The fastest way to root chrysanthemum cuttings

Chrysanthemum cutting time

Chrysanthemum cuttings have the highest survival rate in a warm and humid environment. Usually, cuttings in spring from March to June are the best, and can make the branches take root quickly. However, there is more rain in March and April, so cuttings are best in May and June. Be careful to avoid the high temperature season in summer, especially after July, when cuttings are likely to reduce the number of flowers.

Simple method of chrysanthemum cuttings

1. Pruning : Cut the chrysanthemum cuttings from the well-growing mother plant. Be careful not to make them too long, only about 20 cm. In addition, the cuttings should have terminal buds and leaf buds. After cutting, soak them in rooting water for two hours to facilitate rooting.
2. Prepare the soil : Prepare suitable humus-containing and loose soil before chrysanthemum cuttings. Once it is ready, spray it with a spray bottle to keep it slightly moist. When the soil is ready, you can cut it. First, poke a small hole in the soil surface with a stick, then put the cuttings in and compact the surrounding soil.
3. Potting : After the chrysanthemum is cut, spray it with an appropriate amount of water and cover it with a plastic bag to keep it moist. Finally, place it in a semi-cloudy and ventilated place.

Chrysanthemum cutting rooting method

Before chrysanthemum cuttings, soak the cuttings in rooting water for half an hour, which can significantly increase the germination rate and make it easier for the cuttings to survive after cuttings.

If the environmental temperature is suitable, chrysanthemums can take root quickly, and the rooting time is inseparable from the activity of the cuttings. Cuttings can take root in ten and a half days after one to two years. If properly maintained, there is no problem with rooting and sprouting within a week.

How to judge whether the cutting chrysanthemum has taken root

Whether the chrysanthemum has taken root depends on whether its leaves are firm. If they are straight, it means that it has taken root or will soon take root. Just wait quietly.

How long should I water the newly cut chrysanthemums?

Chrysanthemums should be watered in time after cuttings, and management can be carried out according to the soil conditions. If the soil is too dry, water it once a month to keep the soil slightly moist. If there is too much rain, timely drainage will cause root necrosis, so timely drainage is necessary.
