What month is the best for cuttings of Euphorbia milii

1. Which month should we take cuttings?

When taking cuttings of Euphorbia milii, you should choose to do it when it is growing more vigorously. Generally, spring and autumn are more suitable. Usually, the best time for cuttings is from April to June in spring, and the survival rate after propagation is very high. If it is carried out in autumn, the survival rate will be lower than that in spring, because the autumn temperature in some areas is relatively low, which is not conducive to rooting.

It should be noted that the temperature has begun to rise in late spring. It is best not to take cuttings at this time, as rot may easily occur. Also, avoid the hot noon.

2. Cutting method

1. Prepare the soil: Prepare a relatively loose substrate in advance, which can be disinfected before use. For home breeding, you can mix river sand and garden soil together, but avoid using highly sticky substrates.

2. Branch selection: Choose a relatively thick branch, preferably with 3-4 leaves and a length of about 10-15cm. Wipe off the liquid on the incision, apply some wood ash, and place it in a semi-shaded place.

3. Potting: After the cut of the branch becomes dry, insert it into the prepared substrate. Finally, water it thoroughly. Wait for two months and the roots will grow.
