The most suitable cutting time is from April to June and from August to October every year, when the branches of Photinia rosea are lignified.
The cuttings should grow healthily. The branches with a growth period of about one year can be cut off as cuttings when the red leaves on the new shoots start to turn green. The length of the cuttings is about 5cm to 8cm. It is necessary to keep the top buds on the branches. It is more appropriate to leave a small half of the larger leaves and a large half of the smaller ones. In addition, the cutting of cuttings should be smooth.
The cuttings should be well moisturized, watered and shaded in time. When cutting cuttings, it is better to use professional tools to cut them, so as to reduce the wound. The scissors should be sterilized irregularly to prevent cross infection of virus. The cutting time and cutting time should be before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. in overcast days. The cut of the ear should be treated with rooting agent in order to speed up the rooting speed and improve the survival rate of Photinia rosea.
