Choose the appropriate cutting time

The best time for cutting Osmanthus is generally in spring or autumn when the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the rooting of the cuttings. Spring cutting should be carried out in March to April, and autumn cutting should be done in September to October.

Select healthy cuttings

Selecting healthy cuttings is the key to successful cutting. One should choose vigorous branches free of diseases and pests. The branches are generally 15-20 cm in length and 0.5-1 cm in diameter. When cutting the branches, they should be cut diagonally to facilitate rooting.

Handle the cuttings

Disinfect the cut branches, which can be done by soaking them in 75% alcohol or potassium permanganate solution for 10-15 minutes. After disinfection, soak the branches in a rooting hormone solution for 30 minutes to promote rooting.

Prepare the cutting substrate

The substrate for cutting Osmanthus should be selected with good breathability and strong water retention, such as perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc. After disinfecting the substrate, mix it uniformly in a 1:1 ratio.

Carry out the cutting operation

Insert the processed cuttings into the substrate, about 1/3 of the length of the cutting. Keep a moderate spacing between the branches when cutting to avoid overcrowding.

Manage the plants after cutting

After cutting, water thoroughly to keep the substrate moist. During the cutting period, shade appropriately to avoid direct sunlight. When new leaves grow on the cuttings, gradually increase the light.

Transplanting and care

When the cuttings have rooted, they can be transplanted. During transplantation, protect the roots to avoid damage. After transplantation, continue to water, fertilize, prune, and other management measures to ensure the healthy growth of the plants.

Osmanthus cutting propagation is a simple and feasible method. Mastering the cutting skills can easily cultivate beautiful cassia trees.
