Rhipsalis cuttings - unrooted cuttings
14,00 zł
Full description and specifications
The cutting you order is freshly harvested. Rhipsalis roots very easily, if you follow a few simple steps:
1. After receiving, you will have to keep the cutting in a cool, dry and dark place for at least 8-10 days. This interval will allow a proper scarring of the tissue (callus formation). Optionally, at this stage you can apply different rooting preparations.
2. At the time of planting, choose a pot with a maximum diameter of 10 cm - these plants grow well in relatively small pots, compared to the size of the plant. When adding the substrate, make sure that the cutting has at least two areoles (areas where thorns, buds and/or flowers appear) on the surface. DO NOT compress the substrate and do not water for about two weeks. If you notice that the cutting is excessively dehydrated, you can spray it every 2-3 days.
3. After the cutting has started to develop roots and possibly new growth, you can start watering. From this point, do not let the substrate become completely dry. After each watering, make sure that the water has completely drained from the pot and never soak it in saucers or decorative pots. If the atmospheric humidity is low, you can spray the plant periodically (not excessively!).
Attention - these instructions are meant to guide you and do not guarantee the success of propagation/rooting. The whole process depends on the microclimate, materials, tools used and human factors.
The cuttings are harvested from mature plants, which may be quite old, therefore they may have scarred leaves or other aesthetic deficiencies.
Size: approx. 8-10 cm
