Cutting Techniques Chapter 10
Cutting techniques • Types of cuttings – Stem • Hardwood – – Deciduous Narrow-leaved evergreens • Semi-hardwood – Broad-leaved evergreens – Leafy deciduous plants in summer • • • Softwood Herbaceous Rhizome/Stolon
Cutting techniques • Types of cuttings – Leaf-bud – Root
Cutting techniques • Hardwood (deciduous) – Mature, firm, dormant (after leaf drop) – 4 - 30” cuttings – Basal cut just below a node & top cut just above a node – Stick 2 - 3” into rooting mix – Can wax tops or place in high humidity
Cutting techniques • Hardwood cuttings (narrow-leaved evergreens) – Slow to root (make sure they don’t dry out) – Low-growing species root easiest (some junipers) – Upright growing often difficult to root (firs, hemlock, pines, spruce) – Take late fall to late winter – Include 4 - 8” of last years growth – Require high irradiance – High humidity – Prefer sand or peat/perlite – Bottom heat
Cutting techniques • Semi-hardwood (greenwood) – Broad-leaved evergreens or – Leafy deciduous plants in summer – Taken in summer after a growth flush – 3 - 6” cuttings – Trim large leaves to reduce transpiration – Collect cutting in early morning (turgid)
Cutting techniques • Softwood – soft, succulent new Spring growth – Deciduous or evergreen species – Taken DURING a growth flush – Sometimes root easier – Prone to disease and water stress
Cutting techniques • Herbaceous cuttings (different than softwood!) – From succulent, nonwoody plants (Coleus, geraniums, mums) – 3 - 5” cuttings – Leaves kept on top (remove any that would go below the surface of the rooting mix) – Auxin usually not required
Cutting techniques • Leaf cuttings – Leaf blade with or without petiole attached – Adventitious buds/shoots and roots must form – Limited # of species will respond to produce shoots • Begonia • African violet • Snake plant – Offsets = plants develop along the leaf margin • Kalanchoe • Piggyback plant
Cutting techniques • Leaf-bud cuttings (single eye or single node) – Leaf blade, petiole, & stem piece with axillary bud – Only adventitious roots need to form – Camellia, maples, rhododendron, tropical shrubs – Insert stem 1/2 - 1” into rooting mix
Cutting techniques • Root cuttings – From young stock plants in late winter/early spring – High in CHO’s – Polarity is important… proximal end up – Or can lay horizontally in the mix – Cover lightly, 1/2” maximum
Cutting techniques • Ways to improve rooting of cuttings – Proper rooting medium – Wounding • Stripping • Girdling – Auxins • IBA best or a combination of IBA & NAA • K-IBA (talc or water solution) for softwood & semihardwood • IBA in alcohol best with dormant hardwood cuttings
Cutting techniques • How to prepare an IBA quick-dip! – Know which form of IBA you have so you know which solvent to use Ex: You want 1 liter of a 5, 000 ppm solution FACT: 1 ppm = 1 mg/L Therefore: 5, 000 ppm = 5, 000 mg/L or 5 g/L
Cutting techniques Question: You want 200 ml of a 5, 000 ppm solution 5, 000 mg 5 g L L 5 g 1000 ml Xg 200 ml
Cutting techniques 1000 g • ml = 1000 X g • ml Divide through by 1000 X = 1 g per 200 ml
Cutting techniques • Quick-dip: – 500 - 10, 000 ppm (0. 05 to 1%) – Dip base in about 1/2 - 1” for 5 - 10 sec. – Easy, consistent, stable – If in alcohol… it will evaporate over time and the auxin will become more concentrated
Cutting techniques • Talc – 1, 000 - 10, 000 ppm (0. 1 - 1%) – Easy – Can be inconsistent (amount of talc adhering to the cutting base will vary) – Generally less effective than a similar concentration of IBA applied as a liquid
Cutting techniques • Other auxin application methods – Spray on foliage – Immerse herbaceous cuttings in 50 - 250 ppm – Soak cuttings (basal portion) in 20 - 200 ppm
Cutting techniques • Disease prevention while taking cuttings – Start with disease-free stock plants – Apply fungicides • In auxin talc or solution • Drench medium after sticking – Clean workspace and tools with sterilants • • • Bleach (10%) Physan 20 or Green Shield Note: Rubbing alcohol is not effective against viruses
Cutting techniques • Mist system – Intermittent mist • Time clock and solenoid • “Leaf” and solenoid (Mist-O-Matic) – Fog • High pressure • Ultrasonic – Problems • Algal growth • Water quality (p. H, salts, debris)
Cutting techniques • Cutting nutrition: – NO fertigation – Can use slow-release fertilizers but not recommended • Weed control – by hand!
Cutting techniques • Hardening-off: – The process of gradually acclimating rooted cuttings from high humidity to reduced humidity – First reduce mist frequency – Finally, remove from mist, pot up and keep in an area out of excessive sun and wind
