Lipstick plant cuttings: with the right technique, a pot can be full within 1 month

The lipstick plant's unusual red flowers, paired with its green leaves, make for a great ornamental display. Below are the cutting techniques for the lipstick plant!

Lipstick plant cuttings are generally taken in spring and autumn.

Cutting techniques:

(1). Cut healthy branches into sections 7~10cm long, keep 2~3 leaves at the upper end of each cutting, and place them in a shady spot to let the wounds dry.

(2). Soil: choose loose, breathable, well-draining sandy soil; a mix of tree fern fiber + perlite + coarse sand can be used to make the growing medium.

(3). Use a chopstick to make holes of similar size and suitable spacing in the soil, then fix the cuttings in place and plant them in the soil. Keep the soil at a certain moisture and temperature, provide about 50~60% light, and roots and shoots will appear in 1 month.

(4). Maintain an appropriate room temperature. After the cuttings have rooted and established, transplant them separately into pots, with 4~6 plants per pot.
