Cutting propagation method of Prunus aviculare

Cutting propagation method

Cutting seedlings

The bird's nest is easy to root when propagated by cuttings. Hard branches are usually used for cuttings, and soft branches are not selected for cuttings. This is because the young branches have very strict requirements on temperature and humidity, and the survival rate is not very high.

Collecting cuttings

In autumn, you can select healthy and strong mother branches of Prunus thunbergii trees as cuttings.

Storing cuttings

Cut the collected cuttings into stem segments of equal length, bundle them into bundles, put them in a cellar and cover them with sand.

Cuttings

Take the cuttings out of the cellar, soak them in clean water for two to three days, and then water them after upright cuttings on the seedbed to allow the cuttings to be in close contact with the soil, which will encourage the cuttings to take root and survive as soon as possible.

Cutting management

Generally speaking, the cuttings will gradually grow roots in twenty days. During this period, water management should be strengthened to keep the seedbed moist to prevent the cuttings from dying due to water loss.
