Camellia cutting - The Plant Aide

It can be cutted all the year round, but it is recommended in spring and autumn. Select the annual semi lignified branches, about 6-10cm in length. The leaves under the branches should be cut off, and they can also be made into paste by mixing soil and rooting powder, and then put it on the bottom of the branches. The substrate used for cutting can be sand soil. After cutting, the branches can be inserted into the sand soil. After cutting, sufficient water can be poured into the soil to keep good ventilation, and then the rooting can wait.

II. Cutting branches

For the selection of branches, we need to be careful. The annual semi lignified branches with a length of about 6-10 cm and 2-3 nodes above should be selected. After cutting the branches, the lower leaves should be cut off, the larger leaves should be cut off by 1 /2, and the top 2-3 leaves should be kept, which can reduce the evaporation of water. It can also be mixed with soil and rooting powder to make a paste, and then applied to the bottom of the branch.
