Can the cuttings of osmanthus trees survive?

1. Can it be inserted alive?

The branches of osmanthus can be grown by cuttings, but if the operation is not done properly, they will not be able to take root. This is also a common propagation method, which is usually carried out in spring or autumn. Cuttings can be taken in March-May or September-October. The temperature during cuttings should be controlled at around 25°C. If the temperature is too high or too low, the cuttings may not take root.

2. Cutting method

1. Branches: The branches used for cuttings should grow well and be grown in the same year. The stronger they grow, the higher the survival rate will be. Do not use diseased branches, as there will be residual bacteria on such branches, and even if the cuttings survive, their growth will be very poor.

2. Processing: Find a pair of scissors, trim the top into a flat edge, but cut the bottom at an angle. You don't need to keep too many leaves on the branches, just about 3 leaves on the top. After pruning, place it in rooting solution and take it out after soaking for 60 minutes.

3. Cutting: Prepare the cutting medium in advance and disinfect it before cutting. Then insert the treated branches into it. Do not insert them directly into the soil. It is best to poke a hole first and then insert the branches. Finally, compact the surrounding soil and water it appropriately.
