Can asparagus fern be propagated by cuttings?

1. Is it possible?

Asparagus fern can be propagated by cuttings, which can be done all year round, but it is best to control the temperature for cuttings between 20-30℃. The most suitable season is the transition between spring and summer.

2. Cutting method

1. Select branches: For asparagus fern cuttings, you need to choose branches with strong growth and many branches and leaves. Use a sterilized tool to make a small cut and apply a layer of fresh moss on it. Keep it moist for a while, remove the fresh moss after 10 days, and tumor-like nodules will grow at the incision.

2. Pruning branches: Keep two branches on the branch, prune off all the others, and shorten the branches by half.

3. Cutting branches: prepare a cloth bag and make a hole with a bamboo stick, and put loose soil in the bag. Insert the pruned branches to a depth of 2 cm and compact the soil.

4. Complete the cutting: wrap the cloth bag with gauze strips and place it in the center of the flowerpot. Fill it with soil, spray it with water and place it in a cool place for maintenance. It will take root in 20-30 days.
