Goldfinch flower, also known as winter jasmine, is named for its golden yellow flowers that are as lively and lovely as goldfinches. Goldfinch flowers not only have high ornamental value but also have good medicinal value. In family gardening, the propagation methods of goldfinch flowers are diverse. Among them, the cutting method is favored for its simple operation and high survival rate. This article will introduce the cutting method of goldfinch in detail to help you easily propagate beautiful goldfinch flowers.

Choose the right cutting time

The cutting time of goldfinch flowers is usually in spring and autumn. The climate of these two seasons is suitable for cutting survival. The best time for spring cutting is generally from March to April, and autumn cutting is from September to October. Goldfinch flowers grow fast and are conducive to root formation.

Prepare cutting materials

1. Cutting substrate: You can choose sand, perlite, vermiculite, etc. as the cutting substrate. These materials have good breathability and drainage, which is beneficial to the growth of cut seedlings.

2. Cutting tools: Prepare a sharp pair of scissors or garden knife for cutting branches; a clean container for holding the cutting substrate; and a spray bottle for spraying water to keep the moisture.

Cut branches

1. Choose healthy branches of goldfinch flowers, about 10-15 cm in length, preferably semi-woody branches.

2. When cutting branches, leave 2-3 leaves, and the rest of the leaves can be trimmed appropriately to reduce water evaporation.

3. The cut ends should be smooth to avoid tearing to prevent the formation of roots.

Handle cut ends

1. Soak the cut ends in a carbendazim solution for disinfection and sterilization to prevent cut seedlings from getting infected with diseases.

2. Let the soaked branches dry and heal naturally at the cut ends.

Cutting operation

1. Dig a small hole in the cutting substrate, insert the processed branch into the hole, and make sure the leaves are above the soil surface.

2. Press the cutting substrate lightly to make the branch and the substrate closely contact.

3. It is best to cut 3-5 branches in each container.

Maintenance management

1. After cutting, spray water with a spray bottle to keep the moisture, keeping the substrate moist.

2. Spray water every 2-3 days to avoid waterlogging.

3. Maintain proper ventilation to prevent the cut seedlings from rotting roots.

4. After 1-2 months, the cut seedlings begin to take root. At this time, you can reduce the amount of watering appropriately and increase sunlight.

The cutting method of goldfinch is simple and easy to perform. As long as you master the key points of cutting time, materials, operation, and maintenance management, you can easily propagate beautiful goldfinch flowers. In family gardening, goldfinch flowers can not only add color to your home but also bring joy. I hope this article is helpful to you.
