1、 Cutting time

Camellia cutting is generally selected in autumn, mostly in September, when the survival rate is relatively high. In addition, it can also be cut in spring. However, due to the high temperature and humidity in summer, the bottom is easy to rot after cutting, so it is difficult to take root. In winter, because the temperature is low, the cuttings will be frostbitten. We must keep warm, otherwise it is difficult to survive

2、 Cuttings treatment

The cuttings of Camellia generally use semi lignified branches. For some valuable varieties, leaves can also be used as cuttings. The cuttings of branch cuttings need to remove the leaves at the base, only keep the upper three pieces, cut the bottom into oblique mouths, and immerse in indole butyric acid to promote rooting. The cuttings of leaf cuttings are mostly annual leaves, which should not be too old or too tender, otherwise it is not easy to take root

3、 Basin soil preparation

The soil used for cutting Camellia must be prepared. In order to ensure the growth of new roots, generally do not use a fertile substrate. Generally, sand or vermiculite can be used. Before cutting, the soil should be dried in the sunny place. If it is leaf cuttings, mountain mud can be used as the matrix and an appropriate amount of river sand can be added to improve the drainage and air permeability of the

4、 Cutting maintenance

After the cuttings and soil are ready, cutting can be carried out. Insert the cuttings into the matrix and pour an appropriate amount of water. Generally, they will take root in 60 days. If it is leaf cutting, the depth of inserting into the soil is about 2 cm. After cutting, compress the soil and pour enough water, put it in a cool place and maintain good ventilation. It will take 3 months to take root and germinate in the next spring

5、 Flowering in a few years

Camellia generally takes two to three years from cutting to flowering, but if a suitable environment is provided and attention is paid to maintenance, it can bloom early. However, since the plant has not yet grown, the flowers are relatively small and small
