The fastest method for rooting camellia cuttings
This article provides a detailed introduction to the fastest method for rooting camellia cuttings and simple tips for growing camellias in the field of green plants and flowers. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Camellia quick "cutting method", one twig can be inserted into multiple pots, and that's how it comes
Many people keep camellias, and the camellia seedlings we buy are relatively large. In fact, camellias can also be propagated at home. The small seedlings grown for a year can bloom in the second year. They are mainly propagated through cuttings. Today, I will tell you how to propagate camellias through cuttings.
In fact, it is very simple to propagate camellias through cuttings. The first step is to select the twig. The twig should be as semi-woody and hard as possible. It is best not to choose the tender branches that have just grown, as they are difficult to root. We trim the camellia twig to retain at least a pair of leaves, that is, two leaves, and retain a stem of 1~2 centimeters at the bottom of these two leaves, and only need to retain the top part at the top. Make a slanted cut at the bottom of the twig, and if there is rooting hormone, soak the bottom of the twig in the rooting hormone solution for 10~20 minutes, and then we proceed to select the soil.
The fastest method for rooting camellia cuttings is to use vermiculite. Find some vermiculite, get a disposable transparent cup, make several holes at the bottom, fill the cup with vermiculite, and then find a large tray. Add water to the tray, insert the twig into the vermiculite about two centimeters, making sure the leaves are on the surface of the vermiculite and not submerged. Then place the cup in the tray and let the water automatically absorb upwards. After the cup is fully hydrated, ensure the tray always has water. Place the tray with the cuttings in a place with indirect sunlight, preferably with scattered light to ensure the bottom tray does not run out of water. In the first week, it is best to spray the leaves with a spray bottle every day. In this way, after no more than a month, we will notice that it slowly starts to grow roots. In about one and a half months, the roots will grow to the outer wall of the disposable transparent cup, and we can clearly see that a lot of roots have grown. We can then wash off the vermiculite and plant it in a new pot for normal care.
Since the branches needed for propagating camellias are relatively short, one twig can be used to propagate several pots, making it easy to propagate multiple pots. However, it is important to remember that the minimum temperature for propagating camellias should be above 20 degrees and the maximum temperature should not exceed 30 degrees. Under these conditions, the survival rate of cuttings will be very high, and the rooting speed will be very fast.
