How to Propagate Osmanthus Tree Cuttings with High Survival Rate
This article brings you the content of planting green plants and flowers on how to propagate osmanthus tree cuttings with high survival rate and the simplest method of osmanthus reproduction. Next, the editor will introduce it.
Many people say that propagating osmanthus cuttings is difficult, but it's not that hard if you master the method. As long as the cutting method is correct, they can basically survive. Let's talk about the specifics in detail below.
1. Cutting Time
The best period for cutting is from mid-May to mid-July and from mid-September to mid-October. The temperature during these two periods is most suitable for the growth of osmanthus, and the nutrients in the branches are also more abundant compared to other stages.
2. Soil Preparation
The choice of soil for cutting is very important. The soil should be loose and breathable, which will make the drainage better. It's best to choose slightly acidic soil. You can use decomposed leaf soil, sandy soil, and decomposed organic fertilizer mixed in a ratio of 6:2:2.
3. Cutting Selection
Select healthy branches from vigorous mother plants, cut the selected branches into 8-10 centimeters, retain 2 leaves on the top, cut half of the leaves, and cut the top straight and the base obliquely.
4. Cutting Method
Before cutting, dip the lower end of the cutting in rooting powder, insert the cut cutting into the flower soil, and press the surrounding flower soil with your hands. Then water it, cover it with a layer of plastic film, and place it in a semi-shaded place. Next, just wait for it to grow roots.
The above sharing on how to propagate osmanthus tree cuttings with high survival rate and the simplest method of osmanthus reproduction is introduced in hopes of bringing you help. Finally, don't forget to visit more experience and common sense!
