Cane cuttings involve taking bare stems and cutting them into 8 to 13 cm long pieces.
Plants can be propagated, or multiplied, in several different ways. Most people are familiar with growing new plants from seeds, but new plants can also be created by cutting off a portion of an established plant. This “cutting” is placed in an environment that encourages it to produce new roots and/or stems, thus forming a new, independent plant.
Advantages of Canes & Cuttings:
There are a few favorable circumstances to spreading plants utilizing cuttings:
- The new plant will be indistinguishable from the parent plant.
- Engendering another plant by means of cuttings keeps away from the challenges of spreading by seed.
- Another plant developed from a cutting will regularly develop quicker and bloom sooner than a plant developed from a seed.
