Bear Boy, as a leader among succulent plants, is deeply loved for its thick and juicy leaves and cute shape. Let's talk about how to breed Bear Boy through cuttage methods and let this beauty take root and sprout in your home. Before selecting suitable cuttage materials, you must first choose healthy bear boy plants. Selecting plants with vigorous growth and full leaves for cuttage will have a higher success rate. When cuttage, it is best to choose a growing season, such as spring or autumn. At this time, the bear boy grows fast and has a relatively high survival rate. Prepare cuttage tools and media 1. Cutting tools: scissors, disinfectant, rooting powder, etc.
2. Cutting media: You can choose materials with good air permeability such as perlite, vermiculite, and peat soil. These media are conducive to the growth of root systems and can also prevent root rot after cuttage. Carry out cuttage operation 1. Cut healthy leaves or branches: Use disinfected scissors to cut the leaves or branches of Bear Boy, which are about 3-5 cm long.
2. Cutting treatment: Cut the bottom of the leaves or branches at the cutting point into slopes to increase the water absorption area and improve the survival rate.
3. Soak rooting powder: Soak the treated leaves or branches in the rooting powder solution for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Cuttage: Insert the treated leaves or branches into the prepared cuttage medium to a depth of about 2-3 cm.
5. Watering: Gently spray water to make the cutting medium moist, but do not accumulate water. Maintenance after cuttage 1. Maintain ventilation: Place the cuttage bear boy in a well-ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight.
2. Control moisture: Keep the medium slightly moist to avoid excessive watering causing rotten roots.
3. Observe growth: Regularly observe the cuttage bear boy, and deal with rotten roots or diseases in time.
4. Transplanting: When the cuttage bear boy grows new root systems, you can transplant it into a new pot.
Through the above steps, you can easily complete the cuttage breeding of bear boys.
