Pothos cuttings method, pothos cuttings method

Cuttings of branches, take scissors to cut about 4-5 cm long pothos branches, cut to ensure that each pothos has a bellflower, which is conducive to germination and growth. The soil of cuttings pothos can be configured by itself, and can be used with rotten leaves*, ceramsite and garden* according to 3:1:

The ratio of 2 can be mixed, and then add a little bean cake as a base fertilizer.

Leaf cuttings, this cutting method has high requirements for soil and nutrients, otherwise it is not easy to take root.

Before cuttings, the leaves can be cultivated in water for a period of time to allow the roots to grow before transplanting them into pots. In this way, the survival rate is guaranteed. If you want to speed up the rooting of pothos, you can use a branch dipped in rooting powder and then cuttings.

Root cuttings, use scissors to cut the root system of pothos plants, each section is about 4-5 cm long, because the root system of pothos itself is alive, so this small section is directly cut in the soil, three or four days can survive. This method is also the most reliable way to cut cuttings.

Pothos cuttings can be water cuttings can be soil cuttings, water cuttings and soil cuttings should be selected with aerial roots, water cuttings directly remove the lower leaves, and insert the 1 3 2 3 part of the cuttings into clean water; Soil cuttings: Insert 1 2 parts of the cuttings into loose soil and keep them warm and moisturized in a cool place.

Hydroponic cuttings are one of the most commonly used cuttings for pothos. Select pothos weaving branches with aerial roots, cut 10 15 cm long branches with a 45-degree oblique incision, and insert their length of 1 3 2 3 into the water in the container, and add mashed aspirin diluted 50 times to the water.

Change the water every 3 days after cuttings, clean the inner wall of the container while changing the water, and do not add nutrient solution before the cuttings grow new roots. After growing new roots, the water change time can be extended, and the nutrient solution can be added every half a month or so during the growth period, and the hot summer can not add clear water for breeding.

Pothos soil cultivation needs loose, breathable, well-drained soil, which can be used humus soil plus vermiculite or perlite, or sandy soil. Before cuttings, select semi-lignified branches, cut the most cuttings of 10 cm long branches at 45 degrees with scissors, remove the leaves of the lower part of the cuttings, keep the upper 3 or 4 leaves, and apply rooting powder to the wound.

Insert half of the cuttings into the soil, water thoroughly and place them in a cool place, keep warm and moisturize for about 20 days to take root. The pothos after rooting can not be exposed to the sun, and it can be placed in a place with astigmatism and maintained normally.

Short branch cuttings are mainly cut with semi-lignified pothos branches, the cut branches are removed and the leaves are removed, and the short branches are cut into short branches 2 3 cm long, and each short branch must have a node; Then bury most of the short branches in the loose soil, and put them in a cool position to moisten the potting soil, and soon small buds will grow from the node position, and the cuttings will be successful, and it is easy to burst the pot.

The method and steps of pothos cuttings are as follows:

Materials: scissors, hydroponic bottles.

1. Prepare the required materials. A pot of pothos, a pair of scissors, and a hydroponic bottle.

2. Cut a cuttings from the mother pothos plant. It is better to have aerial roots on the shoots, so that the survival rate will be greatly increased.

3. Cut off the pothos branches, about 7-10cm per branch. It is best to cut the incision at 45° to help increase the water absorption area.

4. Put the pruned pothos branches in a hydroponic bottle, and then add water to cover the 1 3-1 2 at the lower end of the branches. In order to ensure that pothos can take root quickly, you can also crush 1 piece of aspirin, mix it with water at a ratio of 1:1000 into a solution, and drop a few drops into a hydroponic bottle.

5. Before pothos grows roots, change the water once every 2-3 days, clean the inner wall of the hydroponic bottle while changing the water, and do not add nutrient solution. Wait until the root system of pothos grows out, about 5-7 days to change the water once, the temperature is high in summer, it is best not to add nutrient solution, otherwise it is easy to cause root rot.

Cuttings can be carried out in any season as long as the temperature is suitable. If you want it to take root as soon as possible after cuttings, then the temperature should be kept at about 15 degrees, if the temperature is too low it will be in the dormant period, too high will burn the branches, both of which are very bad for its rooting.

Before cuttings, you should prepare a relatively suitable size pot with sandy soil, and a pair of sharp scissors, if it is a home scissors may be too blunt, will cause damage to the branches, you should prepare a gardening scissors.

After it is ready, you can carry out cuttings, use scissors to cut healthy and disease-free branches on the main branch, the cut is best oblique, and to retain the aerial roots, after cutting, remove the bottom leaves and insert them into the potting soil.

Freshly cut pothos is strictly forbidden to be exposed to strong light, and it is necessary to always keep the moist potting soil, which can take root in about 20 days, and then carry out normal maintenance and management.
