Cyclamen cutting method

1. Cutting materials

First, choose a strong plant. Find its rhizome, the place with brown buds on it is called its "fallen roots". Use sharp scissors to cut it diagonally along this spot. This is done to allow the roots to have a larger contact surface. Later, when it is transplanted, the area it can absorb water and nutrients will be larger.

2. Material processing

Prepare rooting water and add some vinegar to it. After that, put the cut materials in it to soak. This is to grow thin roots. After about half a day, you can take it out for cuttings.

3. Choice of substrate

Choose loose soil with rich nutrients, good air permeability and drainage.

4. Take cuttings

Prepare the pot by filling it about one-third with soil and inserting the rhizome. Fill in some more soil. Afterwards, water thoroughly.

5. Subsequent maintenance

(1) After cutting, you can sprinkle some wood ash on the surface of the soil. This can promote the survival of the cuttings and also promote their subsequent growth.

(2) Also pay attention to the ambient temperature, which should be around 15 degrees. Don't make it too high, otherwise the evaporation will be too fast and the water will be lost quickly. The plant at this time has not fully adapted to the environment, which is not conducive to its growth.

(3) Place it in a shaded place. If the light is too strong, shade must be provided.
