Methods and precautions for propagation of Schefflera arborvitae by cuttings

Schefflera propagation method

Goosefoot is a herbaceous plant of the Araceae family and the genus Anthurium. It has aerial roots and a very short stem, which is sometimes basically invisible. Goosefoot can be propagated by division and cuttings.

How to propagate Goosefoot by cuttings

The cutting time of Schefflera arborvitae is from March to September every year. This is the spring and autumn season with stable temperature. The cutting of Schefflera arborvitae can accelerate the rooting speed and has a high survival rate. The best planting time is from March to April every spring. The specific cutting method of Schefflera arborvitae is as follows:

1. First, choose a strong and full goose palm leaf with a length of 5-6 cm. Place it in a dry and cool place for several days to let the cut dry.

2. Then insert it into a loose substrate. The substrate needs to be exposed to strong light in advance and disinfected. The planting depth is 1/3 or 1/2 of the length of the cut segment. At this time, you can water it thoroughly.

3. If you insert the cut segments into sand or vermiculite, be careful not to turn it upside down. Keep half of it exposed above the soil surface and keep it slightly moist. When the maintenance environment temperature is between 15 and 20 degrees, it will take about a month to take root, rhizomes will grow at the base, and gradually grow into a new plant.

Precautions for cuttings of Schefflera

Goosefoot likes an environment with good light, so it is best to place it in a place where it can be directly exposed to sunlight. If the maintenance environment does not allow it, the plant can be moved to a place closer to the sun. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves of the plant will turn yellow.
