How long does it take for petunia cuttings to take root? How can cuttings make them survive quickly?

Rooting time of petunia cuttings

Petunia cuttings are relatively easy to survive, and can generally be carried out in spring and autumn. At this time, the survival rate of petunia cuttings is higher and the temperature is relatively more suitable, so the cuttings can be carried out better. When cutting petunias, pay attention to the correct method and proper maintenance. Generally, roots will take shape in 14-20 days.

Petunia cutting rooting method

There are no requirements for petunia cuttings. For soil selection, you can prepare some river sand soil, which has strong moisture-retaining and water-locking properties, allowing petunia to take root quickly. Then, pairing it with fertile humus soil can promote the growth of seedlings. Note that the soil should be mixed evenly, and then placed outdoors in the sun for 2 days for sterilization, so that the petunia can take root better.

Petunia cutting method

1. Branch selection

Before petunia cuttings, pruning is required. It is recommended to choose a strong mother plant as the object of pruning. It should not be dry and weak, and branches infected with pests and diseases should not be used. The length of each branch should be about 5 cm. The bottom of the branch should be cut into an inclined incision, and the incision must be flat.

2. Temperature

After the petunia is cut, place it in a semi-shaded place and spray water frequently to keep the soil moist. At the same time, during the cutting process, keep the temperature at 18℃-20℃ for the best survival.
