How DO you make plant cuttings?
How exactly do you make plant cuttings. I heard you just cut a few leaves off and burry them in some soil. Is this true?

What type of plant?
With a Pothos you would take more than a leaf ... you need a piece of vine. Stick it in a container of water and wait for roots to sprout. You can do cuttings of hibiscus as well .. a decent sized branch pushed into a small square of florists foam. Bury this in a pot of dirt and water it well. -Brad

Ok, well I've studied this for two years so I know about it.
Ok, first of all, you are going to be cutting up a plant. So if you have a big plant, I am going to just let you know it will be small if you want a bunch of little plants. Ok, first off, you will need hand pruners. Then, take the plant, and where the a stem that is at least half an inch thick, cut it into 3 inch pieces. Make sure to keep it moist, since you have Chameleons, spray the soil with water everyday twice a day. Keep in mind the plant is in shock from being cut so the water will help it not to die. Then what you are going to need to do is in the next two days, is too watch it, it might have shoots on it. If it doesn't give it a bit more sunlight and a bit more water. Make sure you take the leaves off it also because they will suck up all of the water so they can create food, you want the plant to grow, not keep the same stuff alive. The pot size you will need is 3" pots. I know I'm forgetting something but if you have anymore questions I will be happy to help. Hope this helps. LPR08 P.S- What kind of plant are you going to be cutting? |
