Can evergreen be propagated by cuttings?

Wan Qingnian can be propagated by cuttings. Generally, spring, which is the most suitable time, is April to May. The temperature at this time is relatively mild, which is conducive to rapid rooting and growth in the later period. If the climate in early summer is not high, it can also be extended to the beginning of summer.

Steps for cutting of Dieffenbachia

Choose cuttings: Choose a strong plant, use sterilized scissors to cut off 12-15cm shoots, leave two leaves on the top, and remove the leaves below to reduce water consumption. Apply plant ash to the wound to coagulate the wound to avoid bacterial infection, place it in a cool place to dry the wound, and do not insert it to rot. Wear gloves when cutting, because its juice contains toxins, which can easily irritate the skin if touched by hand.

Cutting: The substrate for cutting needs to be soft, contain certain nutrients, and be kept moist. Then insert the dried branches, leaving one-third of the space.
