How to reproduce with aerial roots, can Monstera be propagated with aerial roots

It is not difficult to propagate monstera, it is a climbing plant in itself, as long as its stem grows, you can cut off the stem section by section and use it for stem cuttings propagation. If the monstera has side buds, it can also be propagated with side bud branches.

The use of aerial roots for propagation, it is necessary to choose the right time, a good climate environment can be conducive to rooting, convenient for later reproduction. If you use aerial roots to propagate, it is best to maintain the temperature between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, so it is best to choose the time in March and April in spring, and the survival rate will be relatively high. The climate varies from region to region, and the time can be adjusted slightly.

Observe the growth of the entire plant, determine the location of the aerial roots, and then cut down from the position close to the base to cut 3-4 segments of the aerial roots. Do not cut the cuttings immediately after cutting, and put them in a ventilated place next to them to dry.

There are not too many requirements for the choice of pots, they do not need to be too big, they can be with drainage holes at the bottom. The soil should be selected well, requiring good ventilation and drainage, so that the soil quality can be conducive to rooting, and it should be exposed to the sun and disinfected before use.

Bury the treated branches in the potting soil, properly watering and moisturizing, maintain the appropriate temperature around the area, and after a period of time, the position of the aerial roots will sprout and take root, and they can be moved to the new potting soil for planting, and reasonable light and water and fertilizer will be given.

Monstera can be propagated with aerial roots, generally around April is the best, prepare loose and breathable, well-drained nutrient soil, put the potting soil below the aerial roots of Monstera, keep the soil slightly moist, and wait until its aerial roots are firmly rooted in the soil, you can be divided to plant and maintain.

1. Whether it is possible

Monstera can be propagated with aerial roots, its aerial roots can absorb moisture in the air, the plant likes to grow in a warm environment, according to its growth habits, the use of aerial roots to reproduce, it is best to carry out around April, when the climate and environment are suitable, and the survival rate is relatively high.

2. Prepare the soil

When using the method of aerial rooting to propagate, prepare suitable soil first, and it is best to use loose and breathable, well-drained and fertile nutrient soil as the substrate, which is conducive to the growth and development of plant aerial roots, and should not use heavy soil, otherwise its aerial roots are difficult to breathe and grow.

3. Reproduction method

Put the potting soil under the mother plant of the monstera with aerial roots, the potting soil should be closer to the roots of the aerial roots, and then when the aerial roots grow, they will penetrate into the soil, at this time we should water reasonably to keep the soil slightly moist, and soon the aerial roots can grow firmly in the soil.

4. Regular maintenance

When there are 5-7 true leaves on the stem of the aerial root of the monstera, we can cut it from the mother plant with the aerial root, and then maintain it in a semi-shaded and warm ventilated place, replace the appropriate pot according to the size of the plant, and apply thin fertilizer to it regularly, and soon the plant can grow.

Monstera is generally propagated with aerial roots in spring 3 and 4 months, first of all, it is necessary to prepare a pot with a diameter of 15cm and a depth of 18 20cm, mix it with humus, perlite and garden soil in accordance with the ratio of 6:2:2 to make a substrate, from the plant near the base, intercept 3 4 solar terms from the top and bury it in the pot soil, keep the pot soil moist and germinate after bursting the pot, wait for the aerial roots to germinate in the sun, watering and fertilizing and careful maintenance.

1. Breeding time

There are many different breeding methods of monstera, usually you can use seeding, cuttings and other propagation methods, in fact, you can also use aerial roots to propagate monstera in spring 3 April, because the climate of each region is different, so the breeding time will also change, you need to maintain the temperature between 18 and 28.

2. Use potting soil

When it comes to how to propagate with aerial roots, first of all, you need to prepare a pot with a diameter of 15cm and a depth of 18 20cm, and the bottom of the pot needs to have drainage holes to help the aerial roots breathe and drain, and it is best to mix humus, perlite and garden soil in accordance with the ratio of 6:2:2 to make the substrate to reproduce and grow the aerial roots.

3. Buried aerial roots

First of all, from the monstera near the base, from the top of the 3 4 solar terms roots, can be placed in a cool and ventilated place for a day, and then buried in the prepared pot soil, the appropriate amount of watering to keep it moist, waiting for the air roots in the pot soil germination pot, can be separated and planted into a new pot soil.

4. Management measures

After the aerial roots of the monstera are buried in the pot soil, it is necessary to properly water the pot soil, keep the pot soil moist at all times, do not fertilize it at this time, wait for the germination and propagation of potted branches, and when the aerial roots germinate in the new pot soil, then put it in the sun to water and fertilize and maintain it carefully.

Monstera can be propagated by sowing, cuttings and branching, and when propagating by cuttings, it is necessary to prune the growing and robust branches and disinfect the cuttings. Cuttings method: seedbed selection, can be mixed with humus, sandy soil, garden soil to make a substrate for cultivation; To maintain the environment, it is necessary to stabilize the room temperature at about 20 to ensure air circulation; Water and fertilizer management, watering 2 3 times a week in spring and autumn, and 1 water per day in summer.

In order to improve the success rate of propagation, it is generally recommended to use cuttings to propagate. When cuttings, it is necessary to select the strong branches from the seedlings, and then use the sterilized sharp scissors to prune the stems with 2 3 nodes under the lower branches, and finally place the stems in the rooting solution and soak them for 20 minutes to speed up the rooting speed of the plants.

1. Seedbed selection

Monstera is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy soil, in the soil mixing, sandy soil, humus soil, garden soil can be mixed into a cultivation substrate, the dried leaves are inserted into the soil, appropriate watering, to ensure that the soil is in a slightly moist state. Before cuttings, the soil needs to be sterilized and disinfected to reduce the breeding of germs.

2. Maintain the environment

Monstera is suitable for growing in a warm environment, the pot needs to be placed in a ventilated environment to maintain the room temperature, and the room temperature is stabilized at about 20, when the temperature is high, it is necessary to open the window frequently for ventilation to ensure the circulation of indoor and outdoor air, speed up the germination of seedlings, and avoid the deterioration of plant growth.

3. Water and fertilizer management

In the process of maintaining monstera in the later stage, it is also necessary to apply water and fertilizer reasonably, in spring and autumn, it needs to be watered 2 3 times a week, 1 time in summer, and every 1 week in winter. During the vigorous growth period, thin liquid fertilizer needs to be applied every 20 days to supplement the nutrients needed for the growth of the seedlings.

The breeding method of monstera is as follows:

1. Cuttings propagation, the cuttings of Monstera basa are buried stem segments, to obtain cuttings, first cut off the stems on the mother plant, retain 3 to 4 stem nodes of the mother plant stems, so that the nodes of the hidden buds germinate, and after the stem is cut, 2 new stems can be extracted to continue to grow and let the air seep long;

2. Dividing propagation, carried out in summer and autumn, the side branches of the large monstera are split down in the whole section, with part of the aerial roots, and directly planted in the barrel or bowl, which not only has a high survival rate, but also has a fast forming effect;

3. Sowing and propagation, Monstera sinensis blooms in summer, in order to improve the seed setting rate, artificial ridge pollination is required, the second pollination is best at 10 o'clock and 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the pollination is high in orange power, it takes 15 months to pollinate to the seed maturity, and the seed development stage pays attention to ventilation and fertilizer and water management to promote fruit and fullness.

1. Propagation by cuttings.

Stem cuttings can be used in spring and autumn, and the best effect is from April to May in spring and September to October in autumn. Therefore, the temperature at this stage is suitable for stem incision to heal and root, and the survival is fast. The cuttings are selected from the current year's side branches with full stem tissue and strong growth, the cuttings are 20-25 cm long, the leaves at the base are cut off, the leaflets at the upper end are retained, the long aerial roots are cut off, and the short aerial roots are retained to absorb water and facilitate the hair roots.

The bed is made with a mixed substrate of coarse sand and peat or humus, and the air humidity is maintained at 25-27 and high after cutting, and the rooting begins about 1 month after cutting. In order to accelerate the growth of seedlings, keep the room temperature above 10, strengthen fertilizer and water management, and the seedlings can be used as commodities in the second year after cutting. If you need to hang decorations, you can prepare a wooden frame or iron frame container, fill it with palm skin, put it with fertile humus, and plant the rooted monstera back bamboo as a hanging pot product.

2. Dividing propagation.

In summer and autumn, the side branches of the large monstera are split off in the whole section, and some aerial roots are planted, which is directly planted in a wooden barrel or bowl, which not only has a high survival rate, but also has a fast forming effect.

You can use cuttings from a section of the stem of the monstera.
