Asparagus plumosus, also known as cloud pine, is named for its elegant posture, bamboo-like stems, and evergreen leaves. Many friends keep Asparagus plumosus at home, and today, I will give you a brief introduction on how to propagate Asparagus plumosus through cuttings.
I. Cutting Treatment
Select branches that are well-grown and have a higher degree of lignification. Make a small cut at the junction where the branch and root meet, and let it ventilate for half a day. Then, wrap the cut with moss. During this period, maintain moisture. After about half a month, when a healing knot appears at the cut, you can remove the moss, cut the branch close to the root, leaving two large branches and two-thirds of the small branches.
II. Preparation Before Planting
You can choose nutrient-rich soil rich in humus, which is loose in texture and has good drainage. Prepare a cloth bag measuring 8-10CM in length and 6CM in width, with one cutting per bag. Fill the bag with soil and make a small hole in the center of the bag surface with a stick.
III. Planting
Insert the cutting into the hole about 2CM, and pack the soil tightly. Arrange the planted bags along the edge of the flowerpot, placing a wide-mouthed glass bottle in the center. Take a piece of cheesecloth measuring 60-70CM, wrap it around the outside of the planted bag, and put the ends of the cloth strip into the glass bottle. Fill the pot with soil, leaving the bottle mouth slightly higher than the soil surface, water thoroughly, and fill the glass bottle with water. During the cutting period, supply water to the cuttings with the water in the glass bottle.
