Recognition of applying cuttings

. 

After receiving the cutting, the problem is often which side

Which of the following is straight, because cuttings on the reverse side will not work at all, except for some plants with an extremely vagus nature. 

Three types of cutting are softwood, hardwood, semi-hardwood. 

Softwood cuttings or heads are planted mostly in the sawn season, while the cuttings of plants that face dormancy period can be planted from January to March or even after the leaves are shed, which is hardwood cutting. 

But remember this is a general classification, not applicable to all plants. But the same rule applies to most. 

let's talk about the topic,

Recognizing the reverse and straight side of cutting, which used to be a problem for me but not anymore. 

The first and most authentic method is the Leaf Scar Method:

This is the method I always use. If you look at your cutting, if there is no leaf or stem or bud on the cutting, it's just like a piece of wood, then you see where the bud is, right below it, there is a small line called a leaf scar. The line is at the bottom of each bud, as marked by a circle in some of the pictures in Zell. Always this side with the lion will be the bottom of the pen, and new growth will always start from above this lion and will never bud from below it, so plant the same side as the lion. I pressThis is the original method used to identify cuttings that have uniform thickness, no bud, no leaf,

However, this rule is correct for 95% of plants. And according to my information, this rule is reversed only for bougainvillea. Keep up. 

Second Method Bud, Leaf, Stem Extraction:-

If the address is present with the cutting, then it can be estimated from it, which is very easy, and if not, look for the leaf scar near the bud, and if for some reason it is difficult to estimate from the life scar, then the direction of the bud. Evaluate. Whichever side the new growth is growing in will always be pressed into the ground on the opposite side. 

The third method is the nature of growth:

Some cuttings can be estimated by looking at their sides, while others say to judge by looking at the thickness of the cuttings. Most of the pens have no difference in size from either side in thickness and then this ruleNot applicable. Sometimes the plant also exhibits reverse growth, i.e. many times the pen is naturally thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, but this is extremely rare. This is the reason why identification by thickness is sometimes easy but sometimes it can be difficult and wrong

Below are a few pictures to explain the leaf scar method. If anyone has any questions, they can ask in the comments.
