How to propagate Bougainvillea quickly through cutting
A comprehensive introduction to how to propagate Bougainvillea quickly through cutting and some small experiences of plant cultivation related to the care steps of Bougainvillea, let's take a look together!
The most suitable time for Bougainvillea cutting is from March to June, with spring being the best, early summer and late autumn following, and it can also be done in a warm winter. When cutting, select the woody branches and cut obliquely to insert into the soil, about 4-6cm deep, and keep them in a shaded place at the beginning of cutting, then move them to a sunny place after rooting.
1. Cutting Time
The suitable time for cutting Bougainvillea is from March to June, because the branches in spring grow vigorously and have strong vitality, and the humidity and temperature of the soil are more suitable for the growth and propagation of plants. In addition, early summer and late autumn can also be used for cutting, but it is relatively more difficult to succeed compared to spring. In the northern regions, cutting can also be done when the indoor temperature is above 20℃ in winter, because its suitable growth temperature is 20-25℃, and in the dry and warm indoors of the north, it is also easy for the plants to survive.
2. Cutting Steps
First, select vigorous and relatively thick one-year-old woody branches as the target for cutting, which is beneficial for growing new roots and improving survival rate; secondly, trim the cut branches and cut the end that will be inserted into the soil obliquely; insert the treated branches into the soil, about 4-6cm deep, and make holes in the soil, then water thoroughly and move to a shaded place for care.
3. Precautions
About 20-30 days after cutting, the roots can be formed, and then they should be moved to the sunlight for sufficient photosynthesis, ensuring at least 8-10 hours of adequate sunlight every day to make the plants stronger.
