Crape myrtle cutting timeCrape myrtle can be propagated by softwood cuttings or hardwood cuttings. Softwood cuttings are best done in July and August, when new branches begin to grow, have strong vitality, and have a high survival rate. Hardwood cuttings are done in March and April before the branches sprout. Crape Myrtle Cutting Method1. Hardwood cuttings Crape myrtle is suitable for hardwood cuttings in spring. Choose a relatively long and healthy branch with a length of about 15 cm. Cut the branch into loose and breathable soil, then water it thoroughly and place it in a warm environment to wait for it to germinate and take root. 2. Softwood cuttings Select a healthy young branch from the mother plant of Crape Myrtle, trim it to a length of 8 to 10 cm, retain 2 to 3 leaves on the branch, cut the young branch into the prepared soil, then water it thoroughly, and place it in a shaded place for maintenance. It will take root in about 20 days. Maintenance of Crape Myrtle after CuttingAfter the crape myrtle is grafted, it is necessary to use a shade net to shade it. It should not be placed directly in the sun. The seedbed should be kept moist and watered with small amounts of clean water.
