How long does it take for chrysanthemum cuttings to take root and sprout?

Chrysanthemum cutting rooting time

Cutting time : It is best to do chrysanthemum cuttings in summer from March to May. It is also possible to do it at other times, but the survival rate will be reduced.

Rooting time after cutting : If the chrysanthemum cuttings are one to two years old, they can take root in half a month. If they are properly maintained, it is no problem for them to take root in a week.

Judging whether the cuttings have taken root: Whether the chrysanthemum has taken root depends on whether its leaves are firm. If they are straight, it means it has taken root or is about to take root.

Chrysanthemum cutting rooting method

1. Cut cuttings : Cut strong and thick side branches from the chrysanthemum plant, about 8-10 cm in length, keep the top buds, and cut off the leaves at the bottom of the branches. The cut cuttings need to be processed. You can prepare a rooting water solution, soak the cut branches in it, and then take them out to dry. 2. Carry out cuttings : Put the prepared soil into the container, then use a small wooden stick to poke a few small holes in the soil, then insert the cuttings with the cut end facing down, and then cover the branches with soil. 3. Maintenance after cutting : Pay attention to maintenance after chrysanthemum cuttings, water in time to keep the soil moist, and place it in a sunny place to promote the branches to take root as soon as possible.

Chrysanthemum cutting management

Disinfection: Before chrysanthemum cuttings, they should be soaked and disinfected in rooting water, which will promote rooting and increase the survival rate.

Sunbathing: Chrysanthemums should not be exposed to the sun right after they are cut. They should be placed in a place with scattered light and wait until they take root before taking them out.

Fertilization: Chrysanthemums do not need to be fertilized after cuttings. When preparing the soil for cuttings, mix a small amount of base fertilizer or add liquid fertilizer to the spraying water. Fertilization can be applied after the chrysanthemums have rooted.

Watering: Water the chrysanthemums thoroughly once after cuttings, and then water them sparingly for three days until the chrysanthemums take root and then maintain them normally.
