1. Cutting method1. Branch selection: It is important to select suitable cuttings. The best length is about 10 cm, and it is best to choose strong branches growing from the top. There should be buds on the branches, and it would be best if there are 2-3 buds. When pruning, try to be quick to avoid causing more damage to the branches. 2. Processing: After selecting the branches, the leaves should be cut off. Generally, only 2-3 leaves on the top are needed. The bottom of the cuttings should be cut obliquely so that the branches can better absorb nutrients and water and take root faster. Afterwards, use potassium permanganate to disinfect and dry it in the sun. 3. Substrate: The substrate for cuttings should be selected well. It likes to grow in a fertile and breathable substrate. The cutting substrate can be prepared by mixing humus, garden soil, river sand and organic fertilizer. The soil should be clean, and it would be better if it can be disinfected before use. 4. Cuttings: When taking cuttings, do not damage the stem bark, otherwise the wound will rot very easily. Carefully insert it into the substrate, place it in a semi-shaded location, and control the temperature at 13-18℃. It will take about 15-20 days to take root. 2. Cutting timeThe best time to propagate geranium cuttings is in spring and autumn, which is its peak growth period. The growth rate will be faster after propagation. June and July are its dormant period and cuttings cannot be taken at this time as the branches will easily turn black and rot in the soil. |
