Cutting propagation of Zebra Dieffenbachia

1. Selection of stems and leaves

It is called cuttings, and the stalks are cut into pieces with a length of 6 to 11 cm. Each piece of the stalk must have more than 3 to 4 nodes.

2. Cutting temperature

The temperature for the survival of cutting roots is 18℃~25℃. If the temperature is lower than 18℃, the roots will have difficulty surviving and the plants will grow slowly. If the temperature is higher than 25℃, the branches may oxidize and mold will easily grow. When encountering low temperatures, the cuttings need to be wrapped with plastic. When encountering high temperatures, you need to provide shade and spray mist 3 to 5 times a day. In this way, the survival temperature of the branches is ensured.

3. Cutting humidity

The humidity of the cuttings must be maintained at 75-85%, and the humidity can be increased by spraying water 3-5 times a day. On days with good weather, the stronger the light, the more times you should spray water, but not too much, as too much water will allow mold to grow and is not good for the health of the plants.

4. Cutting soil

The most important thing to pay attention to when propagating zebra dieffenbachia through cuttings is the soil. The best soil base for flowers is river sediment soil, supplemented with farmland soil, which is suitable for its growth. The sediment obtained must be repeatedly dried and sterilized before it can be used.

5. Cutting Light

Light is indispensable for every light-loving plant. The young branches of the zebra dieffenbachia naturally cannot live without the blessing of the sun, but if the exposure time is too long and the light intensity is too strong, the moisture in the branches will dissipate, making it difficult for the branches to survive. In seasons with scorching sun, sunshade protection is needed to block 50% to 80% of the sunlight. The remaining light is most suitable for the growth of cuttings.

6. Basin operation

Before putting the cuttings into the container, first spread about 4 cm of base soil, then filter it, then put 2 cm of organic fertilizer on the base soil, then put in about 4 cm of riverbed soil, and then put in the plants. Cover with sediment.

I believe that after the editor’s simple explanation, you who love green plants will have a pleasant and easy grasp of the evergreen. At the same time, the editor also hopes that when caring for the zebra evergreen, it can bring a different experience to your life.
