Cuttage can be operated in four seasons, but it is most suitable in spring and autumn. Cut the branches from the plants with good growth, with leaves on the branches, about 8-12cm in length. When the branches are inserted into the sand bed, they are easy to take root at 20-25 ℃. In the later stage, the culture soil should be well mixed, and the application of water should be paid attention to, so as not to cause water accumulation.

I. cutting time

There are not too many restrictions on the cutting time. Generally, it can be operated in all seasons of the year, but it is most suitable in spring and autumn. During this period, the climate is relatively mild, the rooting speed is relatively fast, and the probability of later survival is higher. If cutting in summer, you need to reduce the surrounding temperature, winter cutting needs to be transferred to indoor, so as to ensure the survival rate.

2. Cut the insert

Cut the branches from the plants with good growth, and the branches should have leaves, so the probability of success will be higher. The length of the cuttings is about 8-12cm, and the leaves of the lower part are removed, otherwise, the cuttings are easy to rot. Then put the branches in a cool place to dry, about 1 - 2 days later, the wound will dry.

3. Cutting

Insert the branches into the sand bed, keep the surrounding temperature well, it is easy to take root under the environment of about 20-25 ℃, if the surrounding maintenance conditions are suitable, it will take half a month to take root.

IV. cultivation and maintenance

Later culture soil can be mixed with saprophytic soil and garden soil. The former has a larger proportion, so there will be more nutrients. Tiles should be placed at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate drainage. After that, attention should be paid to the application of water, which can not lead to water accumulation.
