How to cultivate Peony Chlorophytum in soil? Peony Chlorophytum is not a Chlorophytum nor a peony, but a perennial herbaceous plant, and it is also a succulent. Therefore, special attention should be paid when cultivating it in soil, as improper handling of wounds can easily lead to black stems.
How to cultivate it in soil effectively? Today, Xiao Liang will share some soil cultivation experience with you.
1. Choose good branches
The selection of branches is very important and should not be too casual. The quality of the branches affects the survival rate. If you choose a branch that is not growing well, or is aging, or diseased, these are not likely to root, and the survival rate will be very low. Therefore, the selection of branches should be careful, choosing strong and full branches, preferably those that have just finished flowering or have full buds, as these branches have strong growth power, root quickly, and can significantly improve the survival rate.
2. Branch treatment
Branches freshly cut cannot be immediately planted. Some treatment is necessary. First, cut a 45-degree diagonal cut at the incision, and make sure the wound is smooth, without wrinkles, as this affects rooting and survival. If the cut is not smooth, you can use a sharp knife to trim it, being careful not to hurt your hands. After trimming, soak the branches in a fungicide solution and root hormone water for 30 minutes (root hormone water and fungicide can be mixed, so there is no need to soak separately). After soaking, do not plant immediately, as this can easily lead to black stems. What you need to do is place the branches in a shaded and well-ventilated area to dry, and only plant them after the wounds have healed. Since the branches are succulent, it's fine to leave them for two to three days; you must wait until the wounds have completely healed before planting.
3. Plant in moist soil
Before planting, you can spray the soil with water first. What is the right moisture level? After picking up the soil with your hand and then opening your hand, gently shake the soil to make it loose. This is the appropriate moisture level. Then, gently plant the branches in the moist soil and you can cover them with a transparent plastic bag, making a few holes in the bag or opening it once a day for ventilation. If you don't use a plastic bag, remember to spray the leaves with water twice a day to maintain some moisture, and keep the potting soil moist as well. In about 10 days, you can grow white roots, and once the roots reach about 3 centimeters, you can transplant them.
4. Transplant to loose and fertile soil
After rooting, you can transplant them to loose and fertile soil. When planting, it's best to use vermiculite, as it promotes quick rooting and does not cause bacterial infections or black stems. Therefore, it is necessary to transplant to nutrient-rich soil for planting, so that it can grow normally. When you see new buds starting to grow, you can start fertilizing. Fertilizing can help Peony Chlorophytum grow faster and stronger. You can use organic compound fertilizer twice a month and sprinkle granular slow-release fertilizer on the surface of the potting soil to ensure adequate nutrition and fast growth.
These four points are about the soil cultivation of Peony Chlorophytum to transplanting, as well as some experience and knowledge about later-stage fertilizing. If you don't know how to cultivate Peony Chlorophytum in soil, you can follow Xiao Liang's experience to cultivate it, which can root quickly and has a high survival rate.
