1、 Can it be inserted

Osmanthus fragrans can be propagated by cutting, which can be cut alive, but the survival rate is not too high. The method of cutting is simple, but there are strict requirements on the time. It should be carried out before budding in spring, specifically between March and April. At this time, the temperature is appropriate, which will improve the survival rate. If in other seasons, the possibility of survival will be lower

2、 Cutting method

1. Branch treatment: during cutting, annual and well-developed branches should be selected as cuttings. After cutting, they should be cut into small sections of about 5 to 10 cm. Remove the lower leaves and leave only two or three pieces on the top to reduce water consumption to the greatest extent. In addition, it's better to prepare more. The survival rate can't be guaranteed

2. Prepare soil: prepare acidic soil, because osmanthus trees like acidic soil and ensure good drainage. Rotten leaf soil and garden soil can be mixed with an appropriate amount of sand

3. Cutting maintenance: cutting can be carried out after preparing cuttings and soil. Be careful not to cut too deep and leave at least one third of it outside. It is better to control temperature, moisturize and maintain properly after inserting
