Cypress cutting time can be selected in spring and autumn. Select strong and healthy branches from plants in good growth condition, about 10-15 cm in length, and remove the lower leaves. The substrate can be clean plain sand or vermiculite. Spray water to moisturize before cutting. Insert the branches diagonally into the substrate and keep it at 20-30 degrees Celsius. Pay attention to maintenance after cutting and provide appropriate shade.

1. Cutting time

Cypress trees can survive by cutting. The cutting time can be chosen in spring and autumn, but the branches used are different. Germination is strong in early spring, and old branches from last year can be used. Starting cuttings in the autumn is also beneficial to survival, and you can use the young branches of the current year.

2. Select cuttings

Select strong and healthy branches from plants in good growth condition, and cut 10-15 cm in length from the strongest part. At least 3 nodes should be retained on each branch to promote later growth. Remove the leaves from the lower part of the branch to prevent them from being inserted into the soil and causing rot. Use a sharp knife to cut the lower end into a bevel to ensure a smooth cut.

3. Prepare the substrate

Use The substrate used for cutting is mainly to ensure breathability, so that water will not accumulate and is more conducive to plant rooting. You can use clean plain sand or vermiculite, and spray water to moisturize before cutting.

4. Make cuttings

Insert the branches diagonally into the substrate, adjust the surrounding temperature, and keep it at 20-30 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect rooting. If the temperature is too low, rooting will be difficult. If the temperature is too high, it will be susceptible to bacterial infection. After cutting, pay attention to maintenance and appropriate shade.
