When is the best cuttage of Yushu?

Yushu generally grows most vigorously in spring and autumn, grows slowly when the temperature is low in winter, and enters a dormant period when the temperature is high in summer, so it is generally chosen to cut in spring or autumn, and try to cut in sunny weather, so the survival rate is high.

Yushu cutting method

1, old leaf cutting method: select thick old leaves, cut them from the top of Yushu branches, cut them into fine and moist sand, generally insert the leaf base into the soil depth of 1/4- 1/3, then cover them with transparent film, put them in a cool environment for about 25-30 days, and then start to take root and sprout.

2. When cutting Yushu, the planting soil should be kept moist for a long time, the temperature should be controlled at about 25-30℃ and properly ventilated, so that the rooting speed is fast, but if the temperature is very low, it is difficult to take root and sprout, affecting the survival rate.

Matters needing attention in Yushu cutting

It is best not to cut Yushu in winter, because this time is its dormant period, and the survival rate after cutting is not good. If you want Yushu to take root quickly, you can also apply honey. Applying honey directly to the place where the cuttings want to take root can promote the cuttings to take root quickly.

Maintenance and management of Yushu after cutting

1. After cutting Yushu, the soil should be kept moist for a long time, but it should not accumulate water to avoid root rot, and it should not be placed in a cool and direct sunlight place to avoid water evaporation and death due to lack of water and dryness.

2. It usually takes about three weeks for Yushu cuttings to take root, but this is not completely fixed. The specific rooting time depends on the cutting method and maintenance management.
