CHAPTER 6
Planting of the cuttings.
_______________________________
It must be made with a dry substrate.
The 3 cuttings from the stem on page 3.
Simply fill each pot with substrate, pack it down a little, but not too much, and put the cutting in the ground, pushing it into the soil enough to keep it upright. In general, a depth of about 4cm is sufficient.
Make sure that you have planted the cutting in the right direction and that the plant is doubly identified: once on the plant with a permanent mrker and once on a plastic label on which you have written with a soft pencil. As I wrote on a previous page, the pencil is even more reliable than indelible markers, which sometimes are not.
The double identification makes it possible to find oneself less often in front of unknown plants, following a gust of wind or a fall of a pot.
Watering and spraying should be started carefully to keep the substrate permanently slightly moist.
