I have a pot of upside down golden bells at home. Looking at the elegant upside down leaves, do you want to do it yourself to breed more small potted plants? Don't worry, today I will tell you in detail how to cut upside down golden bell so that you can easily become a small flower farmer! 1. Choose the right cuttage time. The cuttage time of inverted golden bell is very particular! Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons, because this time the temperature is moderate and the light is sufficient, which is conducive to cuttings taking root. If you really can't wait, you can also choose to do it in winter, but be careful to keep the indoor temperature between 15-20 degrees Celsius so that the cuttings will not wither due to the cold. 2. Select high-quality cuttings If you want to succeed in cuttage, the selection of cuttings is crucial. It is best to choose a strong and growing inverted golden bell plant and cut the branches of the year to be about 8 centimeters long. Note that the bottom of the branches should be chamfered obliquely, which will help take root. In addition, all the lower leaves should be removed, leaving only the top 1-2 leaves, which can not only ensure photosynthesis, but also avoid cutting rot. 3. To prepare cuttage substrates and container cuttage substrates, you can choose legus soil, perlite or vermiculite. These media have good air permeability and water retention, which is conducive to rooting of cuttings. The container can be a transparent flowerpot or glass bottle, so that you can observe the growth of the cuttings at any time. 4. Carry out cuttage operation and insert the prepared cuttings into the medium in the cuttage container to a depth of about 3 centimeters. After insertion, gently pat the surrounding medium to ensure the stability of the cuttings. Place the cuttage container in a bright location but avoid direct sunlight, and maintain a suitable temperature and humidity. 5. Pay attention to nursing after cuttage 1. Keep the medium moist: After cuttage, the inverted golden bell needs to keep the medium moist, but do not over-water it to avoid root rot. Water spray can be used to increase air humidity.
2. Appropriate water spray: Spray water regularly on cuttings to increase air humidity and benefit root growth.
3. Use of plant growth regulators: Appropriate amount of plant growth regulators can be used to promote rooting and growth of cuttings. 6. The rooting time for the cuttage of the inverted golden bell is generally 2-4 weeks, and the specific time will be affected by environmental conditions and cuttage materials. While waiting for rooting, be patient and pay attention to the growth of the cuttings. Once new leaves are found to have begun to grow, it means that the cuttings have successfully taken root. 7. Transplant it into a pot. After the cuttings have successfully taken root, they can be transplanted into a new pot. When transplanting, pay attention to protecting the root system to avoid damage. Select soil suitable for the growth of inverted golden bells and carry out normal maintenance and management. 8. Maintenance skills 1. Lighting: Upside-down golden bells like bright light, but they should not be exposed to strong sunlight to avoid injury to the leaves.
2. Moisture: Keep the soil moist, but avoid excessive watering, which may cause root rot.
3. Temperature: The temperature should be kept within an appropriate range to avoid adverse effects on plant growth due to excessive or too low temperatures.
4. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, appropriate amount of compound fertilizers can be applied to promote plant growth.
5. Trim: Regularly trim withered leaves and sick branches to keep the plants clean and beautiful.
Through these detailed steps and skills, I believe you have a deeper understanding of the cuttage of inverted golden bell. Try it now. I believe that in the near future, you will also have your own sea of inverted golden bells and flowers!
