1、 Cutting time

The Prunus mume can be cutted in the whole growth period, but it is best to choose from May to June. At this time, the survival rate is very high, and it is necessary to avoid summer and winter

2、 Cut branches

Select the plant with good growth condition and cut the mature branches from above. The length of a section is about 6-10cm, and the branches above the top are the best. After cutting off the branches, some white juice will flow out of the wound. Be careful not to cut immediately, and do not flow the juice to your hands. Note that 3-4 leaf nodes should be reserved on the stem segment, which can ensure the probability of survival

3、 Preparation of sand bed

It's best to keep the sand bed breathable. You can use pure sand or clean vermiculite or perlite. In this way, you won't accumulate water. You should put it in the sun in advance, so as to achieve the effect of disinfection

4、 Cutting

When the cut branches are slightly dry, they can be cut. Dip the branches with rooting agent into the sand bed and spray water appropriately to promote rooting. If the surrounding climate is mild, they can take root after about 30 days. When the root system grows stably, the plant can be moved elsewhere for maintenance
