How to propagate the Goldfish Plant through cutting
Compared to the knowledge of most people about how to propagate the Goldfish Plant through cutting and the key cultivation techniques of the plant in the field of flowers, the following is an introduction by the editor for netizens.
The name of the Goldfish Plant gives us a clue that it is related to goldfish; it blooms and the flowers resemble small yellow goldfish, hence the name. It flowers in winter, producing a large number of flowers that are small but beautiful, making it increasingly popular due to its unique character. The Goldfish Plant is mainly propagated through cutting, but some gardening enthusiasts often fail to get it to survive. Let me briefly explain how to operate the cutting of the Goldfish Plant and when it is suitable to do so.
The Goldfish Plant has two seasons of vigorous growth, in spring and autumn, because the temperature is very suitable in spring, and it grows rapidly. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees in summer, it will enter a dormant state with slow growth. High temperatures and improper care can easily lead to leaf drop. Therefore, the best season for cutting is during its peak growing season, spring and autumn. Cutting in summer is difficult as the plant does not grow, and it is prone to rot. If you want to propagate the Goldfish Plant, you must choose the growing season; cutting in spring and autumn has a high survival rate and is easy for beginners to handle. How to propagate the Goldfish Plant through cutting?
When propagating the Goldfish Plant, a branch about 5 centimeters long is sufficient. Remove the two bottom leaves and place the branch in a well-ventilated area to dry. How long should it be dried? Generally, one day is enough, and when the bottom wound is slightly tight and dry, it can be used for cutting. Use nutrient-rich, loose, and breathable soil for cutting. I usually use nutrient soil directly for cutting and water it thoroughly after planting.
When watering, you can add root growth hormone and carbendazim to prevent fungal infections in the soil. The root growth hormone can promote rapid root growth. After cutting, place it in a scattered light environment, keep the soil moist, and spray with a spray bottle in the morning and evening to increase air humidity. You can also cover it with a plastic greenhouse, which can increase air humidity and survival rate. After about 7 days of cutting, some will start to grow roots, and most roots will grow out within 15 days. After a month, obvious growth of terminal buds or new buds will start, and you can then transplant it into new potting soil for normal care.
Propagating the Goldfish Plant through cutting is that simple. Have you learned it? But be sure to choose the right season and method; one cutting can survive if done correctly. After a year of care, this cutting will quickly fill the pot, and it looks very beautiful when it flowers in winter.
