Jeg har taget nogle kloner fra mine planter for en uge siden, jeg brugte flonamon A og puttet den i fugtig jord. I dag har jeg så bygget en lille bubler og taget nogle af de kloner jeg havde puttet i jorden for at putte dem i bubleren men der var intet sket med dem udover nogle var meget bløde i stilken, måske råt. Da min bubler er lille vil jeg gerne have lidt hjælp til hvordan man bedst får noget ud af kloner når man bruger jord. Hvor fugtig skal jorden være, ovs.

På forhånd tak,

Dank

Du skal prøve at holde jorden fugtig,men ikke "soaked",den må heller ikke være "trykket sammen",men løs i det.Det ville også være en fed ide at bruge f.eks perlit,så de får så meget ilt som muligt.

Bruger du ikke noget "ilttelt" eller noget,til at holde på fugtigheden?

Så snart de begynder at rette sig,og du kan se de er stabile,med et par gode hvide rødder,kan du sætte dem over i bubleren.

Har du prøvet at bruge Rockwool som medie? [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Det er virklig godt fordi det holder så meget luft og dermed ilt.Good luck.

Nu har jeg købt nogle grodan da min cloner i jorden ik virkede men jeg har ikke lavet et "ilttelt" eller noget,til at holde på fugtigheden. Jeg prøvede først at dække dem til med plastik men jeg syntet at det blev for varmt under de 2 lysstofrør jeg bruger. Hvad vil du forslå, er det ligemeget med varmen da fugtigheden er vigtigere. Kan jeg gøre noget andet.

Dank

Det er godt at du undgår for meget varme.Du har ikke et gammelt akvarium eller sådan noget?
Hvis du dækker det til,og stiller det et lidt køligt sted,(spray dem gerne nogle gange om dagen med lunkent vand),så skulle de stå godt.

Med rockwool skal du bare sørge for det er fugtigt hele tiden,du skal ikke lade noget vand stå i bunden,det er farligt(råd).Bare pas på de ikke tørrer ud.Feks hver gang du sprayer dem,så check lige om de er ved at tørre ud.Kunsten er at bruge så lidt vand som muligt,men selfølgelig nok så de ikke tørrer ud.

Da jeg startede var jeg overbevist om at jeg aldrig ville kunne lære det der med kloner.Men det er ret let. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Her er et par fifs:

Take cuttings from clean, disease-free stock. Cuttings taken from plants that have been deprived of nutrients, especially water, will respond poorly. Cuttings of equal length foliage and color should be selected and must not contain deformities in leaf growth pattern for optimum uniformity of the plants after rooting. Select cuttings from the most vigorously growing portion of the plant; this is where the highest concentration of auxins (growth hormones) are found. Cuttings selected should be green barked and should not contain any of the woodier type bark which indicates age. The finished cutting should be as short as possible 4-5 inches is preferred. Remember, auxins are more concentrated at the growing tip. Three of four small, well-formed leaves should be left intact. The propagation area and all containers should be carefully cleaned to reduce the danger of infection. Fill plastic tub or other suitable container with clean water. It should not contain fertilizer, but it is advisable to adjust the ph to 6.4 (6.2 to 6.6 is acceptable). Also, add superthrive at a ratio of 10 drops per U.S. gallon. Maintain the water at a temperature of 78 degrees (26C).

The cuttings taken should be at least 1 inch longer than you are going to use make the cut with a sharp knife and immediately place the entire cutting into the PH adjusted water. While the cutting is under water, cut it to the final length. Make the cut in a single, smooth motion at a 45-degree angle to the stem. If there is an internode at the cut point, make your cut directly below the node. With the cutting still submerged remove any excess leaves. If there are no internodes at the cut, make three or four shallow vertical slits (no deeper than the outer bark) upward from the cut along the stem about 1/2 inch. These cut must be made with the cutting submerged or air will be sucked into the stem causing what as know as an air embolism in which bubbles block the movement of water up the stem. An air embolism can cause death or slow the rooting process by weeks. This is known as the sip of life technique. By making all secondary cuts underwater, you eliminate air bubbles, reduce unnecessary strain on the clone and allow the cutting to stabilize in a fluid environment. After making your second cut and removing any excess leaves under water, remove the cutting and submerge the cut end in a liquid rooting hormone. Make sure at least 1 inch of the cutting is placed in the hormone.


Reduce cutting stress...

By controlling light levels, humidity and temperature, your job is to keep the cutting in a complete state of dormancy. Cuttings with out roots are very sensitive to stress. Every effort should be made to minimize evaporation from the cuttings and avoid extreme light and temperature levels. Keep humidity as close to 100 percent as possible and maintain water and substrate temperatures at between 70 and 84 degrees (21-29C). Cooler water will slow root formation; warmer water will encourage disease. The lower the humidity level, the more water the plant will transpire, causing the cutting to use up stored food for things other than root production. It is important to hold the leaves as dormant as possible and permit the cutting to use more of it's energy on root development.
