The method of cultivating Daphne koreana in water

The suitable time for Daphne odora stem cutting is generally in summer, when the new branches of Daphne odora tend to mature. Select the branches of Daphne koreana grown in the current year, which are about 8-12 cm in length. In order to accelerate its healing and rooting, it is best to use a sharp knife to ring cut about 1-2 mm from the branch point the day before pruning, remove the leaves on the lower half of the branch, and keep 3-4 leaves on the upper part of the branch, and cut off the rest. Then put the processed branches into a wide-mouth bottle, fill the bottle with water about 3/4 deep, and add 2-3 drops of vinegar. The cuttings should be about 1/3 in water and held straight and fixed. Cover the bottle mouth with gauze and tie it tightly. After planting, place the plant on the indoor windowsill and add water as appropriate. After about 5 days, spray the leaves 1-2 times and change the water once a week. It will take about a month for the roots to take shape. Pay attention to transplanting into pots in time.
