Cutting method

Select soil

We generally choose plain sandy soil for cutting elderberry. The plain sandy soil should be disinfected before cutting

Select cuttings

When selecting cuttings, pay attention to cutting a branch from a well-growing and strong plant without being damaged by diseases and pests. Cut a piece of paper into cuttings about 20cm long in each section to ensure that there are three or more buds on each section of cuttings. Bind these cuttings every ten and soak them in clean water. The purpose of this is to improve the survival rate of cuttings

Maintain spacing

When cutting, pay attention to the row spacing of cutting, which is about 15cm. At the same time, pay attention to the distance between each cuttings is about 10cm. If it is too dense, it is not conducive to the absorption of water, oxygen and light, resulting in slow growth

Cutting time

When cutting, you should choose the appropriate month. It is best to cut in the middle and late March. At this time, the climate is not too hot, which is conducive to ensuring that there will be no excessive loss of water in the cutting process

Specific operation

Bundle every ten selected cuttings together and soak them in clean water. Then, when planting the cutting bed, leave a space of 10cm between plants, and ensure a spacing of 15cm. After cutting, it shall be watered and shaded

Precautions

Watering

After cutting is completed, water should be poured immediately. If possible, a shed can be built to maintain the humidity of the surrounding environment. And maintain the habit of watering once a week

Illumination

Just after cutting, do not carry out direct sunlight. If conditions permit, you can build a shading net to shade, pay attention to sunscreen, and transplant when the weather is cool in late autumn
