Can Milan take root in water?

1. Can it take root?

Milan cannot take root by soaking in water. It may grow roots in nutrient water, but the possibility is relatively small. It is best not to propagate it by this method. Generally, soaking in water will only cause rot, leading to problems with the entire branch, so it is safest to propagate it by cuttings in the soil. As long as you ensure suitable surroundings and operate correctly, it is easy for cuttings to take root.

2. Cutting method

1. Time: As long as the temperature can be guaranteed, there are not too many requirements for the season, but it is best to choose spring from May to June, and the rest of the time can be done indoors.

2. Branches: Cut healthy branches from the plant. One- to two-year-old branches are best. These branches are chosen because they have better nutrition and are more likely to germinate and take root. Keep the length at 10-15 cm, cut a slit at the lower end, and discard the leaves at the upper end.

3. Substrate: The container and soil for cuttings must be well prepared and disinfected first. Sandy soil is most suitable.

4. Cuttings: Soak the branches in rooting water, then insert them into the soil, keep the substrate moist, and place them in a diffuse light environment to promote rooting.
