The best time for cuttings

1. You can choose to do it when you change the pot for daily cuttings; generally, the pot is changed once every 1-2 years, and the time for changing the pot should be chosen in spring;

2. All growing seasons are suitable for cuttings, especially in spring and autumn, when the success rate is relatively high;

Cutting method

Choose sticks that are full and strong. There is no requirement for the length of the sticks, they can be shorter or longer as you like. Then place it in a cool place to dry for 1 to 2 days, and insert it into the soil after the wound is completely dry. After inserting it into the soil, keep the soil in the pot moist to help it take root. It will take about 20 days for new roots to grow.

Maintenance after cutting

Do not place the cuttings in the sun immediately after grafting, as this will reduce the survival rate of the cuttings.

Do not water too often after cuttings, just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. If you water too frequently at this time, the part inserted in the soil will easily rot.

After cuttings, there should be a good ventilation environment, which is conducive to rooting.

The temperature should be kept between 15 and 25 degrees, which is its normal growth temperature.

If the temperature is too low in winter, you can cover it with a layer of film, which can keep warm and allow the soil to maintain a certain humidity. But around noon, you should remove the film and let it breathe.
