Cutting time and method of Chimonanthus mongolica

Artemisia angustifolia is a rare foliage plant with underground tuber, and it is also a popular indoor large potted plant. In the propagation method of Artemisia angustifolia, cutting is very commonly used. So what kind of cuttage is the money tree? How to cut it? Let's get to know it with the editor.

1. Cutting time

Most of the trees are propagated by cutting, and the success rate of cutting is generally the highest in spring and autumn, because the temperature and humidity are suitable in these two seasons, cutting can not only make the branches begin to sprout, but also prevent the roots from rotting in the soil. When cutting, it is best to choose a sunny afternoon. There is more dew in the morning, which may cause wound decay, high temperature and strong light at noon, and branches may lose water and wilt, so it is best in the afternoon.

2. Branch treatment

The cutting method of the money tree is relatively simple, first of all, it is necessary to remove the twigs from the roots of the plant, the branches only need about 10 centimeters, and the leaves at the base are removed, leaving only a few leaves at the top. When cutting, the wound needs to be cut obliquely, so as to increase the contact area with the soil and make it take root as soon as possible. In order to further improve the rooting rate, the cuttings can also be smeared with rooting powder, which is conducive to improve the probability of rooting and sprouting, but also conducive to the growth of money branches.

3. Matrix preparation

In cutting, substrate preparation is also a critical step, otherwise it will still affect its rooting and sprouting. The substrate can generally be prepared with a mixture of peat soil, pastoral soil, coarse sand and organic fertilizer, which is loose and fertile. Ensure that there is sufficient fertilizer for its growth, but also ensure permeability to avoid retting roots because of stagnant water.

4. Cutting management

After the branches are inserted into the soil, the basin soil needs to be compacted and taught, and it needs to be placed in a warm and sunny environment and wait for about February, so that the branches can take root in the soil, and it is necessary to apply organic fertilizer at the right time. If the temperature is too high or too low, then there is no need to apply fertilizer to avoid overgrowth.
