Tips for Rooting the Swiss Cheese Plant:
Gather Materials
Before you get started on rooting your Swiss cheese plant, make sure you have all the materials you need. This will include Swiss cheese plant seeds, a soil mix, a shallow tray or pot, and a spray bottle for misting. You should also consider using scissors and a kitchen knife for cutting the hard outer shell of the seed.
Open the Shell of the Swiss Cheese Plant
Once you have your materials, it’s time to get started! First, hold the Swiss cheese plant seed between your thumb and fingers and use kitchen scissors to give it a gentle squeeze. You should feel the hard outer layer crack open. You can also use a kitchen knife to help crack the shell open more.
Sow the Seed
Next, use both hands to open the cracked shell and remove the inner part of the seed. Sow the inner part of the seed in the tray or pot about 2-3 centimeters deep. Make sure the soil is lightly damp.
Care for the Swiss Cheese Plant
When caring for the Swiss cheese plant, it’s important to make sure the soil remains lightly moist. Once a day take a spray bottle and gently mist the soil. If the soil becomes too dry, the Swiss cheese plant’s roots will start to rot. Also, make sure the Swiss cheese plant is receiving enough light.
Harvesting the Swiss Cheese Plant
Harvesting a fully grown Swiss cheese plant can be a real challenge. If you need to, enlist the help of some Swiss cheese lovers to help you with harvesting it! Be sure to use sharp scissors to help cut the plant’s stems and leaves from the roots. Once you’ve harvested it, the Swiss cheese plant is now ready to be enjoyed!
