to mix some sand and gravel into it.

After that, put it in a cool place and water it thoroughly. It is best to keep it moist all the time. It will take more than twenty days for it to grow new roots.

3. Water plug

The second method is to insert it with water, that is, to insert it into the water for maintenance.

The water used here is also fastidious, we'd better use cold boiled water, and the bottles that hold these water need to be wide-mouthed. We still need to choose the stem with bracts, but we need to cut off its umbrella-shaped upper eight-centimeter branch, cut off half of each bract, and then insert it directly into the water.

It takes us 20 days to keep the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius. If the water plug is carried out in summer, you need to change the water every two or three days, so that you can resist the bacteria and its roots will not be destroyed.
