POLARITY AND ROOT REGENERATION

Record the orientation before dividing a long stem. This applies especially to fragments without an apex. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

Limiting water loss and forming a barrier at the wound precede heavy watering. Assess the time needed by the condition of the tissues. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

Once rooting begins, the need for water and oxygen in the substrate increases. New roots do not prove that a cutting is completely healthy. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

The diagram shows a typical stem cutting placed upright. Horizontal rooting is sometimes possible, but is not a rule for all cacti. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]

A new treatment of the topic in rozmnazanie4. The physiology of adventitious roots follows Druege et al. 2019 and archival sources. [Fleischer and Schütz 1978] [Druege et al. 2019]
