The cutting time for Euphorbia cyathophora is usually chosen between May and June every year, with the temperature maintained between 15-20 degrees Celsius. The mild climate is suitable, and it is easy to survive after cutting, improving the survival rate. Avoid summer and winter, as the large temperature difference makes it difficult for the plants to recover normal growth after cutting.
2. Choosing a Pot
Euphorbia cyathophora cuttings should be planted in pots with good breathability, such as earthenware or porcelain pots. Choose a pot with relatively more space to meet the plant's space requirements for recovery after cutting.
3. Soil Preparation
Euphorbia cyathophora cuttings need to use nutrient-rich soil, prepared by mixing river sand soil and peat soil in a 1:1 ratio. This soil is rich in nutrients, loose and fertile, with good breathability and drainage. Avoid using alkaline soil, as overly poor soil affects plant growth.
4. Cutting Treatment
Select vigorous branches from the Euphorbia cyathophora plant, free from any diseases or pests. Cut them to a length of 10-15 centimeters, leaving 3-4 leaf buds on top and removing all the leaves from the bottom. Apply a small amount of wood ash to the wound for disinfection and let it dry in a cool and well-ventilated place for 2-3 days. Wait for the wound to heal and dry before use.
5. Performing the Cutting
Insert the treated branches into the prepared soil, water slightly to avoid waterlogging, and keep the soil moist. Place it in a cool and well-ventilated area for cultivation, waiting for it to root and sprout.
Two, Care Methods
1. Light
After cutting Euphorbia cyathophora, avoid direct sunlight and place it in a cool and well-ventilated area for cultivation, waiting for the roots to grow before providing normal light exposure.
