Cuttings selection of goldfish grass

When the goldfish grass seedling is about 9 cm high and has 8-10 true leaves, pick the heart. When picking the heart, leave 4-6 true leaves in the upper part, and remove the tender head with 4 true leaves in the upper part to reproduce as cuttings

Preparation of goldfish grass matrix

For the selection of cutting matrix, two parts of sandy loam and one part of plant ash can be used for fine screening after being fully mixed. Wash the seedling box or shallow basin with water, then add about 2 / 3 of the screened coarse soil, spread about 2 cm of fine soil on it, and spray water appropriately

Cuttage method of goldfish grass

When cutting, first take a fine bamboo stick to drill holes in the substrate, insert cuttings while drilling, and gently compact the culture soil at the base of cuttings with your fingers. The cutting density is about 2.5cmx3cm, and it is better to encounter the leaves of cuttings without overlapping. After spraying enough water, place it in a cool place for curing

Post planting management of goldfish grass

After cutting, spray water to the basin soil and cuttings twice every morning and evening to keep the basin soil moist. In cloudy days, there is generally no need to water. If the basin soil turns white, you can water it appropriately. Under the temperature of 15-20 ℃, roots can be produced in about ten days. After rooting, the seedlings can be transplanted after they recover their growth

In the growth period, goldfish grass often sends out lateral buds. At this time, cutting can be carried out as long as the temperature is appropriate. Buds with 3 cm long and 4 leaves can generally survive cutting. If the young head of the first heartpick is cultured as a single parent after cutting survival, its flowering period is basically close to that of the mother plant< span>
