How to cut camellia with high survival rate (cutting method and time of camellia)

The propagation methods of camellia are cutting and grafting, and cutting is one of the most commonly used methods. Camellia can quickly breed many seedlings by cutting, and the cutting method of Camellia is relatively simple, and it can be easily cut by choosing suitable soil and branches. Let's be specific.

1. Soil selection

Camellia cutting needs to choose acidic soil with good porosity, water retention and air permeability, that is, common yellow soil with sand. If there is no yellow soil, perlite can be used instead, no matter which soil particle size is suitable. Spread broken bricks about 3 cm thick on the bottom of the flowerpot, then spread a layer of coarse sand, then spread cut soil and gently smooth the surface. The filling only needs to occupy half the height of the flowerpot.

2. Cutting time

The cutting season of camellia is best in summer, that is, June. During this period, the survival rate of cutting is relatively high.

3. Cutting selection

Cut off the semi-lignified new branches and select 2-3 branches with a length of about 5-8 cm as cuttings. Generally speaking, the twigs can be kept longer, and the thick branches can be shorter, but not too short. Branches that are too short will germinate slowly.

4. Cutting process

When cutting, first find a stick or wire with the same size and thickness as the cutting branch. Insert a hole with other materials before cutting, and then cut off the camellia branches. This can prevent camellia branches from being scratched by sand. After all the branches are cut, you can water them to make the sand and branches closely combine.

Moisturizing and shading

You can put a plastic container or plastic bag on the flowerpot, which can properly shade and moisturize and can be taken away in rainy days. Keep the soil moist after cutting camellia, and water it in time when you see the soil dry.
