How to propagate white flower pine by cuttings

1. Cutting time

The time for cuttings should be chosen well, preferably in spring from March to May, which happens to be the time when the climate is mild and the growth and germination ability is relatively strong, which is conducive to survival after cuttings.

2. Cutting cuttings

Choose a sturdy white pine with vigorous growth, select the top branches, cut them off from the top, and then place them aside to dry so that water no longer flows from the cut. In addition to branches, you can also pick leaves and cut them from the plant. They must be plump, full, and free of pests and diseases. They cannot be used for cuttings immediately after cutting, and need to be dried in the sun for 2-3 days.

3. Prepare the matrix

The preparation of the substrate is relatively important. You can prepare clean plain sand, and there will be no stagnant water. It must be disinfected before use and can be exposed to the sun.

4. Take cuttings

After the preparation work is completed, you can start cutting. The operation is relatively simple. Insert the cut branches into the substrate, but not too deep. If it is a leaf, just lay it flat on the substrate so that the root part is in contact with the soil. After the cuttings are taken care of carefully, avoid strong light at first and keep the moisture level up. They will take root after a while.
