The cutting time of chiguicheng should be chosen in the growing season as much as possible. It grows rapidly and recovers very quickly. It is suggested that the cutting time should be chosen in the spring and autumn seasons. The temperature is very stable and can be maintained at about 20-25 ℃, which is also the most favorable temperature range for rooting. Humidity is also very suitable, humidity is good, conducive to wound healing and later growth.
Before cutting, appropriate substrate should be prepared first. Like other plants, the substrate is mainly air permeable, without water accumulation. It can be mixed with sand and basic fertilizer. Before use, it should be dried, disinfected and sterilized to prevent affecting the later growth. In addition to the substrate, we also need to prepare sterilized knives, rooting powder, flower pot containers, etc.
The roots of chiguicheng are easy to sprout, which can be directly picked as cuttings, which is more convenient and has higher rooting rate. You can also cut strong branches from the mother plant, and then put them aside to air slightly, so that the cut part will dry, which can prevent the wound from rotting.
Dip the treated branches into the rooting powder, then insert them into the soil, place them in a well ventilated and bright place, spray water properly to keep moisture, generally, the cuttings will take root in 2-3 weeks.
