Flower friends who want to cultivate Hupilan can use leaf cutting method. In fact, the method of cutting leaves for propagation of Hupilan is very simple. As long as the leaves of Hupilan are well treated and suitable pot soil is prepared, reasonable cutting can take root and sprout. The whole operation process only needs four steps. Proper maintenance is required after cutting.

1. Cutting propagation method of Huperzia serrata leaves 1, cutting leaves

First, use sharp scissors or blades to cut the thick leaves from the mother plant of Hupilan, then cut the leaves into short sections, each section is about 6 ~ 7 cm, and mark them up and down, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound.

Step 2 prepare pot soil

Prepare a flowerpot of the right size. The soil should be fertile and loose sandy loam with good air permeability and drainage. You can properly mix some sand into the soil to make the leaves take root faster.

3. Cut into the soil

Cut the bottom of the leaves into the prepared pot soil, making sure that the bottom is facing down, which has been marked before. Each leaf should be inserted into the soil about 3 ~ 4 cm, neither too shallow nor too deep, otherwise it will affect rooting.

4. Maintenance and rooting

After cutting, it is necessary to pour some water, but not too much, and keep the soil moist. Then put it in a cool and ventilated place for curing, the temperature is controlled between 18 ~ 25℃, and the root system grows for about one month. The cutting propagation method of Huperzia serrata leaves is very simple, and there is little later maintenance.

Second, the maintenance skills of Hupilan 1 and proper watering.

When watering Hupilan, we should stick to the principle of being dry but not wet, and don't water it too much, otherwise the roots will rot easily. It is enough to water it 2 ~ 3 times a week in spring and autumn, once every two days in summer1~, but to reduce the amount of water, water it once a week in winter. When watering, don't water the leaf core. If water accumulates, the plant will rot.

2. Proper lighting

The growth of Picea macrophylla needs some light. If the leaves are shaded for a long time, the leaves of Hupilan will be dull or even yellow and withered. Be sure to give Hupilan proper light, and you can usually put it in a place with sufficient indoor sunlight scattering for maintenance.

Step 3 control the temperature

The optimum temperature for the growth of Eupatorium adenophorum is between 20℃ and 30℃, and the indoor temperature must be kept above 65438 00℃ in winter. In summer, if the temperature is too high, it is advisable to wipe the leaves with a wet rag and move them to a cool and ventilated place.

4. Rational fertilization

Spruce needs fertilization during the growing season. Generally speaking, Xia Dong does not need fertilization in two seasons, and only needs fertilization once or twice a month in spring and autumn. Fertilizers are mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. But you can't burn the roots because of too much fertilization, and you can't splash fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise it will burn the leaves.

Conclusion: After reading the above contents, I believe everyone should know the method of cutting propagation with leaves. With correct reproduction and reasonable maintenance, you don't have to worry about the bad growth of tiger orchids.
