Milan cuttings are mostly carried out from April to June, and the plants like warm climates. Select a strong-growing branch, cut a lignified branch, about 10 cm in length, and retain the upper 2-3 leaves. Use vermiculite or coarse sand as the substrate, insert the cuttings into it to a depth of about one-third, and compact it with your hands. After that, water it enough, provide proper shade, and maintain good ventilation.

1. Cutting time

The cutting time in Milan is usually from April to June. Because it grows in the south, it prefers a warm environment. Slightly higher temperatures are more conducive to rooting of cuttings. Usually when the ground temperature reaches 30-32℃, it takes 40 days to take root. If the ground temperature is only 25-28℃, it will take 50-60 days for roots to take root. The lower the temperature, the slower the rooting process.

2. Cutting processing

Cutting In Milan, you must choose a plant that is growing well and free of diseases and insect pests. Cut an annual lignified branch from it. The leaves at the top of the branch should be thick and green in color, and the axillary buds should be full. Cut it into 10 cm pieces, keep the upper 2-3 leaves, cut off the rest, and flatten the bottom incision.

3. Pot soil preparation

For cuttings to take root, a loose and breathable substrate must be provided. Usually vermiculite or coarse sand can be used. Do not use soil that is too fertile, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of new roots. The substrate can be exposed to the sun before use to eliminate bacteria and insect eggs inside. It should be noted that this plant cannot be rooted in hydroponics, and the cycle required is too long.

4. Carry out cuttings

Preparation After you have prepared the potting soil and cuttings, you can take the cuttings. First, use bamboo chopsticks to make a hole in the soil of the pot, with a depth of one-third of the branch. Then insert the cutting into the hole and compact the surrounding soil to make the bottom and soil fit better. After the cuttings are completed, water them enough and provide adequate shade and good ventilation.
