1. How long does it take for cuttings to take root?Plum blossoms are usually propagated by cuttings from November to January. Since the temperature is not high at this time, the rooting speed is not fast and it usually takes two months. However, compared with cuttings in other seasons, winter cuttings have the highest survival rate. 2. Cutting method1. Cutting time: The time for plum blossom cuttings is mostly in winter. Unlike many plants, its survival rate of cuttings is the lowest in spring, but the survival rate is very high in winter, generally reaching about 90%. Compared with a high temperature environment, it prefers a climate with soft light and suitable humidity, which is very helpful for rooting. 2. Cuttings processing: The cuttings for plum blossoms should be 1-2 year old branches, and hard branches must be used. Soft branch cuttings have very high requirements for the environment and are generally not easy to succeed. Select a healthy mother tree and cut a 10-15 cm long branch. Since it was winter, there were no leaves to deal with. 3. Prepare the substrate: To ensure the survival of cuttings, the quality of the substrate plays a key role. Generally, sandy loam is used as the soil, which is loose, fertile and breathable, and can reduce the risk of bacterial growth. If you prepare it yourself, you need to use leaf mold as the main ingredient and add an appropriate amount of perlite to ensure its drainage ability. 4. Carry out cuttings: Insert the bottom of the cuttings into the soil. You can poke a hole before cutting. The hole should be deep so that it can be fixed. It is enough to expose two centimeters at the top. After cuttings, water them thoroughly and cover them with plastic film. This can keep them warm and moisturize, which is more helpful for them to take root. |
