Hydrangea cutting

I. selection and treatment of branches

Choose branches without flowers and buds, about 20 centimeters. Remove the leaves below and cut diagonally about an inch below the node, leaving only one node, and the top of the node should be cut flat. In addition, the tools for cutting branches must be sharp and the incisions should be straightforward to avoid incision infection. After cutting, it is best to put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

2. Treated leaves

If there are too many leaves, transpiration will make the plant itself lose too much water; there are too few leaves, and the plant can not take root through photosynthesis. So we need to cut off half of each leaf.

Third, the requirements of cutting substrate

In general, the substrate of cutting is peat plus vermiculite. However, potted hydrangea general flower soil can be planted, as long as good drainage, watering before cutting is good. It should be noted that there is no contact between leaves and leaves, so as to avoid infection of decaying leaves.

4. Cutting

Insert the prepared branches into the matrix, compact them with your hands, water and plant them again, put them in a cool and ventilated place, and often spray water to moisturize the leaves. Wait patiently, but don't pull it out and have a look at it. Basically, it will take root in half a month. Families with rooting powder can sprinkle some rooting powder appropriately to help hydrangea take root quickly.

Wait for the growth of 3-4 leaves, can be pulled out on the basin, on the basin after pouring water, put in a cool place for two days, you can put in a place with plenty of light for normal maintenance.

Although it looks very tedious, the editor believes that as long as you take good care of the hydrangea cuttings, and finally raise the hydrangea that everyone envies. But with so many colors of hydrangea, can we make sure that the hydrangea is our favorite color?
