How to get a high survival rate of camellia cuttings

Camellia is a widely cultivated and planted flower plant. Generally speaking, camellia is propagated by cuttings. Camellia propagated by cuttings can usually produce seedlings in one year. If properly cared for, it can bloom in the second year. And because the branches required for camellia cuttings are relatively short, you can use only a few branches to propagate several pots of camellia, and you can easily propagate multiple pots.

Camellia cutting time

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to choose the time when camellia is propagated through cuttings at the turn of spring and summer each year. The temperature at this time is more suitable. The camellia after cuttings can easily survive in this warm environment and grow well, which is conducive to it blooming beautiful flowers.

Camellia cutting method

If you want to have a high survival rate for camellia cuttings, you must first ensure that the minimum temperature during cuttings is above 20 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is kept within 30 degrees Celsius. In this way, the survival rate of camellia cuttings will be very high, and in this case the rooting speed of the camellia itself will also be very fast.

Camellia cutting rooting

The fastest way to root camellia cuttings is to choose semi-lignified branches, that is, branches that are relatively hard to break. It is best not to choose tender branches, as such branches are difficult to take root. Then remember to trim the branches to the extent of retaining at least two leaves, then cut an oblique mouth at the bottom of the branch and soak it in water filled with rooting solution for a while.
