1. Which months can we take cuttings?Generally speaking, spring and autumn are more suitable, and the main consideration is temperature. Specifically, it can be from April to July or from September to October. The temperature during these two periods is relatively suitable. If you take cuttings at this time, it will be easy for them to take root and sprout and grow better. Especially in May, the flowering is almost over at this time, which means that the cuttings can be cut at the same time as the post-flowering pruning, which is more convenient. In addition, cuttings can also be taken in February, when new leaf buds sprout. It is easier to survive if you choose semi-lignified branches. 2. Cutting steps1. Select and process branches: Choose strong, preferably semi-lignified branches with enough buds, and cut them with a sterilized knife. Then you need to trim it before you can do cuttings, leaving only two leaves, and cut off the rest of the leaves. This is to reduce water loss and facilitate survival. The wound can be treated with carbendazim to prevent it from rotting. 2. Prepare the substrate: it should be loose, breathable, well-drained and rich in nutrients. After the substrate is prepared, it is best to disinfect it before use. 3. Carry out cuttings: insert the cuttings obliquely into the substrate. Then place it in a cool, well-ventilated place, keep the substrate moist, and it will take root in about twenty days. |
