Detailed Explanation of Key Points of Water Cuttage Propagation Technique for Flowers

Water is also a good substrate. Water cuttage is suitable for flowers that root easily in water. Water cuttage is hygienic and convenient, very suitable for household propagation of a small number of flowers. Generally, an ordinary canning jar or similar is used as the water cuttage container, and the mouth of the container is fitted with a foam stopper with a hole to hold the cutting in place.

The specific method is: in the growing season, select a tender shoot or semi-lignified branch of about 3 nodes, keep 2~4 leaves on the upper part of the branch, cut the lower end diagonally with a knife into a horseshoe shape, then insert it into a container filled with water, with the insertion depth being 1/3~1/2 of the branch length, and keep the water temperature at about 23 degrees. After insertion, place them according to the habits of the flowers in a spot with bright scattered light or slanting light respectively, avoiding overly strong light, and change the water 2 times a week. When the new roots grow to 1~2 cm, they should be potted promptly. After potting, maintain relatively high humidity and let them go through an adaptation process, which helps improve the survival rate.
