Last Updated: 2024/11/25, Generally speaking, cuttage propagation in pot is the most practical method for family flower cultivation. The cutting time 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 should be loose, aerated and drained, it is best to choose a mixture of sand, perlite, rotten leaf soil, or medium-coarse river sand, cooked soil or expanded perlite, all of which should be sterilized by hot sun exposure. Cuttings can be cut in combination with spring and autumn pruning, and one-year-old young shoots without diseases and insect pests are selected as cuttings, with a length of about 8 cm.

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

The cultivated soil should be loose, aerated and drained well, and it is best to choose a mixture of sand, perlite and rotten leaf soil, or medium-coarse river sand, cooked soil or expanded perlite, all of which should be sterilized by hot sun and other methods. Cutting can be carried out in combination with spring and autumn pruning, selecting the young shoots of one year without diseases and insect pests as cuttings, which are about 8 cm long, cut into horseear shape with a knife 0.2 cm below the node, dry the wound first and then cut it, otherwise it is easy to rot, the incision can also be dipped in a little rooting powder, it is easy to promote rooting, the lower leaves of cuttings should be cut off and 2 top leaves should be retained, and if the leaves are large, they can also be cut off 1 / 3 or 1 / 2. Reduce water evaporation When cutting, first cut a small hole in the basin soil with fine bamboo, then insert the ear, press it tightly with the soil with your fingers, and place it in a cool place after cutting, avoid bright light, pour water once, do not accumulate water, keep it moist, and take root in about half a month under the right temperature. When the seedlings grow up to 15 cm, coring treatment is carried out to promote lateral branches. at the same time, attention should be paid to the application of thin nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium compound liquid fertilizer, or rotten thin cake fertilizer and other organic fertilizer, so that the plant can blossom in the same winter or the next spring.
