How to propagate Fragrant Wood by cuttings

Cutting time

When taking cuttings, it can be done in spring or autumn, and the normal flowering time is in spring.

Preparation of cuttings

When the plant is in a dormant period, we can select a mother plant with good growth, select healthy branches on it, and cut it into 10 to 15 cm cuttings. The upper cut should be 1 to 1.5 cm away from the bud point, and the lower distance should be 0.3 to 0.5 cm.

Processing cuttings

After cutting the cuttings, soak the wound in rooting powder for 12 to 24 hours to promote root growth.

Prepare the substrate

Before cutting, we need to prepare the soil for cutting. Usually, acidic or neutral soil with good air permeability and moderate water retention will be enough. River sand is recommended here because it will greatly increase its survival rate. After the matrix is ​​prepared, it must be disinfected before use.

Cutting plants

Before inserting the cuttings into the soil, we need to dig a trench in the soil and then bury the cuttings in it. The depth should be more than half of the cuttings. After planting, find a film to cover it, mainly to increase the humidity of the air. Then we need to manage it carefully. If managed properly, the cuttings will start to take root in about 45 days.
