When is the cutting of wood fragrance flower

1. Which month to take cuttings

The cuttings of osmanthus are usually carried out in June and July, when the climate is more suitable and more helpful for its growth. The temperature should be controlled between 20-25℃ to enable rapid rooting. Too high a temperature can easily cause the cuttings to rot, while too low a temperature can affect their rooting speed.

2. Cutting method

1. Select branches: If you want to ensure the survival of cuttings, the selection of branches is the key. Choose a plant of osmanthus that is free of pests and diseases, and cut a branch about 10 cm long, leaving leaves and 3-4 buds on it.

2. Cuttings processing: The cuttings must be disinfected after being cut. Cut the bottom cut into a bevel, then soak it in a solution of carbendazim or apply some wood ash. Remove the leaves at the base and keep only the top two leaves.

3. Carry out cuttings: After the cuttings are processed, they must be cut immediately, otherwise it will affect the survival. Prepare loose and fertile potting soil, poke a hole on the surface with chopsticks, and insert the cuttings into the hole. The soil in the pot should be slightly moist, but not too wet.

4. Subsequent maintenance: After cutting, water less and do not apply fertilizer. At the same time, pay attention to temperature control and moisturizing. The temperature should be kept between 20-25℃, which is helpful for rooting. Spray water regularly every day to keep the environment moist.
