The spring cutting time is generally from April to May, and the autumn cutting time is generally from September to October. These two time periods have suitable climates, which are conducive to cutting survival.1. Spring cutting time: As the spring temperature gradually rises and rainfall increases, it is conducive to cutting root formation. The branches of weeping cherry blossoms have already grown a certain amount of new buds, making the cutting survival rate higher.2. Autumn cutting time: The autumn temperature is suitable and rainfall is sufficient, which is conducive to cutting root formation. The branches of weeping cherry blossoms grow slowly, which is conducive to root formation.Weeping cherry blossom cutting methods and techniques1. Select cuttings: Choose healthy, pest-free branches of weeping cherry blossoms as cuttings. The length of the cuttings is generally 10-15 centimeters, retaining 2-3 internodes.2. Cut cuttings: Cut the lower end of the cutting into a diagonal cut and the upper end into a straight cut. The diagonal cut is conducive to insertion into the soil, and the straight cut is conducive to cutting root formation.3. Disinfection treatment: Soak the cut cuttings in a 0.1% potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes for disinfection to prevent infection by germs.4. Soak in root-promoting agent: Soak the disinfected cuttings in a root-promoting agent for 2-3 hours to increase root formation speed.5. Cut: Choose a well-drained sandy loam soil as the cutting substrate and insert the treated cuttings into the soil, with the depth of the cuttings being about 3-5 centimeters.6. Watering and moisturizing: After cutting, immediately water thoroughly to keep the soil moist. As the cuttings take root, gradually reduce the frequency of watering.7. Build a shade shed: During the cutting period, build a shade shed to maintain a light intensity of about 50%, which is conducive to cutting root formation.8. Timely fertilization: Start fertilizing 1 month after cutting, mainly with nitrogen fertilizer, to promote cutting growth.The cutting methods and timing of weeping cherry blossoms are of great significance to home gardening enthusiasts.
