How to propagate hollyhock by cuttings

Cutting medium

First of all, it is the cutting medium, which is what we call nutrient soil. It can be vermiculite, peat soil or river sand. Of course, a mixture of several is also possible, but the cutting medium must be loose and breathable. The main purpose of preparing the cutting medium first is to prevent the cuttings from losing too much water and affecting their normal rooting.

Selection of cuttings

Cuttings are selected from the strong mother branches of hollyhock. Each cutting should be kept between five and eight centimeters, and each cutting should have three to five new bud nodes to increase the survival rate of the cuttings.

Planting

Insert the cut branches into the prepared substrate and water them sufficiently after insertion.

Transplanting

You can transplant them one month after planting. Transplant the rooted hollyhock seedlings into other pots to ensure the air permeability and nutrients of the soil. One month after transplanting, the hollyhock is basically formed.
