When cutting in summer, you should choose strong and insect-free branches. They should have about 3-7 nodes and do not need to be too long. Before cutting, disinfect with carbendazim, and the branches must be dried and in a healing state. Prepare suitable soil, preferably sterilized first. Finally, cut the branches close to the substrate and water them. You can put a plastic bag on them to reduce excessive evaporation of water.

1. Cuttings

If cuttings are taken in summer, the branches used must be strong enough and free from insect pests. It is best to use full, stiff leaves. Branches that are too dry will take root more slowly. Cuttings with 3-7 nodes are sufficient, and there is no need to use branches that are too long.

2. Simple processing

Before cutting, simple treatment is required. If possible, it is best to use carbendazim for disinfection, or you can place it directly in a ventilated place to dry. The reason is that the cut of the branch does not have too much moisture and is in a dry and healing state, so that it will take root faster than usual.

3. Prepare the substrate

Selecting the substrate is also extremely important. If the soil used is too heavy or contains pathogens, it will affect the rooting of the cuttings. Try to use soil with better air permeability and disinfect it before use to avoid bacterial infection.

4. Carry out cuttings

The last step is very simple. You only need to insert the branches into the substrate. After cutting, press it firmly with fine soil and water it thoroughly. We all know that summer is relatively hot. In order to prevent the water from evaporating too quickly, you can put a plastic bag on it, so that it can have good moisture retention.
