An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh answered questions about when and how to propagate a flower by cuttings.

Let's start with the time of the procedure: you can start it after flowering.

To do this, you need to unscrew one or two segments and soak them completely in water for 15-20 minutes.

It is even better to use a preparation like "Aminosil", as it contains a large amount of amino acids that stimulate growth, rooting and give strength to the plant.

Then the cuttings can be planted in universal soil mixed with vermiculite. Do not forget to water them and sprinkle with dry soil, and you should act carefully, and in the end you need to close the container with an airtight lid.

For this purpose, you can use cut plastic bottles.

Make a planting site from the bottom of the bottle. Then cover the planted cuttings with the top of the bottle.

This way, the cuttings will be provided with a sufficient amount of moisture and air, and through the transparent walls you will be able to observe the development of their roots.
