How to propagate gray lily by cuttings

1. Cutting time

The cutting time of gray lily is relatively wide, from spring to autumn. In the south, it is mostly chosen during the rainy season, when the climate is relatively humid, which is conducive to its rooting.

2. Cuttings processing

Select a healthy plant that is free of pests and diseases, and cut 1-2 year old sturdy branches that are between 12-15 cm in length. The branches should have 2-3 leaves, and the cutting position should be 2 mm below the node, which is more conducive to its rooting.

3. Pot soil preparation

In order to ensure the healthy growth of gray lily, choose loose and fertile soil for planting. Peat soil, sandy loam or vermiculite can be used as potting soil, among which peat soil has better rooting effect. The soil does not need a base of fertilizer, otherwise it will cause damage to the new roots.

4. Take cuttings

Poke a hole in the surface of the potting soil and insert the bottom of the lily into it. After insertion, make sure it will not fall over, spray a little water and put it in a plastic bag to effectively moisturize it. Generally, it will take root after 1-2 months and has a high survival rate.
