It is better to carry out Cuttage Propagation of Kumquat from April to June, when the sun is not big and the temperature is suitable, so it is easier to survive. We should choose the thick branches, insert them into the sandy soil, put them in the full or half shade environment, use plastic bags to moisturize, and pay attention to the humidity of the soil. When the new leaves are scattered, the young plants can be replaced with new pots.

I. time

It is best to use it to reproduce in spring and summer, April to June is the best time, because in this period of time, the temperature stays above 20 ℃, without the sun exposure, the seedlings used for cutting are easier to survive and grow.

II. Process

1. First, select the branches that grow very strong from the mother tree, and cut them off. It only needs to leave about 7-10CM, and leave one or two petioles on the branches. The upper leaves only need to leave half, and the rest are cut off. After cutting it off, you can seal the wound with wax, so that the water will not evaporate.

2. Use a basin with moderate size and good drainage effect as its cutting basin. Look for some sandy soil, which should be soft enough. Then put the soil in the basin after disinfection and insert the branches. If it is planted in April or may, the part inserted into the soil needs to account for two-thirds of the whole branch, and then put it in the half shade area for maintenance. If it is planted in June, two fifths of the branches need to be inserted into the soil, and then it should be placed in the full shade environment. In general, in order to improve its survival rate, it is best to cut immediately after cutting.

3. After it is inserted into the soil, it should be watered through, and then the basin should be covered with a transparent bag, so that when it rains, it won't be drenched, and bacteria can't invade it, and the most important advantage of this is that it can keep a certain amount of water in the branch, and it won't die due to water volatilization, which can better protect its growth.

III. daily maintenance

After cutting it, it can grow roots and sprout buds in about two months. Every few days between these two months, the plastic bag should be taken apart to let it breathe. At the same time, pay attention to the condition of soil. If it is dry, water it to help it increase humidity. When the new leaves on the branches spread, the plastic bags can be removed, and the young plants can be replaced with new pots
