Cloning plants is a useful technique for avid gardeners who do not wish to purchase any more plants but want more plant coverage. Cloning is making copies of an existing plant you own to make more of the same plant for your home or garden. Cloning is a useful technique for plants that produce foods, since you only need to buy one and clone it many times to get an entire garden full of produce.
Instructions
1
Cut a small branch off the plant you wish to clone. Cut the branch at an angle to ensure the plant absorbs enough water to nurture it through this fragile state. Place the clipping stem down in a cup of water.
2
Fill the planting egg crate to the top with soil. Dampen the soil with water, but be careful not to soak the soil, as the clone will rot. Stick a pencil straight down into the damp soil to make a hole that is 1 inch deep.
3.Remove one of the clippings from the cup of water. Use scissors to scrape off 1 inch in length of the brown skin from the stem of the clipping on one side. Scrape off just enough skin to expose the green interior; you do not want to scrape too deeply, or the clipping will not take root. Dip the clipping back in the water to rinse it off, and wipe the excess water off the clipping with your fingers.
4
Dip the exposed clipping in rooting hormones and use the stem to stir around in the hormones for one second. Remove the clipping from the hormones. Make sure that the entire shaven portion of the clipping is covered in the hormones and does not have any clumps of hormones on it.
5
Carefully place the clipping stem down in the soil and pat the soil lightly to ensure that the clipping will stand up on its own.
6
Place the egg crate planter with the clones inside a cake tin --- this will serve as a "hothouse." You can acquire a cake tin by purchasing a cake and saving the plastic box that it came in. Pour about 1/8 of a cup of water into the bottom of the hothouse. Cake pans have grooves in the bottom of the pan to hold the water. Place the hothouse under an LED light, and allow the clones to grow roots for two weeks before you replant them. There is no need to water the plants any further unless the hothouse becomes
Tips & Warnings
The hothouse will become foggy, and condensation will build up on the inside of the hothouse. This is normal and very helpful for the plants. Do not remove the hothouse lid unless for some reason one of your plants tips over. Keep plant handling to a minimum.
Do not attempt to clone plants with a flower sprouting on the clipped stem. The flower will pull too much water from the rest of the plant, causing the entire clipping to die.
