1、 How to cut

1. Choose branches: when cutting, choose strong branches with a length of about 8 to 10 cm. Cut off the lower leaves and keep only the upper ones. This can reduce water consumption and is beneficial to rooting. If possible, it is best to soak in the rooting water for one day and take it out after one day, which can accelerate the rooting speed

2. Preparation medium: the matrix of cutting should be prepared in advance, and loose and breathable should be used. Your own preparation must be disinfected first. It can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, garden soil and sandy soil

3. Cutting: cutting can be carried out after preparing the soil. When inserting, pay attention to the depth of the soil, not too deep, about half or one-third of the insert

4. Curing after cutting: shade the cuttings after cutting. Don't worry about letting the cuttings bask in the sun. And spray water frequently to moisturize. Attention should also be paid to the temperature. Too high or too low will not work, which will affect rooting. Place it in a well ventilated environment, so it can take root for more than a month

2、 Can you cut in winter

Daphne odora can be cut in spring, autumn or summer, but not in winter. Because it is not cold resistant, the temperature in winter is too low, and the sprouting power of branches is also low. At this time, cutting will be difficult to take root and survive. The best cutting time is in May and June in spring, with fast rooting speed and high survival rate
