Margarite cutting rooting time

Margarite is a plant that is particularly easy to survive by cuttings. It is recommended to do cuttings in spring and summer every year. First, cut off all the lower leaves, and then put the branches in a flowerpot filled with pure vermiculite. After pressing gently, water it. The cuttings will take root in about 20 days.

Margarite cutting rooting method

The most common way to propagate marigolds is by branch cuttings. First, pick a complete branch from a healthy plant. The length of the branch should be controlled within 3-5 cm and should be placed in a cool and ventilated place.

Wait for the wound to dry before starting cuttings. When doing so, insert the branches diagonally directly into the soil, and then place it in a well-lit place, and it will soon take root.

Margarite cutting method

1. Soil selection

   When propagating Marigolds by cuttings, you should first choose a flowerpot of suitable size, fill the flowerpot with pure vermiculite, insert the branches into the Marigolds, and then water them.

However, you must pay attention to watering thoroughly. The vermiculite will be firmly connected after absorbing water. If you water it first, the branches may not be inserted into the soil. After the cuttings are completed, the flower pots should be placed in a well-ventilated place.

2. Cutting conditions

When taking Margaret cuttings, generally choose tender green branches about 10 cm in length, cut off all the lower leaves of the selected branches, and only keep the upper leaves. This can reduce water evaporation and is more conducive to the growth of Margaret.
