Before cuttage, first choose a healthy desert rose plant as your "mother". She must be the kind with luxuriant leaves and vigorous spirits, with no signs of pests and diseases. Healthy mother plants provide sufficient nutrients and growth hormones to allow your little babies to thrive. 2. Prepare tools and materials. Everything is ready.
Next, we have to prepare some tools and materials needed for cuttage. A sharp pair of scissors or knives is essential, as well as fresh river sand, perlite or sandy soil as a cutting substrate. If you want, you can also prepare some rooting powder or plant growth hormones, such as willow branch water, which can help your cuttings take root faster. 3. Cut the cuttings, accurately position them, and choose a sunny spring or autumn when you choose the location of the
. At this time, the desert roses are growing vigorously, which is a good time for cuttage. Select a vigorously growing, healthy branch, about 10 to 15 centimeters long, making sure there is at least one growth point on the cutting. Use your scissors or knife to cut gently, making the incision even to avoid damaging the cutting. 4. Handle the cuttings and prepare for rooting. Cut the lower end of the cut cuttings into oblique openings to increase the water absorption area. Dip the lower end of the cuttings with plant growth hormone or immerse them in rooting powder to promote rooting. If you don't have these, you can also apply ground sand to the incision, which will also help the cuttings better absorb nutrients and water. 5. Insert the cuttings steadily, take root in the soil and insert the treated cuttings into the substrate to a depth of about half the length of the cuttings. Avoid shaking during insertion and insert it firmly into the substrate. Gently compact the soil around the substrate with your hands to tightly bond the cuttings to the substrate. 6. Transplantation to allow the little babies to grow independently. When the cuttings grow new buds and roots and grow well, they can be transplanted into new flowerpots for maintenance. Care should be taken during transplanting to avoid damaging the roots and leaves of the cuttings. 7. Maintain, care for growth, and witness miracles. During the entire cuttage breeding process, maintain good ventilation and moisture of the substrate. Avoid excessive fertilization and watering to ensure the growth and development of cuttings. Remember to regularly check the growth of cuttings and adjust maintenance measures in a timely manner.
