Yew cutting time

It is best to take cuttings of yew in spring every year. Spring is its growing season. The ambient temperature at this time is not particularly high, and the air is relatively humid, which is more suitable for the growth of cuttings. Cuttings should be taken in clear weather. Rainy days are not conducive to the recovery of the cuttings' wounds and are prone to rot.

Yew cutting method

1. Prepare the soil

The yew tree is not very demanding on the soil. When taking cuttings, you can choose relatively rough soil as the cutting medium. Prepare sandy soil, leaf mold, perlite or vermiculite, mix them evenly and use them as the culture soil.

2. Choose cuttings

From the yew plants with a growth period of 1-2 years, select strong, disease-free semi-lignified branches, cut about 10-18 cm with sterilized scissors, cut off some leaves, keep 3-5 leaves at the top, and cut off 1/3 of the leaves. Use scissors to trim the bottom of the branch into an oblique surface, and then place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

3. Cuttings

Select an appropriate container according to your needs, cover it with culture soil, smooth the soil, insert the processed yew cuttings into the container, compact the surrounding soil, water it thoroughly once, keep the soil moist, and wait for rooting.

Maintenance of yew after cutting

After the yew cuttings, it needs to be maintained in a cool and ventilated place, and the ambient temperature should be controlled between 20-25 degrees, so as to accelerate rooting. In addition, it likes a humid environment. If the soil is relatively dry, it needs to be watered appropriately to keep it moist.
