Cutting propagation of Sedum rotundifolia

Prepare

This method of propagation allows the plant to grow roots quickly and does not require the use of any hormones. What we need to prepare before cuttings is to select a relatively healthy plant that is well-growing and free of pests and diseases, and cut off a stem segment of about 10 cm for later use. Cut off the leaves below the stem and place it in a cool place to dry for a day or two. For soil, you can use river sand or peat soil in a ratio of 1:1. The container is usually a flower pot or a plug tray.

Cuttings

When taking cuttings, place the cuttings 4 cm deep in the soil. In summer, use a shade net to block the strong sunlight. Spray the plants with water frequently to keep the soil slightly moist. Once the new roots have grown well, you can remove the shade net and the soil will need to be a little drier.

Maintenance

In summer, the cuttings will generally take root seven days after they are taken, and the plants will begin to grow after three or four weeks. Some plants will grow side buds, while others will continue to grow along the top. It should be noted that you should not over-water when taking cuttings, and the soil used must have good drainage and should be kept slightly dry. In terms of light, it generally requires 12 to 14 hours a day.

Well, after seeing these operations, do you have some experience?
