Tiger Piran is a common indoor foliage plant with high ornamental value. Cuttings are a common method for propagating tiger pills, but there are some factors that need to be paid attention to during rooting of cuttings to ensure the success rate and survival rate of rooting. This article will introduce in detail the factors that need to be paid attention to and specific measures during the rooting period of tiger piran cuttings.
1. Choose the appropriate time for cuttings.
The best time for tiger pill orchid cuttings is spring or autumn, when the temperature is suitable, the branches are active and the rooting speed is fast. Try to avoid cuttings at high or low temperatures to avoid damage to the plants.
2. Choose healthy shoots.
Choose healthy, pest-free shoots for cuttings, preferably 1-2-year-old branches, which have high vigor and are easy to root. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid using young or aged branches for cuttings.
3. Prepare suitable soil.
The soil of tiger piranium cuttings needs to have good air permeability and drainage, and peat soil and perlite can be mixed in a 1:1 ratio. At the same time, some well-rotted organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be appropriately added to the soil to provide the nutrients needed for rooting.
4. Control temperature and humidity.
Suitable temperature and humidity are one of the key factors for the rooting of tiger piran cuttings. The temperature range between 20-30 and the humidity are kept between 70%-80%, which is conducive to promoting the rapid rooting of tiger piran. Transparent plastic film can be used to cover the surface of the potting soil to maintain humidity, and pay attention to ventilation to avoid too high or too low temperature.
5. Provide proper lighting.
Tiger pirans need plenty of light for photosynthesis, but they need to be kept out of direct sunlight during cuttings to avoid damage to the plants. You can choose a suitable location indoors for placement, and pay attention to proper shading.
6. Reasonable fertilization.
When cutting tiger pills, you can apply some organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer in an appropriate amount to provide the nutrients needed for rooting. The amount of fertilizer can be gradually increased after rooting, but be careful not to over-fertilize so as not to cause harm to the plant. At the same time, some foliar fertilizer can also be sprayed appropriately to promote the growth and development of the plant.
7. Pest control.
Tiger pill orchid is susceptible to pests and diseases, such as root rot, aphids, etc., during cuttings. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to regular inspections and take timely prevention and control measures, such as spraying with pesticides and replacing potting soil. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining environmental hygiene and regularly clean up dead leaves and weeds.
8. Timely transplantation.
When the root system of the tiger pill orchid is complete and the plant is back to a healthy state, it needs to be transplanted in time. When transplanting, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of appropriate potting soil and environment, and operate according to the transplantation requirements to avoid damage to the plants. At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to strengthen the maintenance and management after transplantation to ensure the healthy growth of the plant.
In short, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of appropriate cutting time, healthy shoots, suitable soil, temperature and humidity control, appropriate light supply, reasonable fertilization, pest control and timely transplantation during the rooting period of tiger piran cuttings. Only when adequate preparation and maintenance management are made in these aspects can the success rate and survival rate of tiger piran cuttings be guaranteed.
