Understand the principles of cuttage. Considerations during the cuttage process of selecting plants suitable for cuttage. Cutting is a common plant reproduction method. It can help us quickly reproduce various plants. Not all plants are suitable for cuttage. This article will introduce you how to choose plants suitable for cuttage and some matters to pay attention to during the cuttage process. Understand the principle of cuttage Cutting is a method of asexual reproduction. By cutting off the stems, leaves, roots and other parts of the plant, placing them in suitable soil or substrate, taking root and germinating, forming new plants, and selecting suitable cuttage plants. Plant, we must first understand its growth habits. Choose plants suitable for cuttage 1. Plants with strong reproductive ability and plants with strong reproductive ability are easier to successfully cuttage. Rose, jasmine, mint and other plants have strong reproductive ability in stems, leaves and other parts, and the cuttage success rate is high.
2. Plants with low lignification are more likely to take root, succulent plants, herbs, etc., their stems, leaves and other parts have low lignification and a high success rate of cuttage.
3. Plants with strong adaptability and fast growth speed Select plants with strong adaptability and fast growth speed, which can shorten the cuttage cycle and improve reproductive efficiency. Cactus, spider plants, green radish and other plants have strong adaptability, fast growth speed, and cuttage success rate is high.
4. When selecting cuttage plants, we can also consider their ornamental value. Violet, peony, orchids and other plants have high ornamental value. After successful cuttage, they can beautify our living environment. Points to note during the cuttage process 1. Choose the right cuttage time. Cutting time has a great impact on the success rate of cuttage. Spring and autumn are the best periods for cuttage. The temperature is suitable and the light is sufficient, which is conducive to the growth of cuttage plants.
2. Selecting suitable soil or substrate for cuttage plants requires selecting loose, breathable, and well-drained soil or substrate, such as perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc. These materials are conducive to plant rooting.
3. Pay attention to the cuttage depth and the cuttage depth should be appropriate. Too deep or too shallow will affect the success rate of cuttage. The cuttage depth is 1/3 to 1/2 of the cuttage part of the plant.
4. Maintain appropriate humidity During the cuttage process, it is necessary to maintain appropriate humidity, which is conducive to the rooting of plants. The humidity can be maintained by spraying water, covering plastic films, etc.
5. Pay attention to pest control. Cutting plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases. During the cuttage process, the growth status of plants should be checked regularly to prevent pests and diseases in a timely manner.
Choosing plants suitable for cuttage is the key to successful cuttage. Understand the growth habits of plants, select plants with strong reproductive ability, strong adaptability, and fast growth speed, and pay attention to relevant matters during the cuttage process. I believe that you will be able to successfully reproduce beautiful plants.
