The top soil and sand were sieved to get rid of stones and other extrogenous materials, also to improve aeration and porosity. Equal volume of the growing media was filled in perforated polythene bags of size 20cm by 12cm , tightly leaving 2. Before cuttings were inserted into the different media, they were moistened and allowed to settle overnight.
A dibber was used to create a hole for the insertion of the cuttings. The stem cuttings of six different variegated varieties i. The basal ends of the cuttings were dipped in IBA solution by quick dip method for 60 seconds before planting them in the rooting medium. The treatments were: cutting types Hardwood and Semi hardwood cuttings; rooting hormone IBA, coconut water, tetracycline, control no application ; stem cuttings of six different varieties colour.
One cutting was planted in each polythene bag making a total of pots. The data were collected on; length of longest root cm ; number of days to sprouting by counting; number of leaves per cutting by counting ; plant height cm using metre rule; Stem girth size cm using vernier calliper; Root fresh and dry weight g were measured using a sensitive Mettler top-loading balance.

Clean, sanitary tools are vital to successful cuttings, even for easy-rooting species such as bougainvillea. Gather a pair of pruning shears, a rooting mix made of half perlite and half potting soil. Wash the pruning shear blades and pots with hot, soapy water; rinse them and wipe them dry with a clean paper towel to remove any harmful bacteria and viruses.
Fill each pot with the rooting mix and moisten it thoroughly just before gathering the cuttings, so you can pot them as soon as possible. Always choose pots with multiple drainage holes at the bottom to let excess moisture escape from the pot. Morning is the best time to gather and start bougainvillea stems.
Measure out a 6-inch segment of stem from the tip of a healthy bougainvillea stem with tender growth at the tip and semi-mature wood at the base. Snip the stem with the pruning shears at a degree angle just below a set of leaves.
Non-blooming stems are best, but you can also pinch off any flowers. Final words but they will cover all the points above : Bougainvillea grown from cutting is very easy task if selection of cutting done correctly and also use soil mix soft enough so that roots can easily grown and also we have to maintain moisture in soil so that growth of cutting boost up, fertilizer is not important up to 30 days of successful growth of roots.
Why Tulsi plant die in winter Tulsi plant generally are very sensitive to winters, so we have to take extra care for tulsi plant as extra Bougainvillea bougainvillea cutting bougainvillea from cutting how to grow bougainvillea form cutting Why Bougainvillea cutting not growing.
Why Bougainvillea cutting not growing. Semi wood cutting. Labels: Bougainvillea , bougainvillea cutting , bougainvillea from cutting , how to grow bougainvillea form cutting. You can cut back as much as a third of the plant's growth without worrying about harming it.
Sterilize your gardening tools with rubbing alcohol before and after you take a cutting. Prune the leaves from the stem. The stem is the only part of the bougainvillea that will take root successfully. Cut away all flowers, leaves, and small offshoots from the slender, woody shaft. Trim and discard any sections that are still green, as these are less likely to survive when planted. This will keep them from drying out for weeks.
Dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Wet the bottom of the stem and press it into a container of powdered rooting hormone. Coat the underside thoroughly, but avoid caking or clumping. To remove excess powder, tap the stem lightly with your fingertip. Part 2. Fill a small container with a well-drained soil. For best results, purchase a growing medium designed specifically for propagating from seeds and cuttings.
You can also use a mixture of commercial potting soil, organic garden compost, and sand. Insert the cutting into the soil. Sink the stem 1. Water the newly planted cutting thoroughly. Use enough water to moisten the surface of the soil without oversaturating it.
After watering, allow the cutting to sit undisturbed. A healthy drink will encourage it to begin putting down new roots. Too much moisture could inhibit the rooting process, or even lead to more harmful complications like rotting or fungal disease.
Cover the potted cutting with a plastic bag. The surrounding layer of plastic will create a miniature greenhouse effect, trapping in humidity. In just a few weeks, the abundance of moisture will help the plant begin growing on its own. Otherwise, it should be okay to simply drape the plastic cover over the top of the pot and make sure the bottom is weighted and secure. You can also use a cloche or coldframe, if you have access to one.
Look for the cutting to begin sprouting within weeks. In the meantime, avoid removing the bag or otherwise disturbing the plant. Doing so could inhibit the rooting process. Part 3. Allow the cutting to continue rooting until leaves have appeared. This may take anywhere from months, depending on the state of the cutting and your exact soil conditions. Once the stem begins producing foliage again, it will be safe to repot it in a larger container or transplant it to your garden.
Introduce the rooted cutting to full sunlight gradually. To do this, simply move the plant to an area with slightly more direct sunlight every days. A slow process of acclimation will help it adapt to its new environment and increase its chances of survival. Bougainvillea is most comfortable at the same temperatures you are. For this reason, the inside of your home will generally be the best place for it.
Uproot the cutting and establish it in its new home. Tap the outside of the rooting pot to gently dislodge the compacted soil. Upend the entire pot carefully on your palm, holding the cutting firmly between the fingers of your opposite hand. Your bougainvillea is now ready to be planted in a container or flower bed and continue growing on its own.
