Begonia cutting propagation method

Begonia cutting propagation method

1. Cutting time

If you want to take cuttings, it is best to do it in April-May, or August-September. Because the temperature during these two periods is around 20℃, it is very suitable for the growth of cuttings. Try not to do cuttings when it is too hot in the summer, because the temperature is too high and it is easy for it to go dormant, thus reducing the success rate.

2. Cutting method

1. Prepare cuttings: Select branches with normal growth and 1-2 flower buds and cut them off. Then use scissors to cut it into small pieces of 5-6cm long, and then cut the bottom end diagonally.

2. Prepare the substrate: To leave more growth space for its young roots, you need to use flower soil with more gaps and a relatively high content of particles as the substrate. It is recommended to mix leaf mold and river sand to make the substrate for cuttings.

3. Carry out cuttings: Soak the cuttings in disinfected water for 20 minutes, then take them out and dry them. Then slowly insert it into the flower soil, so that about 2-3cm long part enters the soil.

4. Post-maintenance: After plugging it in, place it in a relatively cool place at around 20℃ and maintain it slowly. During this period, add water regularly to keep the substrate slightly moist, and it will soon grow roots.
