Cut off the shoots and prepare them for sticking
In the course of pruning, you can obtain shoots that you can use for propagating cuttings. Please note:
- 15 to 20 cm long
- The cut edge should be sloping
- like to let the base of the trunk adhere to the cut piece
- remove lower leaves
- leave upper leaves
Wait until they are rooted
Now the shoots come in a pot with potting soil. Move them into there about 5 cm. The substrate must then be kept moist in order to ensure rooting. You are welcome to put a plastic sheet over it so that the moisture does not evaporate. Place the pot in a warm (20 to 25 ° C) and bright location.
You can also put the shoots in a glass with water. They also take root in this. Use water with little lime for this. The water should be changed every 2 to 3 days. The glass is placed in a bright place for rooting. After several weeks, white root threads will appear. Then it's time to plant the cuttings.
Leaf cuttings: You can also make something out of the leaves
You can also use the long-stalked leaves of this houseplant as an offshoot. They should still be green and strong. Cut it off along with its long stem.
Then either come in a pot with soil or in a glass with water. It is best to cut off 3 to 5 pieces immediately, as not all leaf cuttings always root.
Tips
Be sure to use a healthy mother plant for the offshoots! Otherwise, existing diseases could also be transmitted to the offspring.
