Can wisteria be inserted alive?

Cutting of Lagerstroemia speciosa is usually carried out in the middle and late March to early April before the branches germinate. Select stout annual branches, cut them into cuttings with a length of 15cm, and insert them into a loose and well-drained sandy loam seedbed. The cutting depth shall be subject to exposing the top buds of the cuttings. After insertion, it is filled with water and covered with plastic film to keep moisture and heat. When the seedlings grow to 15~20cm, the film can be uncovered, replaced with sunshade nets and watered in time, and the branches can grow to about 60-80 cm in that year.

Softwood cutting is carried out in July and August, when the new branches grow vigorously and have the most vitality. Select semi-lignified branches and cut them into cuttings with a length of 8 ~ 10 cm, leaving 2~3 leaves at the top. The cutting depth is 3 ~ 4cm. After inserting, water and irrigate, build a shade shed to shade, and it will take root in about 20 days, uncover the film, leave a shade net and water it in time. Branches can grow to about 60~80cm in that year, and the survival rate is very good.
