How to propagate Euphorbia keratinocarpa through cutting
Today, the editor will explain how to propagate Euphorbia keratinocarpa through cutting and share some green plant maintenance experience regarding the methods and timing of its propagation. Let's follow the editor and take a look!
Euphorbia keratinocarpa can be propagated through seeding and cutting. Cuttings save seeds and also have a high survival rate, making it a common propagation method. Select sturdy stem segments from the mother plant of Euphorbia keratinocarpa, cut them and let them dry before inserting them into the soil, waiting for them to root. The following details the cutting steps for Euphorbia keratinocarpa.
I. Cutting Time
Euphorbia keratinocarpa can be propagated from April to June. During this period, the temperature is warm, the temperature difference is small, and choosing a sunny morning is most suitable for Euphorbia keratinocarpa propagation.
II. Preparing Potting Soil
Euphorbia keratinocarpa can use well-drained sandy soil as the cutting substrate. Prepare decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and coal slag, mix them evenly to make potting soil for later use.
III. Selecting Cuttings
From the vigorous Euphorbia keratinocarpa plant, select healthy and sturdy stem segments, cut 15-20 centimeters of the stem, remove the leaves from the cutting, and retain 3-5 leaves. Place them in a semi-shaded area to dry for 5-7 days, waiting for the wound to heal.
IV. Planting Cuttings
Prepare a suitable ceramic or clay pot, place a piece of tile at the bottom, and fill it with potting soil. Insert the Euphorbia keratinocarpa cutting into the soil 2-3 centimeters deep, do not water immediately, and after 2-3 days, spray water inside the pot with a spray bottle to keep the soil moist. Water when the soil dries later, but be careful not to waterlog. Place it in a shaded area for maintenance, and after rooting, semi-shade it. Keep the temperature between 22-28°C for better growth.
The above is a comprehensive explanation of how to propagate Euphorbia keratinocarpa through cutting, including the methods and timing of propagation. I hope it helps you.
