🍀 Let me tell you the key to 100% survival of cuttings.
🍀 Three elements: temperature, humidity, and sterility.
🍀 Temperature: It needs to be controlled for a long time, so it is best to choose autumn and winter.
🍀 Humidity: It should be noted that it can be slightly wetted for the first 7 days, but only needs to be watered once every 3 days.
🍀 Sterility: This is the most important point. Choosing autumn and winter is actually for a sterile environment, but in addition to choosing the season, some sterilization also needs to be done.
1. You can choose sterile soil, such as the red jade soil in the picture, or free river sand;
2. Use a diluted solution of formic acid and chloramphenicol for sterilization, as long as it is produced by a reputable manufacturer
Instructions for using Chloramphenicol: Dilute according to the instructions, soak the cuttings for 30 minutes, insert them into the substrate, use Chloramphenicol for watering, and then water again after 3 days.
🍀 In addition, indomethacin and naphthylacetic acid can also be used to promote the growth of main and lateral roots. It is necessary to pay attention to the concentration, and one use is sufficient. If the concentration is too high or used multiple times, it will inhibit growth. Usually, sterilization is the main method.
🏆 Tip: Here’s a little secret: You can use some loose dry grass to cover it. It must be light and not pressed down, which is moisturizing and breathable, much better than using a plastic bag.
