When to plant poinsettia

1. Planting time

Generally, when planting poinsettia, the cutting method is mostly used, because this method is very easy to survive. This planting method is best carried out in spring, and is more suitable around March to May. If planted at this time, the branches will easily take root. If planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse, it can be done all year round as long as the temperature is 15 degrees.

2. Planting Method

1. Pruning: When cutting planting cuttings, do it in the morning and cut a relatively strong branch. When pruning, the wound should be flat. It can be cut horizontally or obliquely, and the incision should be 0.5 cm from the bud point.

2. Treatment: After pruning, rinse with clean water, apply a little wood ash on the cut, or use rooting powder. After treatment, its rooting rate will be greatly improved. You can also soak the branches in potassium permanganate.

3. Planting: After simple processing, insert the branches into the substrate to a depth of 2.5 cm. It should be noted that the depth of the cuttings should be paid attention to. If they are too deep, they will easily rot.
