Tips for cuttings of money vine

Preparation for cutting of money vine

Soil selection

A cultivation medium with good drainage and air permeability is needed. You can mix leaf mold + perlite, and if conditions permit, you can add some vermiculite.

Equipment preparation

The sterilized knife can be wiped with cotton dipped in 75% alcohol, or burned with fire. Let it cool before cutting the branches. Be careful not to hurt yourself or the branches; use a watering can to ensure that the water is sprayed evenly.

Steps for cuttings of vine

Branch selection

Cut strong young branches into several sections, with at least 4-6 leaves to ensure nutrient supply before the plant takes root. The incision should be neat. Uneven incisions are easily infected by bacteria or fungi. Place it in a cool place to dry.

Basin

Lay the trimmed branches flat on the soil surface. If there are aerial roots on the branches, bury the aerial roots directly into the soil to increase the survival rate of cuttings.

Growth

The money vine is a semi-shade plant, and the branches that have just been grafted have not yet grown roots and cannot absorb water on their own. The most important thing at this stage is to retain water, so it should be placed in a backlit or scattered light place and wait for it to grow roots. Also remember to spray water on the leaves to maintain a moist environment.
