Cutting propagation time

It can be carried out all year round, but it is best in spring and autumn, and the survival rate of cutting in summer is relatively low

Cuttage Propagation and cuttage selection

When cutting cuttings, the inflorescence of wuse plum should be cut first, and the healthy and short internode branches should be selected. The rooting speed of top bud and twig cuttings is much faster than that of semi hardwood cuttings. If moisture protection is not done in time, the branches are easy to dehydrate

Standard cuttings include terminal bud cuttings and twig cuttings. When selecting terminal bud cuttings, branches with terminal buds, 3 nodes and a length of 5-9 cm should be selected. The first pair of leaves growing below the branches can be cut off, or some leaves can be cut off to reduce water evaporation

When selecting twig cuttings, the leaves can be retained as much as possible and properly trimmed. Seedlings can be raised in seedling pots

Cutting propagation method

Prepare the cutting container and soil, water the soil thoroughly with water, put the treated cuttings into the soil, and pay attention to the moisture retention of the soil

The rooting of cuttings takes 14-21 days. After rooting, it can be moved to a round pot with a diameter of 7.5 cm for seedling cultivation. After the head of the root comes out, it can be colonized into a flowerpot with a diameter of 12.5 cm or 20 cm. After the plant grows up, after several times of coring and pruning, it can become a spherical five-color plum and improve its ornamental value
