Blueberry cutting method

1. Branch selection

   When taking blueberry cuttings, be sure to choose good blueberry branches. The length of each branch should be about 30 cm. Cut off all the leaves on the lower side of the branch and only keep 1-2 leaves on the top. This can reduce water loss and increase the survival rate of the blueberry branches.

2. Take cuttings

   Insert the blueberry branches vertically into the substrate, with the top buds exposed, and spray water appropriately. If multiple cuttings are taken, keep the distance between the blueberry branches more than 5 cm to prevent the blueberry branches from being too dense and causing poor development. After cuttings, keep the soil moist to avoid waterlogging. Remember not to fertilize before rooting.
