Generally speaking, this method is the simplest and most efficient, and it is also more suitable for families. So if you are planting on a large scale, you can choose sowing, but when the demand is not large, you can choose this method, which is not only simple, but also faster. It is usually carried out in June and July, when the temperature is more suitable for the growth of cuttings. It is neither too hot for the branches to adapt, nor too cold to cause frostbite.

process

First of all, you need to choose the cuttings. It is best to choose branches that have already started to become woody. Cut off the top buds and use them as cuttings. The probability of survival is still very high. The lower end of the cuttings that touches the substrate should be inclined, so that the area of ​​the substrate will be larger, and the ability to absorb water and nutrients will be improved.

Then dip it in a little rooting powder, which is a step that is beneficial to rooting. It is best to mix a little basic fertilizer into the substrate used for cuttings, so as to ensure their nutrition during the initial period. If conditions permit, the substrate can also be disinfected to prevent it from containing pathogens or larvae. After preparation, just insert the cuttings diagonally into the soil.

Maintenance

After planting, water it in time so that the soil and cuttings can be combined more closely. At the same time, be sure to block out the sunlight so that the cuttings will not be burned by the sun in the beginning due to lack of adaptation. When the rooting situation is relatively stable, you can not only remove the shade, but also consider transplanting.
