Cutting matrix

Before the selection of cuttings, the cutting matrix should be paved first, so that the cuttings will not lose too much nutrients due to the delay of laying the cutting matrix

The cutting matrix of Sakura purpurea can be made of vermiculite powder, perlite and peat soil in the ratio of 2:1:1. It should be noted that the three are not directly mixed, but the peat soil is paved first, and the other two are evenly mixed in proportion and then paved on the peat soil

In addition, the requirement of cutting matrix is loose and breathable, which is suitable for plant growth

Cuttings

The branches used for cutting are between 10 and 12 cm branches cut from the strong mother branches of purple leaf dwarf cherry, and there are four or five bud nodes on each branch

Preservation of cuttings

After cutting the cuttings, they should be kept in a cool and humid place, or wrapped with wet things, so as to avoid the loss of water as much as possible, so as to improve the survival rate

Processing of cuttings

Cut a 45 ° oblique incision close to the bud back at the upper end of the cuttings, which is 2 cm away from the bud node, and then soak the cuttings with naphthylacetic acid solution or rooting powder solution for a period of time, preferably 30 to 60 minutes

Cutting

The cutting depth shall be greater than one-third and less than one-half of the cutting length, and the spacing is generally between 2.5cm and 3.5cm. After cutting, the cutting matrix shall be watered through
