How to propagate heather by cuttings

1. Cutting method

1. Time: You need to choose the right time when grafting heather. It can be done in summer or around November in autumn.

2. Branches: The branches needed for cuttings must be in good growth condition. Weak branches are not allowed, as such branches are difficult to root. Use strong, clean branches that are free of diseases and insect pests. These branches will take root quickly.

3. Remove leaves: There cannot be too many leaves on the cuttings, so you need to remove all the leaves at the bottom. This will reduce the evaporation of water in the soil and speed up rooting to a certain extent.

4. Cuttings: Prepare some soil and flower pots for cuttings. When cuttings, first dig a hole in it, and then insert the branches into the soil. If it is forced into the soil, its branches will easily be damaged.

2. Precautions

After cuttings, it is best to cover it with a layer of plastic film to reduce the evaporation rate of water. Also, the cuttings should not be exposed to sunlight when they are just grafted. They should be exposed to sunlight more slowly after the branches have grown roots.
