How to propagate Barbadensis by cuttings

1. Cutting time

If you want to propagate Erysimum by cuttings, it is best to do so between April and June. Because this is the time when its metabolism is more active. Therefore, after the cuttings are planted in the soil, it is easier for them to grow roots. Moreover, the climate during this period is relatively mild, which is very beneficial for the survival and growth of cuttings.

2. Cutting method

1. Prepare cuttings: Cut a section of branches that have grown that year and are in good growth condition from a healthy mature plant, and remove the leaves on the lower half. Then cut its bottom diagonally, put it in disinfectant to sterilize it, and then take it out to dry.

2. Prepare the flower soil: When taking cuttings, be sure to use loose soil, which will make it easier for it to take root. It is recommended to use leaf mold, river sand and vermiculite to make its flower soil.

3. Carry out cuttings: fill the flower soil into the seedling container of appropriate depth, and then insert the dried cuttings into the soil. Pay attention to controlling the depth of the soil, allowing half of the cuttings to enter the soil.

4. Post-care: Transfer the inserted cuttings to a ventilated, warm location and water them once. After that, water it every 2-3 days and wait for it to take root.
