Can I take cuttings of green radish in summer?

1. Is it possible to take cuttings?

You can propagate green radish by cuttings in summer. Its growing season is from May to July, which is also its most vigorous growth period. You can directly cut suitable branches for cuttings. The cuttings will grow very lush in autumn. With careful care, you don’t have to worry about it not surviving in winter.

2. Cutting method in summer

1. Potting soil: When cuttings of green radish, choose loose and well-drained nutrient soil. You can add perlite, coarse sand, and peat soil in a ratio of 2:5:3 to avoid waterlogging in the soil.

2. Cut the branches: When choosing branches for cuttings, look for the parts with gray bud structure, cut them with scissors or blades, and then soak the cut branches in rooting powder for about 5 hours.

3. Bury in the soil: Insert the soaked branches into the soil, lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil, and then water them. Water the soil thoroughly, but not too much and no water accumulation. If you want it to take root and sprout faster, you can wrap it with plastic wrap and poke a few small holes to allow for ventilation. It will take about a week to take root and a month to grow leaves.
