What kind of branches should be cut for cuttings of Camellia sasanqua

1. Cutting selection

When propagating Camellia sasanqua cuttings, you should choose relatively sturdy branches, and use more tender branches grown in the current year. It is recommended to use semi-lignified branches, which should not have any signs of disease or insect infestation, and the length should be controlled at around 5-7cm. Generally speaking, the outer bark of the branches is reddish-brown, and the axillary buds on them are relatively full, so it is relatively easy to root.

When cutting, there should not be too many leaves on the branches. It is best to remove all the leaves at the bottom and only keep the top 2-3 leaves.

2. Cutting method

1. After processing the branches used for cuttings, you need to select the planting soil and flower pots to be used. The flower pots and cutting media should be clean without too many impurities, and should be disinfected before use as much as possible.

2. If you want it to take root faster, soak it in potassium permanganate for 3 minutes. After processing the cuttings, insert them into the prepared planting soil, water them thoroughly and place them in a shady place.
