Increase barberry - that's how it works with cuttings
The beginner-suitable cultivation of barberry continues in the propagation seamlessly. With their most beautiful sourthorn as a mother plant, you breed a whole host of vital offspring with the cuttings method. This manual accompanies you step by step through the uncomplicated procedure.
Cut and prepare barberry cuttings - you should pay attention to this
The knowledgeable cut in combination with a careful preparation is the secret of success for lively rooted cuttings. Pay special attention to the first steps in the propagation process. How to do it right:
In the final step of preparation, please remove all leaves, except for one or two pairs of leaves at the shoot tip.
Using cuttings perfectly - that's how it works
So that barberry cuttings quickly take root, the substrate should not be too nutrient-rich. Please fill a culture dish or small pots with lean pikier or herb soil. As a tempting motivation for rapid root growth, place a very thin layer of compost on the bottom of the vessel before filling it. The offshoots will make every effort to duck their tender roots through the lean layer to the nutrient buffet.
Sprinkle the seed substrate with water and put the cuttings in two-thirds of their length. A transparent lid or a plastic bag that has been pushed over create a moist, warm microclimate. Under the influence of the so-called 'strained air', it does not take long before a fresh shoot appears. The cover can then be removed.
Care Tips for Berberis Offspring
In the partially shady, warm place by the window or on the balcony barberry cuttings feel in good hands. Please ventilate the cover daily, so that no mushrooms spread. It is important to note that the growing soil is always slightly moist. Fertilizers do not get Acidthorn offshoot.
Tips
Please do not dispose of leftover cuttings and other cuts of barberry on cattle pastures or paddocks. Apart from the berries, all plant parts are poisonous. If animals have access to the compost pile in the garden, we recommend disposing of it in the household waste.
