The cutting method of lipstick chlorophytum comosum mainly includes the following steps: 1. Select the cutting time
The cutting of lipstick chlorophytum comosum should be carried out in its growing season, and spring and autumn are the best seasons. The most suitable time for cuttings is from March to April in spring and from September to October in autumn. In these two periods, the temperature is moderate, which is conducive to the growth and rooting of lipstick chlorophytum comosum. 2、 Prepare soil
Lipstick chlorophytum comosum likes loose, breathable, fertile and well drained acidic soil. Before cutting, it is necessary to prepare such soil. It can be made by mixing materials such as humus soil, garden soil, coarse sand, perlite, sawdust, etc. Before potting, it is recommended to lay a layer of small gravel at the bottom of the pot to increase soil permeability. 3、 Choose a tassel
The cuttings should be cut from healthy and plump mother plants, and healthy and disease-free branches should be selected. The appropriate length for cutting branches is between 7-10 centimeters, and the leaves on the branches should be removed, leaving only 2-3 leaves at the top. After processing the branches, they can be soaked in rooting powder for half an hour, which is beneficial for the rooting of the branches. You can also soak in a 50% carbendazim 600 solution for 15 minutes for disinfection, and then apply rooting powder. 4、 Carry out cuttings
Insert the processed branches into the prepared soil. Because the branches of lipstick chlorophytum comosum are very thin, you can use chopsticks to drill a hole in the soil, then put the branches into the soil, and then use your hands to gently compact the soil, so that the branches and the soil are in close contact. The recommended depth for insertion is 4 to 5 centimeters. After cutting, observe the dryness and humidity of the soil. If the soil is too dry, a small amount of water needs to be poured in to keep it moist. But be careful not to accumulate water, so as not to cause the cuttings to rot. 5、 Post cutting management
After cutting, put the lipstick chlorophytum comosum under cool and ventilated conditions to avoid direct sunlight. In general, the plant can adapt to the new environment in about a week, and its roots will slowly grow out in about 10 days. After that, you can gradually give lipstick chlorophytum comosum proper light. During the rooting period, it is important to keep the soil moist and also pay attention to temperature control. The most suitable cutting temperature is between 18 ℃ and 25 ℃. Also pay attention to regularly spraying fungicides to prevent bacterial infections. 6、 Transplanting
When the lipstick chlorophytum comosum cuttings grow two new leaves, they can be transplanted. When transplanting, be careful and cautious when digging out the cuttings to avoid damaging the root system. Then transplant it into a new flowerpot, fill it with prepared soil and compact it. After transplanting, it is necessary to water it promptly and place it in a cool and ventilated place to slow down the seedlings. After adapting to the new environment, gradually provide normal management and maintenance.
Through the above steps, the cutting survival rate of chlorophytum comosum lipstick can be effectively improved. During the cutting process, attention should be paid to selecting the appropriate time, preparing suitable soil, choosing healthy cuttings, carrying out cutting correctly, and doing a good job in post cutting management.
