Time and method of cutting chrysanthemum

1. Cutting time

There is actually no particular time limit for its cuttings, but it is best to do it between April and May in spring, when the temperature is suitable and the cuttings are more likely to take root and survive. Be careful to avoid the high temperature season in summer, especially after July, as cuttings at this time are likely to reduce the number of flowers.

2. Cutting method

1. Cut branches: Cut cuttings from the mother plant with good growth. Be careful not to make them too long, about 20 cm in length will be enough. In addition, there should be a terminal bud and a leaf bud on the cuttings. After cutting, soak it in rooting water for two hours, which will be more conducive to rooting.

2. Prepare the soil: Before cutting, prepare suitable soil that contains humus and is loose. After preparation, spray it with a spray bottle to keep it slightly moist.

3. Insert into the soil: After the soil is prepared, you can carry out cuttings. First, use a stick to poke a small hole in the soil surface, then put the cuttings in and compact the surrounding soil. After insertion, spray an appropriate amount of water and cover it with a plastic bag to keep it moist. Finally, just place it in a semi-shaded and ventilated place. Be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight in a hurry, as it can easily get sunburned and fail to survive.
