If Nanking cherry branches want to be cutted, they need to choose suitable cutting time and control the environment temperature at the same time. If the time is not right, the branches may be fake. Although they can grow new buds and flowers, they will not take root. In order to improve the survival rate of cuttings, we need to properly handle the cuttings.
1. Cutting time: Nanking cherry is usually cut in spring, and the temperature will slowly rise at this time, which is more favorable for its growth. The temperature is too high in summer, which is easy to breed bacteria and affect the growth of roots. Autumn and winter are easy to frostbite plants, reduce its survival rate.
2. Ear cutting treatment: select a Nanking cherry tree with strong growth and no pests. Cut a lignified branch from the top, about 15 cm long. Remove the leaves at the base of the branch, and only keep the 3-5 leaves above. The incision should be cut into a slope to increase the contact area with the soil, which is more conducive to rooting.
3. Cutting: before cutting, soak the bottom of the branch into the rooting powder solution. After 30 minutes, take it out and wash it with clear water, and put it in a cool place to dry. Insert the dried branches into the plain sand, with a depth of about 10 cm, and then water them.
4. Follow up maintenance: after cutting, in order to ensure that it can take root faster, it is necessary to provide a humid environment. Watering should be more frequent. At the same time, you can spray water around to improve the air humidity. At the same time, we should pay attention to shade to avoid sun damage.
