Using cut camellia branches to propagate in a flowerpot can grow into a beautiful potted plant.

See the camellia with brilliant and charming flowers, many people want to plant a pot, why not try branch cutting propagation, only need to cut a section of cork branches about 7 centimeters, can carry on cutting propagation.

There are many varieties of camellias with bright colors. They can blossom in autumn and winter.

Before cutting the branches of camellias, you need to prepare some healthy branches and a sharp knife or scissors, which should be wiped with alcohol or soaked in diluted bleach solution before pruning.

To prepare some pot soil with loose air permeability and good drainage, you can choose to mix peat soil with perlite at the proportion of 2:1, and you can appropriately add some river sand or rotten sawdust to maintain good air permeability and drainage of the soil. it also has the appropriate water retention capacity.

If you want to improve the success rate of cutting propagation of camellia branches, you can buy a small packet of rooting powder or rooting solution. You can even soak the branches and promote rooting by soaking them in wicker for one night.

Also prepare some seedling pots, cling film and spray pots for spraying water.

Camellia grows very slowly, and branch cutting is the most common method of propagation. You can choose cutting propagation after spring warmth to avoid pruning before flowering, otherwise it will affect flowering.

Can be pruned about three weeks after the flower, can cut off the top log branches, each branch should be 7cm long, oblique cut at the bottom of the leaves, the bottom leaves should be removed, leaving four leaves at the top is enough.

Remove leaves in order to avoid consuming too much nutrients, too many leaves will consume a lot of water, removing the leaves at the bottom will help to promote rooting, the leaves at the top are relatively large, you can lose about 2 ppm 3 leaves, too large leaves will also affect rooting, you can prepare more branches of camellia to ensure a good rooting rate.

I like to use perlite and peat soil to cultivate the branches of camellias. If the cultivation container is relatively large, you can add some river sand. Several branches can be added to each container, and the branches can be cut into the soil about 3 cm.

After the branches of camellias are planted, they need to be watered to keep the soil moist, and then placed in the right place and kept in a ventilated and transparent position to avoid sunlight.

During the period of spray water around to maintain a high air humidity, in addition, pay attention to the maintenance temperature, it is most appropriate to maintain between 20 and 25 degrees.

Perlite is especially suitable for cutting plants, it is actually a kind of volcanic rock, after high temperature expansion, the volume is several times larger than the original, its weight is very light, has good air permeability and water retention capacity.

After two or three weeks, these cutting camellia branches will slowly take root, and then you can give proper scattered light and slowly increase the light.
