当种子发芽率仅为80%，且缺少50颗植株，你会怎么做？从已发芽的植株上剪枝。如果遵循如此步骤，我们有盆培两周左右的番茄幼苗，情况现在向前发展，但是种子没有像我们所想的那样发芽，我们缺少100颗植株，准备好修枝剪刀来开始培育更多番茄吧！
So your seeds only germinated at 80% and you are short fifty plants, what do you do? Well you take cuttings from the plants that did germinate of course. If you have been following along we have had tomato seedlings growing in pots about two weeks now. Things are starting to move along, but our seeds didn't germinate like we needed them too, so we are short about 100 plants. Time to get the pruners out and start making more tomatoes!
让我们开始！
Let's Get Started!
步骤1
首先，找到需要培育的植株，找到你能发现的最大的植株，通常我先剪断他们，然后放入盛水的容器中，这样它们不会干枯，如果你在温室里或者花园里工作，你可以每次仅剪断一枝，我每次剪100枝，所以这种方法使它们更新鲜。
Step 1
First off, find the suckers that you want to propagate, look for the largest suckers you can find. I usually cut them first then keep them all in a container with water so they don't dry out. If your working in a smaller greenhouse or your garden, you may just want to work one at a time, I have about 100 cuttings to take so this keeps them fresher for me.
步骤2
准备好所有的设备，确实不是很多，把它们放在一起就好了。剪得越快并及时保持湿润，对植株越好。我用修枝剪刀和旧式圆锉刀做为穴播机来打开潮湿的珍珠岩，据此所说，剪断，修剪所有的叶子，使之都朝着生长在顶端的叶子，剪掉叶子意味着植株需要的更少来维持生命且植株蒸发的表面积更小了。我们需要给已剪植株最好的存活几率。
Step 2
Get all your equipment ready, there isn't alot really, just good to have it all together. The faster you get the cuttings in and keep them wet, the better for the plant. I use pruners and an old round file as a dibbler to open up the wet perlite. With that said, take your cutting, and trim all the leaves up to the growing end, that last set of leaves at the top. Cutting the leaves off means less for the plant to try to keep alive and alot less surface area for the plant to transpire. We want to give this cuttings the best chance for survival.
步骤3
接下来修剪植株到固定长度，如果以之前传统的伴有土壤的方式来修剪，需要将枝条修剪至3到4英寸，而我剪到6到7英寸，因为我们的水系统在盆底部有1到2英寸的营养溶液。这样植株的底部将放入溶液中，更快吸上水来。这里有一个注意点，番茄的藤不能形成很多木茎，所以它们可以沿茎形成根，不像其他植物在节点处形成根。可将这种方法用到其他植物上，但要确保修剪合适。
Step 3
Next we will trim the cutting to length, If you were doing this in a conventional soil with soil, you would cut your shoot down to about three to four inches. I cut these about six to seven inches since our hydro system has an inch or two of nutrient solution at the bottom of the pots, this way the bottom of the cutting will be down in the solution drawing water up faster. *just a note here, tomato vines don't form much of a woody stem, so they are able to form roots all along the length of the stem, unlike other plants that grow roots from nodes. you can use this method on other plants but be sure you prune properly.
步骤4
接下来用穴播机，打开珍珠岩沉到水桶底部，最后将已修剪的植株放入洞中，将珍珠岩轻轻放在其周围，替换水滴管，这样就完成了。
Step 4
Next we take a dibbler and open up the perlite all the way down to the bottom of the bucket.
然后等待数天看植株是否生根，通常会的，但是如果没有，我们要重新做一次。用这个方法我有很高的成功率，且实际上番茄以后会开始长气根，所以这个方法很容易培育番茄。
And finally We place the cutting into the hole and repack the perlite around it lightly, replace the drip tubes and you're done. Except for the waiting, then we wait several days to see if the plants will take, usually they do, if they don't we do it again. I have a pretty high success rate with this method, and it's tomatoes, they will actually start growing air roots after a while, so they are easy to start this way.
如我所说，修剪番茄很容易，如果你想试试，我唯一的建议是避免植株被太阳直射，且保持土壤潮湿。你说什么？太阳直射，在温室里，怎么？什么？温和的读者们，我们在这小怪兽上放置70%的遮光布，所以这真不是我说的太阳直射，水桶里有很多水。如果你想要培育过程的视频概述，就在这里哦，由我可爱的妻子主演。
Like I said, this is a pretty easy method to start tomato cutting, if you were to try this, my only advice would be to keep the plants out of direct sunlight and keep soil very moist. What's that you say? Direct sun, in a greenhouse, how..what the.. well gentle reader, we have 70% shade cloth over this whole beast, so it really isn't direct sun and as I said, there is a lot of water in those buckets. Anyway, if you want a video overview of the process here you go, starring my lovely wife!
