Learn these 9 cutting tips, cut what to live, rub to grow a big white root!

What kind of cuttings to choose?

Cuttings are branches inserted into the soil. It is necessary to select 1-year-old lignified and robust branches, which are easier to root and survive than newborn branches. Pay attention to no signs of diseases and insect pests on the cuttings.

Branches after flowering are more suitable for cuttage, with high nutrient content, which can take root faster and sprout new buds. It is best to cut cuttings early in the morning, because early morning cuttings have a higher moisture content and wounds heal faster.

The cuttings retain 3-4 leaves

The length of the cuttings is preferably 10-15 cm, the leaves at the lower part of the cuttings can be removed, and 3-4 leaves at the upper part should be retained, which can reduce water evaporation and is more conducive to survival.

Pay attention to disinfection and sterilization in the operation link

In order to prevent the invasion of germs, disinfection should be done as much as possible in each link of cuttage. For example, the scissors for cutting branches should be burned or wiped with alcohol for disinfection, the soil should be exposed to sterilization in advance, and the flowerpots or plastic bottles used for cuttage should also be kept clean.

The soil should be breathable

Some flower friends cuttage branches rot, probably because the soil permeability is too poor, it is recommended that we use clean river sand for cuttage, river sand permeability is good, can avoid branch rot.

Speed up rooting with rooting agents

Some flower friends say that their peanut roots are slow, and they don't take root after 1 month. This may be due to the slow rooting of the selected flowers themselves. At this time, you can soak the branches into the rooting agent first, which can greatly shorten the rooting time.

Shading is good for rooting

Using black plastic bags or black paper to shade the cuttings, the branches cannot carry out photosynthesis, so that the branches slowly turn yellow, can enhance the thickness of the branches, and then improve the resistance of the branches, improve the survival rate!

increasing the temperature

Many experienced flower growers will increase the temperature appropriately to speed up the rooting speed when cutting branches, especially in places where the temperature is still relatively low in early spring. Some flower friends will put the cuttings into the pot and heat them slightly.

spray the mother plant with rooting agent in advance

Before cutting, spray rooting agent to mother plant 3 days in advance, after being absorbed by newly grown bud and bark, the germination force of branches will be greatly improved, and the rooting speed will be accelerated when the branches are cut again.

rooting

Some flowers vine slender, such as clematis, triangular plum and other flowers, we can first a section of branches with soil pressure to promote rooting, and so on after the root system grows out, and then cut down to plant in the flowerpot, so the survival rate will be greatly improved!
