I. cutting time

Its cutting propagation time is generally selected after the annual flowering period, probably from December to April of the next year. The best cutting propagation time is from January to February, because the branches at this time are very strong and the quality is also very good.

The soil of cutting

It is the first step to select cutting soil. Generally, planting garden soil will be selected. The treated soil has more nutrients, and the cuttings are easy to survive. In order to ensure good drainage and air permeability, a certain proportion of sandy soil will be added for mixing.

In order to germinate smoothly in the future, the selection of mother plant is the most important. We need to choose the plants with normal growth, more flowers and slightly thicker branches. First, choose a branch with good growth, then choose a thick lateral bud from the middle of it, about three centimeters in length, so that the selection of cutting branches is over

4. Cutting method

The cuttings are needed after the cuttings are removed. Insert the selected branches into the soil to about one third of the total length. After inserting, you must remember to water it thoroughly, and then move it to an environment of about 13 degrees Celsius. You must take care of it carefully in the later period.

5. Post cutting management

On the second day after cutting, you must remember to water again. If you find that the leaves on the branches are withered and soft, you can sprinkle water on the leaves to keep the planting soil in a slightly wet state. If the sun is better, you can shade the plant a little, about 15 days. Carefully cooking, about 30 days time will find that cutting branches grow small roots, and in another month time can be transplanted to other flowerpots for maintenance
