The cutting method and timing of geranium propagation
This article introduces the cutting method and timing of geranium propagation and the tips for quick root growth in green plants and flowers. Detailed information is provided below.
For water cutting of geraniums, the selection of branches is important. When handling the branches, do not damage the round area where the lateral branches connect to the main stem. The choice of water is also important. If tap water is used, it should be left to stand for a while. The medium can be珍珠岩 (perlite), 蛭石 (vermiculite), etc. For cutting, simply prepare a piece of foam, make a hole in the center, insert the branch, and fix it in the water.
1. Preparations
(1) Selection and treatment of materials: The first step, of course, is to select the cutting materials. Choose a good branch from a healthy and vigorous plant. When cutting it, be sure not to damage its heel. The original meaning of 'heel' is the 'back of the foot', and on a branch, it refers to the round part where the lateral branch connects to the main stem. Be sure not to injure it.
(2) Choice of water: Tap water can be used, but it needs to stand for a while, or can be exposed to sunlight for a period before use.
(3) Selection of medium: There are many options for the medium, all of which work well, such as 珍珠岩 (perlite), 蛭石 (vermiculite), etc.
2. Performing the cutting
First, prepare a piece of foam and make a small hole in the center. Then, insert the selected branch into the central hole and then into the water in the container. This method takes advantage of the buoyancy of the foam to keep the branch standing in the water.
3. Post-cutting management
After cutting, be sure to place it in a shady area. Make sure the temperature is not too high and avoid exposure to strong light. Keep it moist, and after about a month, the branch can take root. After rooting, normal maintenance can be resumed, keeping the temperature warm and allowing for some scattered light. During this time, be sure to change the water and prevent the water quality from becoming too poor.
