The cutting operation is the same as growing flowers. It can be said to be simple or difficult, but the main thing is to be careful so that plants can grow better. Friends who are new to flower gardening may have questions about cuttings. What should be done during cutting operations and preparatory work? Today we will start with the soil for cuttings. Once the preparations are done, the follow-up will be very simple.

First of all, Huahua would like to introduce to you what types of soil are used to prepare cuttings. What we can usually see are humus soil, vermiculite, sand, peat, perlite, etc. There must be more than just three types of soil for cutting plants. It is made of one type of soil material, but is formed by the combination of multiple types of soil. The softer soils are humus soil and garden soil. These two soils will account for a larger proportion when mixing, and they are common soils.

The remaining vermiculite, peat perlite, etc., are They occupy a relatively small proportion in the ratio. Their function is to help the soil increase the air permeability of the soil, so that the roots of the plants can breathe well. They have good water permeability and are not prone to waterlogging during breeding. So now that we know these soil types, how should we compare them?

Then start with what the plant you are cutting is get up. We all know that each plant has its own habits. Whether we are cutting or cultivating, we cannot treat them in the same way and treat them differently. Some plants prefer drier soil, so they can mix garden soil with sand and add some vermiculite; while some plants pay attention to the moisture of the soil, so the proportion of sand can be appropriately reduced, or even no need to add sand.

In addition, Huahua also wants to say that the result of this cutting is not The success of the cutting is determined only by the soil. The success of the cutting is inseparable from the health of the plant's branches, the local climate temperature and humidity, and the moisture of the soil. These multiple factors determine the success of the cutting. For cutting plant cultivation, the mentality of us flower growers is also very important. We cannot rush for success. It takes hundreds of days and nights for a branch to grow into a potted plant.
