Notes on Chiyoda's pine leaf cuttings

Blade selection

The leaves of Chiyoda pine are normally very full, but if the water and light are not properly handled, they will wither and fall off. At this time, as long as the leaves are not extremely withered, you can take leaf cuttings.

The plant grows well, but flower lovers who also want to propagate more Chiyoda pines can choose leaves close to the base, which take root quickly.

Season Selection

Chiyoda's pine needles can be planted in spring or summer. The growing season for Chiyoda pine is winter, and its growth is slow in spring and summer. Leaf cuttings are best done in spring and summer because the temperature is suitable; autumn and winter are too cold.

Soil humidity

The soil in the pot for Chiyoda pine needles should be slightly moist, but not too humid, otherwise the leaves will easily rot and fail to take root.

When doing leaf cuttings, place the leaf surface upwards and the back of the leaf downwards. No need to cover with soil. Place in a cool place. Small leaf clusters and new roots will grow from the base of the leaves in about 10 days, and the roots will be buried in the soil.

Light and moisture treatment

After rooting, expose it to more sunlight and water it appropriately, and strong new plants will soon grow.
