How to propagate Salvia affine by cuttings

How to propagate Salvia affine by cuttings

Preliminary work for cutting propagation of Salvia affine

Selection of cuttings:

The cuttings of Amaranthus should be selected from healthy branches of healthy mother plants. The branches should have about two internodes and be about 5-10 cm in length.

Matrix preparation:

The best substrate is coarse river sand or vermiculite. If conditions are limited, sandy soil can also be used.

Steps for cutting of red sage

1. First, remove all the leaves at the base of the cuttings, leaving only the leaves on the top, and use a knife to cut them into a 45° slope at about 3.5 cm.

2. Disinfect the substrate with disinfectant before cutting.

3. When taking cuttings, first use a wooden stick to poke a hole in the substrate to facilitate the insertion of the cuttings, and insert the cuttings about halfway into the substrate.

4. After the cuttings are completed, water the cuttings and move them to a cool place. After they take root, they can be transplanted into pots.

Things to note after cutting of Red Spruce:

Water the plants promptly and make sure they are in the shade.
