How to propagate fuchsia by cuttings

1. Cutting time

When taking cuttings, you can do it at any time except the summer dormant period, but April every year is the best time. Because this is the peak growth period, the survival rate is higher.

2. Choose cuttings

When choosing cuttings, it is best to choose branches that are not woody and have tender tips from the current year. The cuttings should be cut into a length of 6 to 10 cm, and all the leaves below can be cut off. But it should be noted that when cutting cuttings, the scissors must be sterilized and the cut must be smooth.

3. Cutting medium

When preparing the medium for cuttings, fine river sand is used, but it must be disinfected with hot water.

4. Cutting method

First soak the cuttings in rooting water for 20 minutes, then use a small stick to poke a few small holes in the substrate, and then insert the cuttings in. The best depth is 3 to 4 cm. The distance between the cuttings can be about 8 cm, which will facilitate their later potting. After the cuttings are completed, you can water it once and cover it with plastic sheeting to keep the cutting bed moist.

5. Management after cutting

After cuttings, place them in a bright place indoors, but not in direct sunlight. The room temperature is best at around 20 degrees. After a week, you can give it some light and spray it with water frequently, and it will take root soon.
