How can I make a living when the branches are cut off from the trees?

The propagation method of cutting the vegetative organs (roots, stems and leaves) of plants to form independent plants is called cutting. Plants cultivated by this method grow faster than sowing seedlings, and can be cultivated into large seedlings in a short time, especially some plants that are not easy to bloom, and flowering plants can bloom early; However, cutting seedlings have no main roots, and the root system is weaker than sowing seedlings.

For you, this situation is called stem cutting (there are many lateral buds on the stem of a plant, and these buds can grow new branches. Take 2~3 stems as cuttings, most herbs and woody plants can be used. )

1. Make sure there are buds on the branches you cut. Take camellia as an example, the best cutting time is autumn.

Selection of cuttings: select branches that are robust in that year, that is, branches that germinate after flowering in spring and mature in autumn.

Cutting standard:

Select annual lignified branches 15 ~ 20cm with 3 ~ 5 nodes. If there are swollen buds on the branches, remove the leaves at the lower part of the branches.

Cutting the substrate:

Cutting substrate must be well drained, and 80% perlite and 20% coarse sand can be used.

Management after cutting:

Cover the flowerpot with a transparent plastic bag, fix it, poke a small hole in the plastic film and pour water to keep it moist. Put the cut flowerpot in a place where light is scattered to keep the soil moist.

In about a month or two, it will take root and sprout.
