The most suitable cutting time is from March to June. Spring is the best, early summer and late autumn are the second, and cutting can also be carried out in warm winter. When cutting, the lignified branches shall be cut obliquely into the soil, with a depth of about 4-6cm. At the beginning of cutting, they shall be placed in the shade for maintenance, and after rooting, they shall be transferred to the sunny place.

1. Cutting time

The cutting time of Prunus deltoides is from March to June, because the branches grow vigorously and have strong vitality in spring, and the soil humidity and temperature are more suitable for the growth and propagation of plants. In addition, cutting can also be carried out in early summer and late autumn, but it is relatively difficult to be successful than in spring. When the indoor temperature is above 20 ℃ in winter in the north area, cutting can also be carried out, because its suitable growth temperature is 20-25 ℃, the indoor temperature in the north is dry and warm, and it is also easy for plants to survive.

2. Cutting steps

First, select the annual woody branches with vigorous growth and relatively strong strength as the cutting target, so as to grow new roots and improve the survival rate; secondly, trim the cut branches and cut them obliquely into the soil; insert the treated branches into the soil, with a depth of about 4-6cm, and drill holes in the soil, and then pour them into the shade for curing..

3. Precautions

After cutting 20-30 days or so can take root, and then it should be moved to the sun for full photosynthetic response, to ensure at least 8-10 hours of sufficient light every day, in order to make the plant more robust.
