Do you know these? Information about whether osmanthus trees can be propagated by cuttings, and the experience in green plant maintenance regarding the cutting methods and timing of osmanthus tree propagation is as follows:
Osmanthus trees are generally propagated by cuttings. Cuttings can be performed between May and June, or between September and October. It is best to use fine, well-ventilated soil as the bed. Cut a section of a branch from a healthy, pest-free plant, 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 one hour, then insert the treated cutting into the bed, cover it with fine soil, and water it.
1. Cutting Time
Osmanthus cuttings are generally done between May and June, and between September and October is also possible, but most are done in the former time period. The temperature is suitable, and the roots will grow faster after cutting, and the survival rate can be ensured.
2. Cutting Method
Keep the temperature around 25℃ when cutting. First, prepare the cutting bed. It is best to use fine, well-ventilated soil as the bed. Set up a拱棚 (arching shed) 50 cm high above the bed, and it would be better to have a shading shed with a light transmission rate of 30% on top.
Second, prepare the cuttings. Cut a section of a branch from a healthy, pest-free plant, 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, and remove the leaves when you get home. Leave 2-3 leaves at the top and cut off half of the leaves. Make a diagonal cut at the base, bundle them into a small bundle, and soak in water for one hour. If some rooting powder or other chemicals are added to the water, it would be even better, as it can help the roots adapt to the new environment more quickly.
Finally, start cutting. Make a hole in the prepared cutting bed, insert the treated cutting, cover it with fine soil, and water it.
The above information provides a comprehensive introduction to whether osmanthus trees can be propagated by cuttings and the cutting methods and timing. I hope it brings some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
