Generally speaking, it can be done during the growing season. If you take cuttings at this time, it will be easier for them to germinate and take root, and they will be more stable.

2. Preparation

1. Choose cuttings: First, choose a lush and strong mother plant. Then, choose the one-year-old and healthy branches, and make sure that the branches have more than two nodes. After making your choice, you must first disinfect tools such as scissors, and then cut the branches.

2. Prepare the substrate: air permeability and looseness are very important standards, followed by good drainage, fertility, etc. Specifically, you can mix a part of vermiculite with sand and use one part as culture soil.

3. Take cuttings

First put the prepared substrate into the container, and make sure the substrate has an appropriate level of moisture to facilitate subsequent survival and development. After installation, insert the branches into the substrate at appropriate intervals.

4. Subsequent maintenance and potting

After the cuttings are completed, place the entire container in a cool place. Note that the substrate must always be kept at an appropriate moisture level, but no water can accumulate. Also, the air humidity should not be too low. After about a month, you can observe rooting. At this time, you can transplant it into the pot. Also pay attention to the choice of soil, fertile, loose sandy loam is preferred.
