1、 Does cutting survive

Houttuynia cordata is rarely propagated by sowing, because the germination rate of sowing is not high. Houttuynia cordata can survive by cutting, which is one of its propagation methods. Cutting is easy to operate and has a high survival rate. Cutting can be selected for reproduction at home

2、 Cutting time

The cutting time of Houttuynia cordata can be selected in spring and summer. In these two seasons, the temperature is relatively high and the air humidity is relatively large, which can be conducive to cutting and rooting. Pay attention to avoid strong light during cutting in summer. It is best to cut in a cool place to prevent water loss caused by sunlight exposure. Cutting can also be done in autumn and winter, but the temperature is relatively low, so we should pay attention to keep warm. Cutting can be done indoors to ensure good temperature in order to survive

3、 Cutting method

1. Cutting branches: select the well-growing Houttuynia cordata plant, and cut the strong branches without diseases and insect pests from the top. As the cuttings, it doesn't need to be too long, about 12-15 cm. The leaves at the bottom should be removed, and then put aside for standby

2. Preparation of matrix: the matrix can be sandy soil, which mainly needs ventilation and looseness, so as to provide survival rate

3. Cutting: the selected branches are cut into the matrix, then watered, shaded and waiting for the branches to take root
