How to Propagate Monstera Deliciosa by Cutting
Here are some small experiences on the propagation by cutting of Monstera Deliciosa and the timing and methods of cutting care for green plants. Next, let's introduce to you by the editor.
The cutting of Monstera Deliciosa is mainly carried out in spring and autumn. Generally speaking, the cutting of Monstera Deliciosa needs to consider the requirements of cutting, soil, temperature, and light. If the cutting work is in place, it can take root and sprout in about a month. The following is a specific introduction for everyone.
I. Cutting Time
Monstera Deliciosa is usually cut in spring and autumn because the temperature is suitable during these two seasons, which is more conducive to the growth and development of Monstera Deliciosa, and the survival rate of cutting is higher.
II. Cutting Methods
1. Cut a cutting from Monstera Deliciosa, retaining about 10 centimeters in length, which can have 2-3 buds. The aerial roots at the bottom also need to be retained, and the leaves can be left off. Place it in a container with soil, preferably one with good ventilation and slightly larger, to provide a better living space.
2. Choose a soil with good breathability, looseness, and fertility, such as garden soil or decomposed leaf soil. Of course, you can also add some fine sand and other substances, which are more conducive to plant root and sprout growth. In addition, a thin fertilizer can be appropriately used in the soil to promote root development.
3. The cutting of Monstera Deliciosa is directly inserted into the soil, and the temperature must be controlled. First, ensure the normal growth of the roots and place it in a dark place. At the same time, sufficient water should be guaranteed, and a humid environment is more conducive to the growth and development of Monstera Deliciosa. If you find that the roots of Monstera Deliciosa have started to develop later, it is recommended to change the container and use a pot plant.
4. After Monstera Deliciosa is inserted into the soil, the aerial roots will develop first. When new root parts appear, make sure there is sufficient water and light conditions to promote strong root growth. When new buds appear, lush branches and leaves will follow.
III. Precautions
After the cutting is completed, avoid direct sunlight and place it in a cool and well-ventilated place for breeding. In addition, if cutting in autumn, it should be done indoors to prevent the plant from being damaged by low temperatures.
The above () has introduced the detailed content of how to propagate Monstera Deliciosa by cutting and the timing and methods of cutting. I hope it can be helpful to you!
