Time selection: It is best to carry out cuttings from April to May, as the climate is suitable and conducive to rooting.
Cut cuttings: Choose cuttings that are strong and free from diseases and insect pests. Each section is about 13 cm. Dip rooting powder at the base.
Preparation matrix: Prepare soft, breathable and well-drained soil, which must be disinfected before use.
Make cuttings: Poke a few holes on the surface of the substrate, then put the cuttings in, compact the soil and water it thoroughly.
Post-care: Reasonable temperature control, timely replenishing of water, roots will take root soon.
1. Cutting time
Cutting hosta is best done in spring from April to May, because the temperature during this period has stabilized, which is more suitable for the plant, and the hosta is also in the peak growth season, and the plant is active inside High, the cuttings can take root faster, have a high survival rate, and are more convenient and worry-free to manage.
2. Cutting method
Cuttings: Cuttings must be strong and free of diseases and insect pests. The length of each section is about 13 cm. After cutting, properly trim the lower leaves to reduce water and nutrient evaporation, and then apply rooting powder on the cut area for later use. Rooting powder can promote the rapid rooting of hosta branches.
Preparation of substrate: Hostas do not have high requirements for soil, but when propagating by cuttings and propagating , it is best to prepare a soft, breathable, and well-drained substrate. It is best to mix more river sand to improve air and water permeability and water retention capacity. , which facilitates management and facilitates rooting. Note that the prepared substrate must be sterilized before use to avoid the presence of insect eggs or germs.
Carry out cuttings: When cutting, first poke a small hole on the surface of the substrate and insert the hole with a wooden stick or chopsticks. The specific number will depend on the number of cuttings prepared. Then insert the cuttings into the hole, compact the surrounding soil, and water it once to allow the cuttings and substrate to soak. However, there should be no accumulation of water, otherwise the cuttings will easily rot.
Post-care: Hosta flowers like a warm and well-ventilated environment, and it is best to control the temperature between 20-25°C. Don't bask in the sun before taking root. Just keep it in a cool place. Replenish water when the soil is dry. After the roots have taken root, increase the light and get more sun. Usually, if the environment is suitable, it will take 20-30 days for the plant to take root and survive.
