Have you ever wondered how the succulent plants at home can turn into a small forest? Yes, through cuttage! This is a magical process. Just like magic, a leaf or branch can grow into a new fleshy baby. Today, let me take you on a cuttage journey of succulent plants! 1. Selection battle: Find your "little baby"
First, you must find your "little baby"-healthy succulent plants. They must be energetic, full of leaves, and free from pests and diseases. Cactus, black bamboo, and saxifraga are all good at cuttage. Remember, selecting materials is the key to success! 2. Prepare tools: Create your "magic wand"
Next, prepare your "magic wand"-tools. Scissors, gloves, clear water, and flower pots are all essential. The scissors should be sharp, the gloves should be clean, and the flower pots should be breathable. By the way, don't forget to take a bath and disinfect your flower pots to ensure a clean environment. 3. Handle the plant: Make a SPA
for the "little baby" and place your "little baby" in a ventilated place to dry for a day to let it rest. Use scissors to cut off a healthy branch or a plump leaf. When cutting, you should be quick, accurate and hard, and try to leave as many leaves as possible, because they are the "little experts" of photosynthesis! 4. Cutting process: Start your "magic journey" 1. Soil preparation: Put soil suitable for cuttage in the flower pot, such as perlite, vermiculite, peat, etc. Gently compress it with your hands to make the soil soft.
2. Insert the "little baby": Dig a small hole in the soil, slightly larger than your "little baby". Carefully insert it into the hole. If it is a branch, it can be tilted slightly; if it is a leaf, it can be placed flat on the soil surface.
3. Water thoroughly: Use a watering can to pour water thoroughly to allow the soil to come into close contact with the "little baby".
4. Wrap the flower pot: Wrap the flower pot in a transparent plastic bag to maintain air humidity and ambient temperature. 5. Maintenance and management: Accompany your "little baby" to grow 1. Keep it moist: Spray water on the "little baby" every day to keep the soil moist, but don't over-water it.
2. Avoid direct sunlight: Place the flower pot in a cool, ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight.
3. Gradually adapt to the sun: When the "little baby" begins to grow and stabilize, you can gradually move it to a sunny place.
4. Fertilizing and watering: Continue to fertilize and water the "little baby" to let it grow vigorously. 6. Notes: Make your "magic journey" smoother 1. Choose the right time: Spring is the best time for cuttage, because succulent plants are in a period of vigorous growth.
2. Choose the right cutting substrate: a substrate with good air permeability, good drainage, and loose, such as perlite, vermiculite, peat, etc.
3. Choose healthy mother plants: Avoid selecting sick or pest mother plants for cuttage.
4. Treating wounds: After cutting the cutting material, treat the wounds and apply some plant growth regulators to promote its rooting and survival.
5. Avoid too much or too little water: Too much water will cause cuttage seedlings to rot, while too little water will affect rooting.
6. Observe growth: Regularly observe the growth of the "little baby" and deal with it promptly if wilting occurs.
Through the above steps, your succulent cutting journey will officially begin! As long as you take care of it carefully, I believe that in the near future, you will be able to harvest your own fleshy forest. Come and give it a try, let's enjoy the happiness brought by succulent plants together!
