Rooting method of asparagus fern

1. Pruning

If you want asparagus fern to take root quickly, you need to trim its bottom first. If the branches are rootless for cuttings, you need to cut the bottom at a 45° angle to increase the area for rooting. If it is a mature plant that already has a few roots, it is also necessary to properly remove the messy small roots and shorten the main root. This will make room for new roots to grow.

2. Apply rooting powder

After pruning, you need to apply a thin layer of rooting powder to its base. This can stimulate the plant to produce some hormones, promote the synthesis of adventitious roots, and speed up its rooting. If you don't have rooting powder, you can also use rooting water to promote rooting. The specific method is to put the bottom of the plant in diluted rooting water, soak it for 20-30 minutes, then take it out and dry it.

3. Water plugging

Prepare some clean water, gently insert the treated plants into it, and fix them with stones or expanded clay. At this time, be careful to ensure that the bottom of the plant is completely submerged in water, but do not let the leaves get wet. After that, place it in an environment of about 20℃, provide weak light, and change the water regularly. It will take root soon.
