The fastest method for cutting and rooting of the Cestrum
Compared to the common content regarding the fastest method for cutting and rooting of the Cestrum and the best way to make homemade root-promoting solution in the field of green plants and flowers, detailed information will be shared next.
The Cestrum is not unfamiliar, it belongs to the cactus family. However, it doesn't have spines and is a leafy plant, similar to the Disocactus. Therefore, it can be said that their propagation methods by cutting are the same.
When the Cestrum flowers, it can be pollinated, but it must be cross-pollinated. Pollination within the same plant cannot be successful, only pollination between different flowers can make it produce seeds. Seed sowing takes about two years to grow leaves and bloom. This is a method used for breeding new varieties, but for general home propagation, sowing seeds is very slow and the stability is also low. So, how should we cut the Cestrum?
It is very simple to cut the Cestrum. We can directly choose the method of cutting leaves. Whether it's old or young leaves, as long as we retain a section of about 10 centimeters and trim it, then place the trimmed section of leaves in a cool and well-ventilated place to dry. Let the bottom of the cut heal until it turns white and dry before cutting.
The Cestrum roots from the middle of a woody part outward, which is its cambium layer. Therefore, it is essential to let the cut heal and dry before cutting. This is the method with the highest survival rate and avoids rot.
The fastest method for cutting and rooting of the Cestrum
When Xiaoqi cuts the Cestrum, he usually lets it dry for a week, even if the leaves become a bit soft. Then, he inserts it into the soil and waters it thoroughly. If all goes well, within a week, the roots can grow several centimeters long and several roots can develop.
The cutting method is that simple. Why do we need to let it dry? If you don't let it dry and insert the cuttings directly into the soil, they will not grow roots immediately in the soil. They will first heal the wound in the soil, and fungi in the soil can cause the wound to rot. It's better to put it in a well-ventilated place to dry, and after the wound has healed and dried, insert it. The wound has already healed, and it will directly grow roots, that's the idea.
Cutting plants like the Cestrum or the Disocactus is not difficult at all. The main thing is to let the bottom of the cut heal and dry, then insert it into the soil and water it thoroughly. It can be placed in a sunny area or in an environment with scattered light. As long as the potting soil is thoroughly watered and the soil is moist, it will directly grow roots after sensing the humidity. Within a week to two weeks, the roots can grow well. Generally, after a month, we can directly transplant it into a new pot. It will continuously grow new buds from the bottom, and also grow buds on the leaves. Within a year, it can grow from a single leaf to a full pot, with flowers as large as a bowl.
