Cutting propagation

It should be carried out in spring or the rainy season from July to August. Cut off one-year-old plants with substantial tissue, medium maturity and gray-green epidermis. The above branches are used as cuttings, and the young branches of the current year should not be used. The cuttings are 10~15cm long and have 4~5 nodes. Cut off the leaves between the 1st and 2nd nodes to reduce water evaporation from the leaves. In order to expand the root surface and absorb water, the cutting edge needs to be cut obliquely and flatly to improve the survival rate of the cuttings. When the temperature is between 18°C ??and 25°C, rooting will take place 35-40 days after transplanting. If the temperature is lower than 18°C, rooting will be delayed by 5-7 days.

If you use "Root Sun" rooting agent to process rooting, the rooting will be faster. Treatment method: Mix 350 times liquid rooting agent and yellow mud into mud, dip the cutting edge of the cuttings into the mud, and wait until it is processed. After the mud is dry, insert it into the seedling pond. When inserting it into the seedling pond, use a stick to insert the hole first and then insert the seedlings to prevent the yellow mud from breaking away from the cuttings and affecting the rooting effect. The cutting medium can be directly made of river sand or yellow mud, and the spacing between rows is 9cmx12cm. After transplanting, it should be covered with 70% to 80% shade net, and then watered thoroughly. From then on, spray water 1 to 2 times a day to keep the soil in the bed moist. Can. The temperature is 18℃~25℃, and roots can be established 20~25 days after insertion.
