Cutting method of Michelia

1. Selection of cutting materials

Everyone should be familiar with the principles of selection. First of all, of course, you have to choose sturdy branches, so that it is easier to succeed. Also, there should be no diseases or pests, which is beneficial for its future growth and development. Then there is the issue of length. It is better to have one that is neither too long nor too short. Also, it is best to prune so that there are not too many leaves left.

2. Choice of flower soil

As mentioned above, this step is also very important. The most basic requirements are looseness and fertility, both of which are closely related to the survival rate. Also, based on the characteristics of this plant itself, it is suitable for slightly acidic flower soil, and humus is the best. So, it is best to meet this requirement. In addition, in order to better meet its needs, some perlite can be added to the selected soil. Also, to be on the safe side, the flower soil can be disinfected to kill bacteria.

3. Start cuttings

The best time is early spring. After choosing the above two, you can start the formal cutting process. When inserting, be careful not to break the branches. Another thing you need to pay attention to is the depth issue. Don't plant it too shallowly, otherwise the roots will not be strong enough. Of course, being too deep is not good either, and this needs to be determined based on experience.

4. Post-management

As we said before, post-management is also very necessary and has a great impact. The most important thing is temperature. Only when the temperature is suitable can it grow roots faster. Specifically, it needs to be kept around twenty degrees. The most important thing is to provide shade so that it is not exposed to too strong light.
