How to cut the latest camellias

The flowers of camellias are large and gorgeous, with high ornamental value. There are many people who breed camellias in daily life, and they are widely used in gardens. When cultivating camellias, they can be propagated by cutting, which is convenient and fast, and the survival rate is high. So how to do it? Let's take a look at the teapot cuttage propagation details.

1. Cutting time

Camellia can be cut all year round, but the most suitable time for cutting is in spring and autumn, and the best autumn in spring and autumn, that is, from August to September. This is because the sprouting and sprouting of the teapot in spring will consume a lot of nutrients of the plant, and the nutrition of the cuttings is insufficient, which is not conducive to rooting, while in autumn, the branches have grown semi-lignified, nutritious and easy to root. So if you want to plant camellias, you'd better choose autumn if you want to propagate cuttings.

2. Select cuttings

Choose the semi-lignified branches that grow on the robust and disease-free mother plant for more than one year, and the branches should be more sturdy in the first place, which is beneficial to the rooting of the branches and the sprouting growth is relatively fast. If the selected branches are relatively weak, it is not only difficult to take root, but also may grow weakly during growth. In addition, the cuttings should have 2-3 full-growing bud holes, which will quickly grow new branches and leaves and form new plants after the cuttings survive.

3. Use rooting powder

If the cuttings of camellias are cut directly, the survival rate may be relatively low, so rooting powder is generally used in cutting, which can significantly improve the survival rate of cuttings. When the bottom of the cuttings was soaked in rooting powder solution for 2-3 hours, the rooting rate was higher when cutting. In addition, the survival rate of cuttings also has a certain relationship with the soil, it is necessary to choose loose and breathable soil, not suitable to eat humus soil, so as not to cause new root burns.

4. Cuttage

The cuttings should be cut along with the cuttings, and they should not be too deep, generally 3-5 cm into the soil, so that in the loose and breathable soil, the oxygen content is high and it will take root in a short time. But if inserted too deep, oxygen content, the wound is not suitable to heal, but also lead to cuttings rot or infection of bacteria and death. Because the insertion is too shallow, it is necessary to press the soil with your hand after cutting so that it is closely connected with the cuttings in order to avoid lodging and shaking.
