Methods and precautions for propagation of tuberose by cuttings

How to propagate tuberose

The propagation methods of tuberose include division, cutting, grafting and layering. It is generally propagated by cutting or grafting because these two methods are simple and quick, and the yield using these two methods is also relatively high.

How to propagate tuberose by cuttings

For tuberose, the best time for cuttings is around May and June, when the temperature is the most suitable and the growth rate is the fastest. The specific cutting method for tuberose is as follows:

1. When taking cuttings of tuberose, choose relatively sturdy and disease-free branches, about 10 cm long.

2. The soil used for tuberose cuttings should be loose, breathable, and relatively fertile. You can prepare the culture soil as the substrate yourself.

3. Before cutting tuberose, keep three buds on the branch, then cut off all the leaves on the lower part, and then you can start cutting.

Precautions for cuttings of tuberose

After cuttings, tuberose should be watered in time and placed in a cool place for maintenance, avoiding strong light exposure. It will take root and sprout about a month after cuttings. Avoid excessive watering, otherwise it will affect the rooting.
