Can orange trees be propagated by cuttings?

Orange tree cuttings precautions

Choosing branches: When choosing this, you must choose very strong ones, without any diseases or pests, and the branches are relatively thick. Generally, branches about 10 cm long will be enough. Because citrus branches will have leaves, you only need to keep 2 to 3 leaves, which is conducive to the survival of citrus.

Prepare nutrient soil: First, you need to find some garden soil, and then add some organic and fertile fertilizers into it to ensure the fertility of the nutrient soil.

To carry out cuttings: First, you need to place the sterilized branches in a dry and ventilated place for 1 to 2 days, and then place them in loose soil. At this time, you must compact the soil properly and place it in a semi-shaded environment. It will take about 1 to 2 days to take root.

Maintenance and management methods of orange trees after cuttings

After the cuttings are processed, they can be propagated. Take out the cuttings, dip them in some rooting powder, and insert them into the sand bed at a slight angle. The depth is generally about half. Then water them appropriately. Water them thoroughly to ensure that the growth medium is moist but no water accumulates. Apply appropriate shade and maintain for a period of time.
