How to propagate primroses by cuttings

1. Cutting time

Because primrose is a perennial herb, cuttings are also a method of propagation that can be used. The time selection is relatively flexible, as long as the temperature meets the requirements, it can be done all year round. If you are planting in the open field, you can choose April, May or June.

2. Preparation

1. Cuttings: Choose two-year-old, strong branches, preferably between twelve and fifteen centimeters in length. Prune before cuttings and cut off the lower half of the leaves. Then cut the lower part into an oblique cut. You can treat it with rooting powder solution and soak it for a few hours, which will help the roots to grow faster.

2. Substrate: Use a loose, breathable, and water-permeable substrate, which can be made by mixing humus soil with river sand.

3. Take cuttings

After preparing the cuttings, substrate, and processing the cuttings, you can start propagating them. You can first make a few holes in the substrate and then insert the cuttings diagonally. Don't go too deep.

4. Post-maintenance

Water once after planting and water thoroughly. Then, place it in a ventilated and shaded place. If the light is too strong during the day, you can use tools such as templates to provide appropriate shade. In addition, the substrate must be kept moist. If it is dry, you can replenish water and increase humidity by spraying water, but water should not accumulate. The temperature needs to be maintained between 20 and 25 degrees.
