How long does it take for purple bamboo plum to take root after cuttings, and what kind of soil should be used

1. Cutting method

When cutting purple bamboo plum, you should choose healthy branches and cut them into small segments of about 8 cm. You must also ensure that each small segment has three or four leaf nodes. Don't insert it too deep, about two or three centimeters deep into the soil will be enough. After planting, press the soil firmly with your fingers to ensure that the cuttings stand upright.

2. How long does it take to take root?

After cuttings, keep them in a cool place, avoid strong sunlight, and make sure to keep the soil moist at all times. As long as the environment is suitable, they will usually take root and survive in less than half a month. At that time, you can gently pull the cuttings. If there is obvious resistance, it means that roots have taken root.

3. What soil to use

When taking cuttings, you should choose soil that is well-breathable, loose and fertile. You can prepare it yourself by mixing decomposed organic fertilizer, river sand, leaf mold and garden soil in the ratio of 1:1:3:5. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to moisten the soil with water before planting, so that the cuttings can absorb water more easily.
