Cutling of Avonia quinaria
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 4:47 am
As title.It is a rarely talk about technique, at least i never seen on BCSS before.
This is a cut from my Avonia quinaria adult plant.
After this summer season growth.among the 10 cut i made this one has the best result.
Already have a tiny 3 mm caudex and spurting out second branch
my memory is fuzzy but i think i made cut in may.
My rooting rate is about 80%.The 20% who don;t make it are the short one(1cm).
When they root, the scale will exten and open. branch will look greener.
Some of cutling still die after success rooting.Sine they grow slow and hard to establish.
i think the hardest part is water,any big water drop will topple over cutling.
cause them more time to re-establish.
here are some tip for ppl who want to try :
1.Pick the long branch. the longer the better! 1 cm is minimum 2~3 work best
2.Use inorganic pot mix with small grain.Water after bone dry
3.Keep worm (it;s always worm in my country i think above 30 C is required.my green house easily go up to 40 C)
4.Stick it in medium deep,like around 5 mm deep
5.They are very easy to topple over, water with caution. give water under pot or mist sprayer is recommend.
6.I believe season play import role in success rate but i haven't figure it out yet.
