How to get a high survival rate of Begonia cuttings (Begonia cutting time and rooting method)

Begonias are very beautiful flowers, but many people don't know how to propagate them. Therefore, if you want to grow a pot of Begonias indoors, you can only buy them in the market.

Therefore, it is important to learn how to propagate crabapples. Here is some information on how to propagate crabapples so that they can survive.

How to make crabapple flowers survive easily by cuttings

① Cutting time

Cuttings are undoubtedly the simplest method of propagating crabapples, but if you want to do it yourself at home, it is best to do it in the summer .

②Choose cuttings

Because the summer climate is relatively warm, it is also helpful for the crabapple seedlings to take root and sprout. And when cutting, try to choose strong seedlings, the length should not exceed five centimeters, that is, about three or four nodes.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the seedlings must have aerial roots, otherwise it will be difficult to take root and sprout. Therefore, when cutting, use bamboo chopsticks to poke holes in the pot sand. The bamboo chopsticks should be the same thickness as the cuttings.

③Carry out cuttings

Then insert the Begonia cuttings, the depth is about 1/3 of the length of the cuttings, and the spacing between plants and rows is about 3 cm .

Finally, we use our hands to press the base slightly so that the base can be in good contact with the potting sand, and the cutting is considered completed.

Maintenance and management of crabapple after cutting

① Watering

After the crabapple is cut, it is best not to water it first , otherwise it will cause water accumulation in the pot. Therefore, you can water it after five days, and keep watering until water flows out from the bottom of the pot, and then place it in a cool place.

② Lighting

There is no need to water it for the time being. About 10 days after cuttings, when the cuttings grow 3-4 cm roots, you can place the pot in the sun. Watering depends on weather conditions, and it can be potted after a week.

③ Fertilization

Then you can apply fertilizer every month. Of course, the amount of fertilizer should not be too much, otherwise it will easily cause the leaves to turn yellow. Appropriate watering is also necessary.

④ Pruning

So it won't take long for the crabapple to grow luxuriantly. At this time, you can do some proper pruning, mainly to make the crabapple grow more beautiful.

Other propagation methods of Begonia

① Seed propagation

The crabapple blossom period is very long and it is easy to grow.

Therefore, people who want to breed crabapple seedlings in large quantities can choose this method to breed. By setting the temperature at 21 degrees and providing enough water, the crabapple seeds can germinate quickly and grow into strong seedlings.

After the crabapple seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be transplanted into the field. They will grow at a faster rate in a more open environment.

②Propagation by division

You can use only one pot of healthy crabapple to divide it into several pots, but it is best to divide it when changing the soil, so that each plant can be transplanted into a new pot.

Since they are all complete plants, the survival rate is also the highest . We can apply more organic fertilizer appropriately to promote its rapid recovery and accumulate enough nutrients, so that the gorgeous crabapple flowers will bloom when the flowering season arrives.
