preparation of cuttings
From the middle of the stem cut with a sharp knife or shears for cutting three buds (approximately 15 cm long). Upper section make smooth, lower by 45 degrees (1 cm below the kidneys). The lower leaves are removed completely, the upper half you can leave, so they did not take the juice and nutrients.
Sharing a day put in a jar with treated (not boiling!) Or spring water. Adding according to the instructions of the root or IAA. One can take advantage of this growth stimulant as honey (half teaspoon of a glass of water), or aloe juice (1 part of juice to 9 parts water).
Planting in the ground. The first method - a classic. After one day stalk dipped in kornevin and put in a pre-prepared soil (you can buy it in the store), so that the top left one or two buds. Then thoroughly watered and cover glass jar. Make sure that your mini greenhouse ground was wet all the time (but do not pour), and the stalk of 2-3 times a day spray the water. Place it on the south windowsill. Ideal if the place is bright, but not too hot - 18-20 degrees.
We put in potatoes. In order to grow a sapling by the second method, we need the average potato. Get out of her eyes, that she did not germinate. Dip the cutting in kornevin and stuck in a potato. And then put in a jar and cover the ground as in the first method. Potatoes provide stalk moisture and nutrition, as well as protect against harmful microorganisms.
Germinated in water. You can sprout roots in cuttings in water. To do this, leave it in the pot with water for two weeks (in the bank the water should be changed daily) and expect to see the roots. Then disembark it in the ground in the same way as in the previous methods.
When the bush appear young shoots and leaves, do not rush to remove the jar, accustom shoots to dry air slowly, gradually adding time. Do not forget to spray the bush with water. If there are buds, they must be removed to allow the roots and stems grow stronger. If you want to put a plant in the country, it would be best to plant it in June. Until the fall of the young bush will have time to take root.
