Commercial Floriculture

Cuttings

• This method is commonly followed for maintaining the purity of varieties.
• Normally, the presence of adventitious roots along the stem helps in the establishment of cuttings.
• About 10 cm long cuttings are made and treated with seradix No.1.
• The cuttings are planted in the sand to strike roots easily and plants thus raised are used for bedding and pot planting.
