#rosemary
This is a pot of rosemary that I planted nearly 1 year ago, by cuttings. Rosemary with many uses such as repelling and limiting mosquitoes and flies, relaxing it and having many medicinal effects. economic. So now, rosemary is grown a lot.
This clip I would like to introduce how to propagate rosemary by cuttings.
First, cut the branches of the rosemary plant into segments with an average length of 10-15 cm After cutting the rosemary plants into short pieces about 10-15 cm.
The next job is to prepare the substrate for rosemary cuttings. The medium that I use includes three types: Coir + rice husk ash + perlite (Rice husk ash: this type is rice husk burned into charcoal).
These 3 components of the growing medium are mixed together in a 1:1:1 ratio.
Next, prepare a plastic cup, the type used to drink milk tea. These glasses are punched in the bottom of the glass with about 4-5 holes. This plastic wrap is responsible for helping rosemary to retain moisture after cuttings.
Next step, prepare the rosemary cuttings. These rosemary branches are cut diagonally at a 45 degree angle. Because cutting like this increases the contact area of ​​the rosemary with the growing medium.
Increases the number of rosemary roots when growing. To better support the rooting of rosemary, HVP rooting stimulant can be used. This rooting stimulant contains NAA, concentration of 1000ppm. The method of use is as follows: mix the rooting stimulant with the ratio of 5 ml NAA with 15 ml of water.
Then dip the rosemary stalks into this mixed solution for about 2-3 seconds. The next job is to insert rosemary branches into the growing medium.
Then lightly compress the rosemary branch to the growing medium, to fix the rosemary branch. Use plastic wrap to cover the cutting cup. So the steps for cutting a rosemary are done!
The next step is to place a cup of rosemary cuttings in the coconut fiber. Placing rosemary cuttings in the coconut fiber will help the rosemary plant retain moisture while the plant forms new young roots.
The location of rosemary cuttings is below a layer of netting. Reduce about 60% sunlight.
About 25 days after cuttings, rosemary will begin to take root.
