Choose the Right Sand, Selection of Cutting Materials, and注意事项 for Cutting Operations post Survival

Multicellular plants are loved by plant enthusiasts for their unique shapes and easy maintenance. Sand multicellular cutting, as a simple and effective propagation method, not only increases the variety of multicellular plants but also allows more新手 gardeners to experience the joy of propagation. This article will introduce the method of sand multicellular cutting in detail, helping you master this propagation skill easily.

Choosing the Right Sand

Before engaging in sand multicellular cutting, it's important to choose the right sand. Ideal sand should be evenly granulated and finely textured, preferably river sand or sea sand, which have good breathability and drainage properties beneficial for the growth of multicellular plants. It's also necessary to pay attention to the pH level of the sand, choosing a neutral sand with a pH value between 6.5-7.5.

Selection of Cutting Materials

Selecting a healthy mother plant is key to success. It's more suitable to choose vigorous and leafy multicellular plants as cutting materials. Before cutting, clean the leaves of the mother plant to avoid introducing diseases and pests during the process.

Performing Cutting Operations

1. Pour the prepared sand into the flower pot, filling the bottom to form a certain thickness.

2. Make a small hole in the sand with your finger, gently insert the leaf or stem of the mother plant into the hole, ensuring that it is in close contact with the sand.

3. Lightly press the sand to secure the leaf or stem in place.

4. Place the pot in a well-ventilated, semi-shaded environment, avoiding direct sunlight.

注意事项

1. Keep the multicellular plants moist after cutting but not too wet to avoid rotting roots. Generally, spray water once every 1-2 days.

2. Avoid direct sunlight during the cutting period to prevent leaf burns.

3. Maintain a suitable temperature, generally between 15-25℃.

4. Monitor the multicellular plants after cutting and deal with diseases and pests promptly.

Post-Survival Maintenance

1. Gradually increase the lighting time for multicellular plants after they survive, but avoid direct strong sunlight.

2. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not too wet.

3. As the plants grow, you can apply some compound fertilizers appropriately to promote robust growth.

Sand multicellular cutting is a simple and easy-to-learn propagation method with a high success rate. By mastering the cutting techniques and注意事项, even新手 can easily propagate beautiful multicellular plants. I hope this tutorial can help garden enthusiasts and allow more people to enjoy the fun of multicellular plants.
