Reproduction: offshoot

The technique of layer (also known as "assisted cutting") is suitable for play climbing plants, small shrubs and houseplants as the Potos, philodendron the shorter term, the ficus pumila and singonio.
How do

• Choose a branch very close to the ground and praticategli cut longitudinally. The cut should be about 5cm long and you will penetrate the bark to scratch the interior wood.
• If the size of branch it, you better put a piece of toothpick in the center of the cut to ensure the maintenance of the opening once buried.
• Now bend the branch down and interratelo for at least 15 cm before and after cutting. You can attach it to the ground using metal forks made from a thick wire. You're always
• very careful not to force the folding of the branch (on pain of his break) and eventually buried the branch in a box or vessel raised to the ground.
• The final part of the branch, will continue to grow, grow and flourish as if nothing had happened.
• The mother plant should be treated as usual and carved the terrain of the branch must be kept constantly moist in order to ensure the emergence of new roots.
• Depending on the species and climate, the time for the birth of the new roots can vary from a minimum of 15 days to several months, and every 20-30 days you can dig a little to see if this has occurred.
• Once the roots have reached a length at least 5cm, you can detach from the mother plant by cutting the line coming from it. Cut as close as possible to the roots.
