Cutting time of weeping begonia

1. Cutting time

The time for cuttings of weeping crabapple is in spring and summer. In spring, it is usually done during the Waking of Insects, while in summer, it has to wait until the beginning of the dog days. Relatively speaking, more people do cuttings in spring, but they need to change the pots after the summer solstice.

2. Cutting method

1. Spring cuttings: If you choose to do cuttings in spring, you need to cut a branch about 12-16cm in length from the mother plant of the weeping crabapple. Prepare the planting bed and make sure the soil is sterile. Afterwards, insert the cut branches into the soil. The depth of the cuttings should not exceed half the depth of the branches. Press the surrounding soil firmly and water it.

2. Summer cuttings: Do not use woody branches for summer cuttings. Cut branches with leaves from the middle of the mother plant and insert them into the soil in the same way as spring cuttings. They will take root in about a month.

3. Notes

If you want the branches to take root as soon as possible, you can soak them in rooting water before cuttings, so that their roots will grow faster than usual.
