Camellia cutting time and method

1. Best time

There is no strict time requirement for camellia cuttings and it can be done all year round. However, the best time for its cuttings is in spring and autumn, because the temperature at this time is more suitable and the climate is more stable, which is conducive to the survival of new plants. If you want to do cuttings in winter, you need to ensure a good temperature, otherwise the new plants will be difficult to survive.

2. Specific methods

First, prepare a healthy plant and some flower soil with high nutrient content and good air permeability. After that, use sterilized scissors to cut a branch with good growth from the plant, cut it into a length of about 10 cm, and cut off most of the leaves on it. Then fill the prepared flower soil into the flowerpot, poke a small hole in the soil surface with chopsticks, and insert the branch into it. Be careful not to insert it too deep, just allow about half of the branch to be submerged in the soil.

After cuttings, water it once, then place it in a semi-shaded place and maintain the temperature between 20-25℃. Water the plant at the right time and keep the soil slightly moist. After about two months, it will be able to grow new roots. After caring for it for a while, when the new plant grows 3-5 new leaves, you can transplant it into a new pot.
