Camellia cuttings are mostly carried out in spring and autumn, usually in September. Cuttings in summer often rot before taking root due to high temperatures, while growth is slow in winter and the survival rate is even lower.

2. Cutting Method

1 1. Select branches: Cut annual semi-lignified branches of about 10 cm. Keep the top three leaves and remove all the rest. At the same time, cut the branches diagonally to give them a larger contact area with the soil. Dip rooting water into the cutting to help speed up rooting.

2. Pot soil preparation: The pot soil configuration is relatively simple. . Camellia is suitable for growing in acidic soil and requires loose soil. It is suitable to use humus soil, and add a certain amount of sand and a small amount of peat soil, which can not only increase drainage, but also effectively improve the alkalinity of the soil.

3. Cutting maintenance: Use chopsticks to insert a 5 cm long hole in the pot soil, and then insert the branch into it. It is not advisable to water directly after cutting. You can spray water appropriately to keep the soil moist. Place it in a cool place and wait for it to take root and transplant.
