How to cut green radish
As a classic choice for home green plants, its reproduction and maintenance has always been the focus of plant lovers. This article systematically explains the two core techniques of green radish cuttage and hydroponics, and helps you easily cultivate lush plants through scientific methods. Selection and disinfection of the full-process analysis substrate for green radish cutting high-quality cutting substrates must have the dual characteristics of ventilation and water retention. The recommended formula is: 40% humus soil +30% peat soil +30% vermiculite. Be sure to disinfect at high temperature before use. You can spread the substrate on a baking sheet, heat it in the microwave at high heat for 3 minutes, or spray 0.1% potassium permanganate solution and let it stand for 24 hours. Branch selection and pretreatment Select semi-lignified stem segments and retain 2-3 aerial root nodes. Use a 45° oblique cut method to increase the water absorption area, retain the top 2 leaves and cut off 1/3 of the leaves. Original white sugar root-promoting method: Soak the incision in 1:100 white sugar water for 2 hours and dry it, the effect is comparable to that of commercially available rooting agents. The key points of cuttage operation are shallow transplanting, and the depth of burial is 3-5cm. Use the "sandwich" soil filling method: coarse grains on the bottom, medium matrix, and perlite on the top. Keep the environmental humidity above 80%. It is recommended to spray twice a day to avoid accumulated water. Advanced Guide to Hydroponics of Green Radium Soil-to-Hydroponics Transition Skills After cleaning the roots, use a stepped water level adaptation method: keep 1/3 of the roots in contact with the water surface in the first week, increase it to 1/2 in the second week, and immerse it in the third week. When adding special nutrient solution for hydroponic cultivation, it is recommended to use 1/4 of the standard concentration to avoid burning roots. The pure hydroponic seedling breeding plan selects stem segments with air roots and uses transparent containers for easy observation. Key water change cycle: 3 days per time in summer and 7 days per time in winter. It is recommended to add bamboo charcoal blocks or medical stone to stabilize water quality and effectively prevent root rot. Light control, the core element of maintenance management: Water cultivation needs to avoid direct light, and soil cultivation can accept scattered light. The temperature is maintained within the range of 18-28℃, and the humidity is not less than 60%. Regularly prune old leaves and replenish foliar fertilizer (0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution) every month.
By mastering these key technical points, whether it is cutting propagation or hydroponics maintenance, green radish can maintain its strong vitality. It is recommended that novices start with hydroponics, and then try soil culture after mastering the growth rules, and enjoy the fun of planting step by step.
