In this case it is necessary to monitor the moisture content of the soil and the ground part of the planting material should cover the transparency of banks to create a kind of model of a mini-greenhouse.
The side roots are formed quickly if cuttings placed in water or nutrient solution. Guaranteed results can be obtained if during the procedure to follow a few subtleties:
- The roots are usually formed in the soil, where no sunlight penetrates. Therefore, a container with a solution for placing cuttings also need to choose from opaque material.
- Liquids should not be much, it should cover 2-3 buds from the bottom of them will develop adventitious roots that give rise to the root system.
- Water or nutrient solution is not changed, and add to the vessel gradually as evaporation of the liquid.
- In one container you should not put a lot of cuttings immediately, this may cause them to rot. In addition, they are less crowded develop, and some, such as honeysuckle, did not give the roots. It is better to distribute them for 3-4 pcs. 1 vessel.
- It is not necessary for the reproduction of Cherenkov choose long shoots. It is better to choose those portions of branches that are located closest to the root or stem, which cut off the stalk. Do not leave the apical bud, in this case, the new plant is actively rushed up, and the side shoots will develop weaker.
- For the same reason, the propagation is better to take the material from the side shoots of the mother plant. The buds on these cuttings will give adventitious roots.
