Here's how you can get the moon season rooting quickly:
1.Choose healthy stems: Choose strong, pest-free plants in spring and autumn and use sharp knives or scissors to cut their stems into cuttings about 15-20 cm long. Choose new apical or lateral tips with several bone nodes on the stem as cuttings, as these are the places where the growth point is more viable.
2.Detoliation treatment: Remove part of the leaves at the bottom of the cuttings and keep 2-3 leaves to avoid water loss caused by too many leaves causing water evaporation too quickly. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the consumption of nutrients and improve the success rate of rooting.
3.Apply rooting powder: You can apply some rooting powder to the bottom of the cuttings to help promote rooting and antibacterial and antiseptic. The growth hormone in rooting powder can stimulate plant rooting and increase the success rate of rooting.
4.Prepare rooting medium: The rooting medium of monthly cuttings can choose perlite, vermiculite, river sand and other loose and permeable media, and keep the medium moist but not too wet.
5.Cuttings and cuttings: Pre-open small holes of appropriate depth in the rooting medium, gently insert the processed cuttings, and gently pat the surrounding soil with potting soil to make it firmly rooted.
6.Provide a good environment: Place the container where the cuttings are implanted in a well-ventilated environment that avoids excessive direct sunlight, and the temperature should be kept between 20-25 degrees Celsius, which is conducive to promoting the rooting of cuttings.
7.Control watering: After cuttings, pay attention to keep the rooting medium moist, but avoid excessive watering that causes root rot, and can keep the medium moist by spraying water or spraying.
8.Pay attention to the growth: closely observe the growth of cuttings, under the appropriate temperature and humidity conditions, new shoots and growth points can start to appear in about 3-4 weeks, indicating that the cuttings have successfully taken root.
In general, in order for cuttings to take root quickly, the key is to choose healthy cuttings, provide a suitable growth environment and pay attention to watering. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid over-wetting and over-drying after cuttings, and do a good job in the prevention and control of pests and diseases in time, which will help to improve the survival rate and rooting speed of cuttings.
