Cutting Propagation of Pelargonium

1. Select the insert

First of all, you should choose healthy branches and let the branches with three left and right leaf nodes on the top. When cutting the cuttings, cut them obliquely about 0.4 cm away from the upper leaf node, and let the incision be smooth. Then cut off the leaves on the second section below together with the petiole, but leave 2 small leaves at the top.

2. Deal with cuttings

After the cuttings are cut, leave them in a cool place for 2 hours before you can go to the cuttings.

3. Select the matrix

Before cutting, it is necessary to prepare the cutting substrate, and fine yellow sand is the best. when placed, the lower part of the basin can put some sand the size of rice grains to facilitate running water, and then put some thick fine sand on the basin to facilitate drainage.

4. Cuttage

Choose a good cutting time, usually spring in May, autumn in October, and then before cutting, water the substrate thoroughly, and then dig a hole in it, the depth should reach the height of the lower two sections of the cuttings, and then insert the cuttings, and then compact them with tools.

5. Proper lighting

After the cuttage, the first half of the month can not be directly illuminated by the sun, and then it can be moved to the half-yin and half-yang place for maintenance, but not too long, so that it can grow better.

6. Rational watering

When it is thoroughly watered for the first time, it is usually only necessary to spray water properly with a spray can, so as not to make the soil too wet, which will improve its survival rate.
