Cutting propagation of Pelargonium

The most suitable temperature for cutting of pelargonium is 18-20 ℃. Generally speaking, the cutting time of pelargonium is best in April-May or August-September each year, and the cultivated soil should be loose, aerated and drained well. it is best to choose a mixture of sand, perlite and rotten leaf soil, or medium-coarse river sand, cooked soil or expansive perlite, all of which need to be sterilized by hot sun exposure and other methods.

Cutting Propagation techniques of Pelargonium

1. It is best to choose an annual, disease-free, well-developed shoot with a length of about 8 cm as cuttings, cut into a horseshoe shape with a knife 0.2 cm below the node, dry the wound first and then insert it, otherwise it is easy to rot, and the incision can also be dipped in a little rooting powder to promote rooting.

2. Cut off the lower leaves of the cuttings and keep 1-2 top leaves; when cutting, first cut a small hole in the basin soil with fine bamboo, then insert the ear and press it tightly with the soil; place it in a cool place after cutting, avoid bright light, water once, do not accumulate water, keep the soil moist, and normally take root in about half a month.

3. Geraniums should not be overwatered. If the roots of geraniums are found to fester, it may be due to overwatering and muggy weather. The frequency of watering should be controlled in every three or two days watering, each watering to a large amount of water, to ensure thorough watering.

After understanding the cutting propagation and propagation skills of geranium, let's take a look at the medicinal value of geranium.

When is the suitable time for geranium cutting? What are the techniques of cutting propagation of geraniums?

Geraniums like warm, humid, sunny places and are afraid of high temperatures, especially in summer, which will grow very slowly if there is not enough light. Do you know all about its breeding techniques? Today I'm going to take you to find out what is the right time for cutting of geranium and how it propagates.

The period of time during which geraniums are suitable for cutting:

The cutting time of pelargonium should be from April to May or August to September, and the specific cutting time should be determined according to the local suitable temperature (18-20 ℃). If the cultivated soil is loose and drained, it is best to choose a mixture of sand, perlite, rotten leaf soil, or medium-coarse river sand, mature soil or expanded perlite, all of which should be sterilized by hot sun exposure.

Techniques for cutting propagation of pelargonium:

Generally speaking, cuttage propagation in pot is the most practical method for family flower cultivation.

Geranium cuttage can be combined with spring and autumn pruning, selecting an annual healthy shoot without diseases and insect pests as cuttings, about 8 cm long, cut into horseshoe shape with a knife at 0.2 cm below the node, dry the wound first and then insert it, otherwise it is easy to rot, and the incision can also be dipped in a little rooting powder to promote rooting.

Cut off the lower leaves of the cuttings, retain 1-2 top leaves, if the leaves are large, you can also cut off 1 big 3 or 1 2 to reduce water evaporation; when cutting, first insert a small hole in the basin soil with fine bamboo, then insert the ear, press tightly with your fingers, so that it is closely connected with the soil; place it in a cool place after cutting, avoid bright light, water once, do not accumulate water, and keep moist.

Under the condition of suitable temperature, it can take root in about half a month; when the seedling grows to 15 cm, carry out coring treatment to promote lateral branches. at the same time, we should pay attention to irrigating thin nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium compound liquid fertilizer, or rotten thin cake fertilizer and other organic fertilizer to make the plant strong and strong. It can blossom in the winter of the same year or the spring of the next year.
