The climate in these two seasons is suitable, which is conducive to the rooting and growth of the cuttage seedlings. Spring cuttage should be carried out from March to May, and autumn cuttage should be carried out from September to November. Preparing cuttage materials 1. Cutting seedlings: Select strong and disease-free branches of large-leaf Jasmine as cuttage seedlings. Generally, semi-lignified branches are selected with a length of about 10-15 cm.
2. Cutting substrate: Perlite, vermiculite, river sand, etc. can be selected as cutting substrates, which require good air permeability and drainage.
3. Medications: Rooting powder or rooting solution can be used to improve the rooting rate of cuttage seedlings. Carry out cuttage operation 1. Cut the bottom of the cuttage seedlings into a slope with a length of about 2-3 centimeters to increase the contact area with the substrate.
2. Insert the processed cuttage seedlings into the prepared cuttage substrate to a depth of about 3-5 cm.
3. Use a spray can to gently spray water to make the cuttage seedlings fully contact the substrate to avoid loosening. Management after cuttage 1. Maintain humidity: Keep the substrate moist after cuttage, and spray can be used to avoid direct watering causing rot of cuttage seedlings.
2. Appropriate shade: In the early stage of cuttage, appropriate shade should be covered to avoid direct strong light, which is conducive to the rooting of cuttage seedlings.
3. Observe growth: Regularly observe the growth of cuttage seedlings, and treat pests and diseases found in a timely manner.
4. Transplanting: When the cuttage seedlings take root, the light can be gradually increased, and when the seedlings are about 10 cm high, transplant.
