Cut a strong branch of wintersweet, about 20 cm in length, then trim the lower leaves, soak it in rooting water and wrap it with a wet cloth, turn it over to a dark place to promote rooting, take it out after a week, insert it into a water bottle, and place it in a ventilated place.

Rooting method of wintersweet cuttings

The newly grafted wintersweets should be left alone for care and watered in small amounts. One week after the grafting of the wintersweets, try to lift and pull the branches. If you feel a firm grip, it means that roots have taken root and you can water them normally.
