Can plum blossoms be propagated by cuttings?

1. Can it be propagated by cuttings?

It can be propagated through cuttings, which is not complicated to operate. However, due to differences in varieties, the survival rate of cuttings is different. The survival rate of the Pixel White Taige variety is relatively high, reaching 80%, while the survival rate of some varieties is relatively low. The time for cuttings is generally around November each year, which is the most suitable time. At this time, the branches have stopped growing, contain more nutrients, and have a relatively high survival rate. You must also pay attention to the cutting method and create a suitable environment.

2. Substrate: The substrate for cuttings needs to be loose loam and have sufficient fertility to ensure sufficient nutrients for growth and survival.

3. Cuttings: Dip the selected branches in rooting powder and then insert them into the soil. After cuttings, slowly press the soil firmly, then spray it with water, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in a place with scattered light. You can transplant and plant it in the second year.
