It usually takes two months for plum blossoms to take root after cuttings. The cutting time is mostly chosen in winter, which has a higher survival rate. Cut off 1-2 year old hard branches with a length of 10-15 cm. Use humus soil and perlite as the matrix, and insert the hard branches into it, usually a little deeper, so that in addition to being fixed, it can also have a warming effect. After cutting, water it thoroughly and cover it with plastic film to keep it warm and moisturized.

1. How long does it take for cuttings to take root?

Plum blossoms are usually cut from November to January. Since the temperature is not high at this time, the rooting speed is not fast. It usually takes two months. But compared to cuttings in other seasons, winter cuttings have the highest survival rate.

2. Cutting Method

1 , Cutting time: The time for plum blossom cuttings is mostly in winter. Unlike many plants, its survival rate for cuttings is the lowest in spring, but its survival rate in winter is very high, generally reaching about 90%. Compared to a high-temperature environment, it prefers a climate with soft light and moderate humidity, which is very helpful for rooting.

2. Cutting processing: 1 should be used for cuttings of plum blossoms. -For 2-year-old branches, hard branches must be used. Cutting young branches has high environmental requirements and is generally not easy to succeed. Select a healthy mother tree and cut a branch 10-15 cm long.

3. Prepare the substrate: If you want to ensure the survival of the cuttings, the quality of the substrate plays a key role. Generally, the soil should be sandy loam, which is loose, fertile and has good air permeability, which can reduce the risk of bacterial growth. If you prepare it yourself, you need to use humus soil as the main material and add an appropriate amount of perlite to ensure its drainage capacity.
