Method of cuttings of Euphorbia gejin

1. Preparation of matrix

Euphorbia gejin is a variety that cannot tolerate waterlogging, so the medium it needs should be breathable and cannot retain moisture. It is best to use sandy soil, which can ensure the drainage of moisture and facilitate rooting in the later stage. You can also choose pure vermiculite, the effect is also very good.

2. Cut the stem segments

Cutting the stem segment is the basis for the success of cuttings. A length of 10 cm is appropriate. Choose a Euphorbia gesneriaceae that is in good growth condition and cut a sturdy stem segment from it. It is required to have vitality and keep the length moderate, about. You cannot proceed immediately after cutting it, because white juice will still flow out from the bottom, so you cannot insert it immediately. You need to put it aside to let the juice flow out, and then dry it in the sun for a while to make it slightly dry. Then you can start cutting.

3. Start the operation

Prepare the medium, add water to keep it moist, and make sure it contains a certain amount of moisture to ensure rooting. Insert the selected stem segment into it, not too deep, just make sure it does not fall over.

4. Subsequent maintenance

After inserting the stem segment, it is not over yet, and attention should be paid to the subsequent maintenance and management. Placing it under bright light can ensure the synthesis of nutrients, and it cannot be kept in the dark all the time. Although it is drought tolerant, it still needs additional water.
