What is the method of geranium leaf cutting?
Today, I will explain to netizens what the method of geranium leaf cutting is and the related content of green plant propagation techniques that describe the propagation skills of geraniums. Next, the editor will introduce it.
When cutting geraniums in water, the choice of branches is very important. Do not damage the round part where the lateral branch is connected to the main stem when handling the branches. The choice of water is also important. If tap water is used, it needs to be left to stand for a while. The medium can be perlite, vermiculite, etc. For cutting, just prepare a piece of foam, make a hole in the middle, insert the branch, and fix it in the water.
1. Preparations
(1) Selection and treatment of materials: The first step is, of course, to choose the cutting material. It is necessary to select a good branch from a strong and healthy plant. When cutting it, be sure not to damage its heel. "Heel" originally means "heel of the foot," and on a branch, it refers to the round part where the lateral branch is connected to the main stem. Do not hurt it.
(2) Choice of water: Tap water can be used, but it needs to stand for a while or be exposed to sunlight for a while before use.
(3) Choice of medium: There are many options for the medium, and they all work well, such as perlite, vermiculite, etc.
2. Perform the cutting
First, prepare a piece of foam and make a small hole in the middle. Then, insert the selected branch into the central hole and then insert it into the water in the container. This uses the buoyancy of the foam to make the branch stand in the water.
3. Post-management
After cutting, it must be placed in a cool place. Be careful not to let the temperature get too high or expose it to too strong light. Keep it moist, and after about a month, the branch can take root. After the roots have formed, normal maintenance can be resumed, keeping the temperature warm. Some scattered light can be allowed. During this period, it is important to change the water and not let the water quality become too poor.
