1. Cutting cuttingsIn order to ensure the survival of plum cuttings, it is generally necessary to choose varieties that are easy to root. The mother tree should not be too old. Choose branches that are relatively thick and the length of the cuts should be about 10-15 cm. Cut the bottom of the branch into a bevel to increase the contact area with the soil and help rooting. 2. Pot soil preparationPlum blossoms grow best in loose, fertile, acidic soil. The potting soil is mainly leaf mold, and a certain amount of perlite can be mixed in. This not only ensures the nutrients needed for growth, but also provides a certain degree of drainage. You can also mix garden soil and river sand, and improve the problem of soil alkalinity by watering with ferrous sulfate. 3. Take cuttingsPlum blossom cuttings are usually taken in early spring or late autumn after the leaves fall, when the temperature is more suitable for its growth. Poke a hole in the surface of the potting soil. The hole should be deep, and the cuttings should only be exposed 2 cm above the soil. Then water it thoroughly and cover it with plastic film to ensure sufficient temperature and humidity inside. 4. Seedling maintenanceIt is not advisable to water during the seedling stage to avoid the soil in the pot being too wet and causing the cuttings to rot. If it is spring cuttings, proper shade is needed during the summer to avoid sun damage to the branches. If cuttings are taken in autumn, the rooting process will be slow and it often takes until the spring of the following year for roots to sprout. |
