Camellia cutting propagation should be selected in late spring or early autumn, the specific time is in May to June and September to October these two periods of time, during this period of temperature, humidity, climate are suitable, conducive to rooting and late growth.
Cuttings should be selected from strong and semi-lignified branches to ensure that there are no pests and diseases.After choosing, we should use scissors to deal with the length of 10 centimeters, pick off the leaves below, and leave two or three pieces above.The incision at the bottom should be flat, preferably beveled.
Cutting on the soil almost no requirements, can directly use sand to do the soil, as long as the guarantee of loose, good drainage performance on the line.Flower pots with plastic pots or pottery pots are OK, or directly use disposable cups, but a cup can only insert 1-2.
After the potting soil is prepared, the cuttage can be carried out.When inserting, first use chopsticks to poke several holes on the surface, with a spacing of 3-5 centimeters.Then insert the cuttings into the hole, about 3 centimeters deep, compact the surrounding soil, and water them thoroughly.
After cutting, water thoroughly, and then cover it with plastic film to keep wet and warm.The temperature should be between 18 and 25 degrees, and the leaves should be sprayed with water frequently, so that they can grow for more than a month.Be careful not to rush to bask in the sun, and then gradually increase the light after rooting.
