Can Gardenia cuttings survive?

1. Can cuttings survive?

Gardenia cuttings can survive, especially in the south where it is an easy plant to survive. It can be grown hydroponically, which is more convenient and quicker. Cuttings are one of the main propagation methods, because seeds for potted cultivation are difficult to collect, and layering is rarely used.

2. Method of grafting

1. Time: There are two most suitable time periods in a year. You can choose April in the first half of the year, or you can choose August to September. These two time periods are just right for cuttings because the temperature can be maintained at 15-35℃, which is relatively mild, and it will take about 30-40 days for cuttings to take root and sprout.

2. Substrate: The selected substrate must be fertile, loose, and breathable so that the cuttings can survive easily.

3. Cuttings: The selection of branches is very important. You should choose 1-2 year old branches with no surface damage and no insect pests, which are conducive to the survival of cuttings. Before cutting, trim the branches, remove the bottom leaves, and leave 1-2 leaves on top to ensure that the branches are sparse and dense.

4. Cutting: Insert the processed branches directly into the substrate, leaving a part on the ground, and then water them with enough water. After that, water it once in the morning and once in the evening to facilitate rooting.
