There are five methods for rapid rooting of green radish after cuttings. You can choose cuttings in winter, hydroponic cuttings, or cuttings on sponges, or covering the cuttings with a film to seal them. You can also use them to seal the cuttings. Soak the roots in rooting water and then make soil culture cuttings. The above methods can make green radish take root quickly and grow into new plants.

1. Winter cuttings

Winter cuttings are one of the methods for rapid rooting of Pothos cuttings. The low temperature and cool climate environment in winter is very suitable for the growth of Pothos branches and satisfies the shade-loving properties of Pothos. . After the green radish is cut in winter, it can take root quickly in about half a month, advancing its growth period by one stage.

2. Hydroponic cuttings

Cut a branch with aerial roots from the mother plant of Pothos, control the length to about 7-10cm, and then remove and trim the leaves. Just keep the top leaf. Change the water every 3 days and dilute an aspirin 50 times with water. The green radish branches will grow new roots in about 10 days.

3. Sponge cuttings

You can also cut the branches of the pothos from the mother plant, trim them and then dry them. Then soak the sponge in water to keep it moist, and then insert the branches into the prepared sponge to a depth of about 3cm. In about a month, the cuttings will grow new roots.

4. Sealed cuttings

Sealed cuttings are the fastest way to propagate pothos cuttings, but they are generally less used. Cut off 3cm long branches, remove the leaves, and then insert the branches into the soil. Pay attention to bury most of the branches with soil, water them and cover them with film. They will take root in 5 to 7 days in a well-lit and ventilated area.

5. Soil-cultured cuttings

When performing soil-cultured cuttings, trim the 10cm-long semi-lignified branches, leaving only the upper leaves. Then soak the branches in rooting water. After 5 minutes, take out the cuttings and insert them into the soil. After watering them thoroughly, take care of them. New roots will successfully grow in about 15 to 20 days.

Conservation

1. Lighting

The original growth conditions of Pothos are in woods shaded by towering trees, facing the sun. Not strong. But in the north in autumn and winter, in order to make up for the lack of temperature and photosynthesis, its illumination should be increased.

Method: Place the green radish indoors in a place with the best sunlight, or move it to a sealed balcony to bask in the sun at noon. At the same time, you should try to open windows as little as possible when the temperature is low, because the leaves may be frostbitten in a very short period of time.

Indoor cultivation can be placed near a window, but direct sunlight should be avoided. Too much sunlight will burn the leaves of Pothos, and too much shade will make the beautiful spots on the leaves disappear. Generally, Pothos will grow best if it receives four hours of scattered light. Therefore, pothos can be placed indoors in a sunny place all year round. In a dark room, it should be moved to an environment with strong light every half month to recover for a period of time, otherwise the internodes will easily grow and the leaves will become smaller.

Pothos can be placed near the east or north window sill in spring, summer and autumn, and in the south-facing window in winter. If it is placed in an environment with too much light for a long time, not only will the vine stems become elongated, the internodes will become longer, and the plant shape will be sparse, but the yellow and white stripes on the leaves will become smaller and lighter, or even the spots will disappear completely. Fades to green. If you want to cultivate it outdoors, you should pay attention to shading, especially in summer, you should pay attention to prevent direct sunlight. Otherwise, the new leaves will become smaller, the leaf color will be dim, and the leaf edges will be easily burned.

2. Temperature

In the north, pothos can safely survive the winter when the room temperature is above 10°C. When the room temperature is above 20°C, pothos can grow normally. In general, it is not a big problem for families to reach this temperature. What needs to be paid attention to is to avoid excessive temperature difference, and also to keep the leaves away from the heating equipment.

3. Humidity

Refers to the moisture content of the air in the environment where plants grow. Under the conditions of ensuring normal temperature, increasing humidity is extremely beneficial to the growth of plants.

The following methods can be used to increase humidity. Keep the plants close to the humidifier. The humidifier should be open for more than 5 hours a day. The plants can enjoy the water mist sprayed by the humidifier. Use a sprayer adjusted to the mist scale to spray water on the leaves, stems and aerial roots of the plants. , several times a day; maintain an appropriate amount of water in the flower pot tray and increase the local temperature of the plant through its evaporation.

Gently wipe the leaves with a cold wet towel or toilet paper or apply it lightly on the leaves for a short period of time (1-2 hours a day); cover the plants with a transparent plastic film to create the effect of a small greenhouse. , replenishing the water of plants by evaporating water vapor in the soil, no more than 2 hours a day, too long will affect the ventilation and photosynthesis of plants.

4. Water

The amount of watering in autumn and winter should be strictly controlled based on room temperature. Before heating, the temperature is low and the plant's soil evaporates slowly. Watering should be reduced and the amount of water should be controlled between 1/4-1/2 of the original amount. Even after heating, watering should not be done too frequently. Water should be poured into the pot less and water should seep through the brown silk. In addition, water should be sprayed on the aerial root growth area of ??the brown column to reduce insufficient water absorption by the roots due to rapid evaporation.

It is better to water in winter after it has been dried for a day. Water that is too cold can easily damage the roots. When growing in water, the amount of water should not be too much, just submerge the roots. If the amount of water is too much, the stems and leaves will easily rot.

5. Soil

It can grow well under bright scattered light indoors in winter, with strong stem nodes and gorgeous leaves. During the growth period, the water requirements are high. In addition to replenishing water to the pot soil normally, water should also be sprayed on the leaves frequently. For post-vine cultivation, more water should be sprayed on the brown hair pillars so that the brown hairs can fully absorb water for supply. Absorbed by aerial roots around the stem. You can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every 2 weeks or spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every week to make the leaves green and the markings more vivid.

Pothos likes moisture. It is advisable to water regularly during the growing season to keep the pot soil moist. Avoid dry pot soil, otherwise it will easily cause yellow leaves and poor plant shape. Excessive watering will cause water accumulation in the pot soil, which can easily lead to root rot and dead leaves. Especially in winter when the room temperature is low, you need to pay more attention to controlling watering.

While fully watering in summer, you should also pay attention to spraying water on the leaves frequently. In winter, when the climate is dry, it is also necessary to spray the leaves with warm water every 4-5 days to wash away the dust on the leaves to help keep the leaves bright and green.

6. Fertilization

In the autumn and winter in the north, most plants grow slowly or even stop growing, so fertilization should be reduced. Before winter, spray liquid inorganic fertilizer mainly once every 15 days. After winter, fertilization is mainly done by spraying on the leaves through the stomata on the leaves. The fertilizer is absorbed through the stomata on the leaves and the fertilizer effect can be directly applied to the leaves. Special fertilizers should be used for foliar fertilizers. Ordinary inorganic fertilizers are not easily absorbed by the leaves. Peking University's Flower Protector series and Hana Ichiban produced in Japan can be used as foliar fertilizers.

7. Shaping

Plant 4-5 plants in each pot or directly cut them, and set up a brown column in the middle of the pot to facilitate the growth of pothos. Shaping pruning is done in spring. When the stems and vines cover the palm pillars and the tips exceed the palm pillars by about 20 cm, cut off 40 cm of the stem tips of 2-3 of the plants. When new buds and leaves sprout after the short cutting, cut off the stem tips of the remaining plants.

If the entire plant or the lower half of the plant is defoliated due to freezing in winter or other reasons, half of the stems and vines of the plant can be shortened by 1/2, and the other half of the stems and vines can be shortened by 2/3 or more. 3/4, stagger the height of the cut so that the new leaves growing under the cut can quickly cover the brown pillars.
