Stem cuttings propagation is a widely used method in agricultural crop production in the Philippines. This technique involves taking a section of a plant stem and encouraging it to develop roots and grow into a new plant. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Selection of Cutting: Choose a healthy, disease-free stem from the parent plant. The cutting should be about 4-6 inches long and include at least one node (the point where leaves attach to the stem).
Preparation: Remove any leaves from the lower half of the cutting to prevent rot and reduce water loss.
Rooting Hormone: Dip the cut end of the stem in rooting hormone powder to stimulate root growth1.
Planting: Insert the cutting into a pot filled with a well-draining rooting medium, such as a mix of peat moss and perlite. Ensure the node is buried in the medium.
Environment: Maintain high humidity and moderate temperature to facilitate rooting. Covering the pot with a plastic bag can help retain moisture1.
Care: Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged. Place the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with indirect light. Roots should develop within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the plant species1.
This method is effective for a variety of plants, including Tectona philippinensis (Philippine teak), coleus, spider plant, and pothos
