1、 Whether cutting can be carried out

Phyllostachys pubescens can be propagated by cutting. It is best to carry out cutting in April to October in spring or September to October in autumn. It takes root faster at this time. When the temperature is suitable, the survival rate is relatively high, and the temperature of cutting is best maintained at about 15 ~ 25 ℃. The method of cutting propagation is also very simple to operate. Even novices can carry out it easily

2、 Cutting method

1. Select stem node: select a strong stem node from the top of the plant, usually 2-3 stem nodes as a cutting, with a length of about 20cm

2. Pruning: use sterilized scissors to cut off the selected stem nodes. There should be leaflets on each section, the leaves at the bottom can be cut off, and the long air roots on the cuttings should also be cut off. After trimming, place it in a semi shady and ventilated place and dry the incision

3. Cutting: prepare a suitable matrix, which can be prepared with coarse sand, peat soil or rotten leaf soil. Insert the cuttings into half or two-thirds of the depth and take root in about a month
