How to Propagate and Cultivate Osmanthus
Let's take a look at the related topics of how to propagate and cultivate osmanthus, as well as the methods and timing of osmanthus propagation.
Osmanthus is generally propagated by cuttings. Cuttings can be performed between May and June, and between September and October. It is best to use fine, breathable soil as the bed. Cut a section of branch from a plant with good growth and no pests, about 8-10 cm long. It is recommended to use the new tender branches from this year. Leave 2-3 leaves at the top of the branch and cut off half of the leaves. Make a diagonal cut at the base and soak for 1 hour. Then insert the treated cuttings into the seedbed, cover them with fine soil, and water them.
1. Cutting Time
Osmanthus cuttings are generally performed between May and June, and between September and October is also possible, but most are done in the former time period. At this time, the temperature is suitable, and the roots will grow faster after cutting, ensuring a higher survival rate.
2. Cutting Method
Keep the temperature around 25°C during cutting. First, prepare the cutting bed. It is best to use fine, breathable soil as the bed. Set up a arch棚 50 cm high above the bed and then add a shade with a light transmission rate of 30% on top.
Second, prepare the cuttings. Cut a section of branch from a plant with good growth and no pests, about 8-10 cm long. It is recommended to use the new tender branches from this year, wrap the base with wet tissue paper after cutting. Remove the leaves, leaving 2-3 leaves at the top and cut half of the leaves. Make a diagonal cut at the base, tie them into a small bundle, and soak in water for 1 hour. Adding some rooting powder or other chemicals to the water will be even better, as it can help the roots adapt to the new environment faster.
Finally, start cutting. Make a hole in the prepared seedbed, put the treated cuttings in, cover them with fine soil, and water them.
