Hello of Amorphophallus eccentrics,.

in the following article in the exotic style Forum: multiplication by leaf cuttings I started today my own experiment, to see whether and how it works with leaf cuttings.

My A. had to hold maxwellii as guinea pigs.


What do we need:

-Perlite
-small flower pot
-Scalpel or very sharp knife
-Disinfection (I have owned 70% isopropyl alcohol taken)
-Cutting powder or gel
-Root Stimulator
-Glass with water
-Propagator
-Heating pad
-Cutting tablet or similar
-Paper towels

Preparation:

Before we cut with the start of cutting, must the cutting tool be disinfected first, to prevent the cutting or the mother is ill. Either one flaring from the knife or scalpel with an alcohol burner or taking isopropanol and wipes the blade properly clean.
Now we select a suitable section of the page. I chose an approx. 10 cm large piece which has more than one leaf segment.
Now, it truncates the previously selected piece with the sharp knife or Skallpell and immediately puts it in the supplied water glass.

The water prevents the sheet piece draws air and thus the Blattsück dies down. In humans, it is also dangerous if air bubbles in the veins.

Sharp cutting tools are the nuts and bolts, because if you cut it with scissors or a dull knife, it squeezes the interface together and könnnte the plant absorb no water to more.

Now that the piece of sheet in water is available, you can first of all make it to the page and perlite worry about that.

Now, I have mixed a root Stimulator for guidance with water and thus watered the perlite.

index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 142

Since I have served me from a different plant scene the Stimulator consists primarily of vitamins and amino acids which stimulate the root growth. You can spray this also on the sheet, which then also takes it.

Implementation:

Now, I have the moist perlite in the pot filled and prepared me to my work:
index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 143

I've wiped with isopropyl alcohol to disinfect it the cutting board and the Skallpell. Now take the cutting out of the water and it appears a bit in the Bewurzelungspulver. It is important to examine the remains of the powder. It is enough to only a thin layer of powder around the plant to the roots to stimulate.

Because we have set the cutting in the powder, the interface is clogged again. That is why we cut down a small piece of angle in a 45° and then we put it immediately in the perlite.

Now comes the cutting in the greenhouse and is situated at a bright place. You should always control the humidity in the greenhouse is how high and how hot it is. You can spray the cuttings with the root Stimulator and so that the plant can accommodate him on the hand.

Should the dry perlite, you can wet it also with the root Stimulator.


As a result of root hormone we the cutting in the area of the powder to the roots suggested.

Now it is called wait and drink tea.

If the experiment is run according to my wishes, I will be rare species forming no primary Cormels, so in the future (A.titanum, A.gigas, A.decus-silvae,....) multiply:)

... to be continued

Hy Niels,

so even others have here successfully tested it in the Forum:

Plant culture - 'Recycling' A. scaber

Hello

reply you received by PN.

Hello

No read I don't have the article unfortunately.

Also a post should be in the 30 / 2007 issue.

There, the owner of the plants delights nursery (Toni Avent) should have made a series of experiments.

If one but hears that he has made since experiments into the substrates, which would be determined times good to read it.
Unfortunately there will be probably not in electronic form

Hello

here a small update. The cuttings are both still always nice dark green. The bodies of stalks treated with hormones have begun to produce callus tissue.
These posts are already nicely thickened on two cuttings. I guess that this post is about 1 / 3 times thicker than previously.

We can hope so:)

Hello stinker fans,.

with joy, I agree with you that the experiment could be completed successfully.

Both cuttings have formed in callus tissue and are bewurzelt. I could now pot both up.

Success rate: 100 %

Here, I can tell now himself that the time of slicing the cuttings, nor the size of the cut cuttings have played a role. I had cutting on a large sheet cutting, as well as in a tiny (which I eigendlich watched as waste) success. Both have wonderfully rooted.

This images:

index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 577 index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 578 index.php? page = attachment & attachmentID = 579

And here a small summary of my attempt:

Mother: Amorphophallus maxwellii
Duration of the cut to the rooting of cuttings: of the 19.8.2011 06.09.2011
Climate data: Temperature: 25-29 ° C humidity: 90-95% rel. Air humidity
Bewurzelungssubstrat: pure perlite
Bewurzelungshilfe: Hormones and root booster


Now the freshly rooted cuttings are still 1-2 weeks with a root booster (from the cannabis scene) poured and then regular water and nutrient solution is used.

I hope that the experiment has brought some light into the darkness. It has brought me in any case very much info and approx. 1 year I try it on my titanums

Hi Bernard,.
I had already called this in my post

So 18 days of the sheaths to the plant

I very much hope it well develop. I love these maxwelliis simply because of the super romp tribe grain.

Thank you for the congratulations

I can say now you. The leaf segments are changing that erdisch no longer. Only underground something changed. More and more roots are formed on the callus tissue and developed a small tuber which is normally growing from the callus tissue.

Either the tuber is still a right drive in the same season or after the first period of rest. Must I look at times. I of course further reports.

But just when the konjaks it should be problematic to proliferate them through leaf cuttings.
Since you can indeed also times report

Fortunately, it was "only" a konjak cutting. Since the loss is not so tragic.

Good luck for next time
