How to propagate the Aspidistra elatior
The internet introduces the propagation of Aspidistra elatior, how to propagate Aspidistra elatior, and the specific content is as follows:
Aspidistra elatior is mostly used as a pot plant, and we need to propagate many of them. So, how do you propagate Aspidistra elatior? The method is simple, either by cutting or dividing the plant, both methods are similar, let's take a specific look.
When propagating Aspidistra elatior by cutting, we choose sturdy, upright branches, and discard the弯曲, weak ones. The length of 5-10 centimeters is sufficient, as longer ones tend to consume more nutrients and reduce the survival rate. Branches with aerial roots are better, as many branches of Aspidistra elatior in pots have aerial roots, be careful not to damage these roots.
Next is the cutting process. Since the branches of Aspidistra elatior are relatively soft, we first soak the potting soil, make a hole with a small stick, not too deep, then insert the branch into the hole, with the aerial roots buried as well, and gently press the soil down, filling the pot in this manner, and then spray some water on the leaf surface to complete the process.
Do not insert the branch directly into the soil, as the branch is very tender and this can easily break and damage it, greatly reducing the survival rate.
The most important aspect is the care after the cutting. Place the cut Aspidistra elatior in a shaded area with not too dim light, and maintain a certain level of humidity. Water the soil when it is half-dry and avoid frequent watering, as the roots have not grown yet and the plant is not capable of consuming the moisture in the soil. If it is too wet, it can lead to the branches rotting. You can also spray some water on the leaf surface when it is dry.
About half a month later, the roots will have formed and can be transplanted. For dividing Aspidistra elatior, you can repot it every spring.
The above is a specific introduction to how to propagate Aspidistra elatior (with pictures), hoping to bring some knowledge of flowers to flower enthusiasts.
