Hydroponic Gesneriad propagation by cutting
Today's sharing: A little knowledge of hydroponic Gesneriad propagation by cutting, let's take a look together!
Hydroponic Gesneriad propagation by cutting is often used for large plants. For plants with middle and lower leaves fallen off, reduced ornamental value, or no ornamental value, cut off the top part with a sharp knife in spring or summer, and it is necessary to apply sulfur powder or freshly made plant ash or charcoal powder.
This prevents the decay caused by harmful bacteria and keeps 2-3 leaves, removing the excess leaves. Place it in a semi-shady area with an air humidity of 70-80%, spray water or mist on the leaves every day, but not on the cut surface, and insert after the cut surface dries.
The best choice for cutting medium is construction sand or fine sand soil, and flower pots are used as containers. First, pad the bottom hole of the flower pot, fill the cutting soil with about 1/3, place the cutting vertically, fill the soil around, and compact it firmly. Place it in a semi-shady area with good ventilation, water thoroughly, and spray water 1-2 times a day, while also spraying the surroundings of the site to increase the humidity. It can take root in 20-26 days. Keep it in the pot for the winter and replant in the following spring.
