In order to ensure the survival rate, Tamarix cutting can be carried out from May to June in spring. This period is more appropriate, with high temperature, stable without too much fluctuation, and high humidity. Therefore, the survival rate of cutting is higher, and it is in the period of growth and germination, with rapid growth rate.
The branches of Tamarix are very easy to take root. You can cut the branches from the strong plants as cuttings. Before cutting, you should carefully check whether there is any impact of pests and diseases to prevent the later period from affecting the growth. The length of the branches does not need to be too long, about 15 cm. The cut branches can't be used as cuttings at once. They need to be treated properly. Remove the leaves at the bottom and keep 3-4 leaves at the top.
After the branches are treated, the cuttage substrate can be prepared, the sand with good permeability can be used, and a certain amount of base fertilizer needs to be added to increase nutrition.
After laying the sand bed, you can dip the branches with a little rooting powder, and then cut them in. After cutting, water shall be poured into the soil once every 8 days. If it is put in a well ventilated place, it will soon take root and grow. It will grow to about 1 meter in the same year.
