I. time selection

The cutting time should be chosen properly, and the proper time can improve the rooting rate. It can be selected from March to April in spring, when the growth is good and the rooting speed is relatively fast. It can also be selected from July to August in summer, with high surrounding humidity, which is also helpful for rooting.
