Root cuttings in a pot or glass
Cut cuttings Best in summer. Then it is warm enough so that the cuttings can still take root. The cuttings can take root both in a glass with water and in a pot with soil.
How to proceed if you decide on the pot cuttings:
- Cut 5 to 6 cm long side shoots

- remove the bottom pair of leaves
- 3 cm deep in pots with Potting soil put
- keep moist
Sowing: Caution, because the seeds are cooling germs!
Also the sowing the fine seed is not heavy. In particular, you should note that the seeds are cooling germinators. It is therefore not worth sowing in the living room. A preculture on the balcony or terrace and subsequent further culture in a cooler room such as the bedroom is better.
That's how it's done:
- Harvest seeds in autumn
- dry
- sow from March
- Bowls with Sowing soil to fill
- Sow seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil
- press on and moisten
- Put in a cool place 5 to 10 ° C (e.g. B. Balcony)
- As soon as the germ layers are visible, place in a warmer place (15 ° C)
- Plant out from June

There it is covered with earth and fixed with a stone. The tip of the shoot should look out of the earth. Keep moist and cut off when the shoot is rooted!
