1. Branch selection: It is very important to select suitable cuttings, the best length is about 10cm, and the best is the strong branch growing at the top.Branches should also have buds on them, if they can have 2-3 buds, it is best.When cutting, try to be as fast as possible to avoid more damage to the branches.
2. Treatment: After branch selection, the leaves should be cut off, generally as long as there are 2-3 leaves on the top.The bottom of the cutting should be cut obliquely, which can make the branch better absorb nutrients and water, and the rooting speed will be faster.Aft that, potassium permanganate is used for disinfection and air.
3. Matrix: The matrix for cuttage should be well selected. It likes to grow in fertile and breathable matrix. The matrix for cuttage can be prepared by mixing humus soil, garden soil, river sand and organic fertilizer.The soil should be clean, and it would be better if it could be disinfected before use.
4, cuttage: In the cuttage, do not hurt its stem skin, otherwise the wound is very easy to rot.Carefully insert it into the substrate, put it in a semi-shade position, control the temperature at 13-18 C, and it will take about 15-20 days to take root.
Cutting geranium is best in spring and autumn, when it is growing vigorously, the growth rate after cutting will be faster.In June and July is its dormant period, this time is not cuttage, branches in the soil inside is easy to black rot.
