How to propagate Magnolia by cuttings

1. Cutting time

The best time for magnolia cuttings is May to June, when the temperature is more suitable. It takes root fastest in an environment of 20-25 degrees Celsius, and its germination ability is also very strong, so the survival rate is relatively high.

2. Cutting selection

Cuttings are the main factor for the success of cuttings. You can choose branches grown in the current year. They must be strong and free of diseases and pests. Cut the branches to a length of about 15 cm, not too long. Then dry the incision slightly, keep the leaves on the upper end, and remove the leaves on the lower end to prevent them from being buried in the soil and rotting.

3. Prepare the medium

The medium for cuttings of white magnolia should be loose and breathable. Clean perlite or river sand can be used to ensure good drainage. Do not use heavy and compacted soil. After preparing the medium, spray some water on it to keep it moist and promote rooting.

4. Take cuttings

Dip the branches in rooting powder and insert them into the medium. Don't insert them too deep, as long as the roots can take root tightly. Always spray water to keep the substrate moist. Also spray water in the surrounding environment in time. Pay attention to the air humidity. You can cover it with plastic film to keep it warm and moisturizing.
