Magnolia cutting method

1. Cutting method

1. Time: The best time for magnolia cuttings is between May and June. If you want a higher survival rate for magnolia oil, try to do it during this period. Of course, it can also be advanced or delayed for a period of time according to the local climate.

2. Branches: You should cut branches that are stronger and have not suffered from diseases and insect pests. Such branches will be easier to survive. The recommended length of the branches is about 15-20cm.

3. Treatment: The leaves on the top of the branch need to be retained, and the lower part should be cut into an inclined surface. If you have rooting agent at home, it is best to soak the branches in it for about two hours, so that they will take root faster.

4. Cutting: Prepare clean soil free of pathogens, insert the treated branches into the soil, and do not damage the branches during the cutting process. After cuttings, water should be applied in an appropriate amount and the soil should be kept slightly moist.

2. Precautions

After cuttings, the humidity of the magnolia rooting environment needs to be ensured. It should not be too dry and should not be exposed to strong light. The temperature of the rooting environment should be around 20-25℃ with proper ventilation.
