Cutting propagation of basil

Breeding Essentials

Basil can be cut, and the main work of cutting is to select hybrid, cutting and maintenance

In the selection of cutting hybrides, it is not suitable for basil to choose flowering plants, so cutting needs to be carried out before flowering. Cut 5 to 10cm long branches and trim them, leaving only two leaves. Insert the cymbidium into the prepared medium, water it and wait for it to take root. It can also be directly inserted into the water, which is simple to operate, clean and beautiful
