I was lucky enough to get advice from an old master who sells flowers. I made a special trip to the old master's home to look at the flowers and, while I was there, ask about growing plants and flowers. The old master was very kind and taught me the key points of cuttings without holding anything back, and it suddenly became clear to me why almost all my previous cuttings had failed. Now I will share it with friends.

First is choosing the branch. First, the branch must not have new axillary buds, because if a branch with axillary buds is cut off for propagation, the nutrients of that branch have already been used up by the axillary buds, and the survival rate is not high. Second is the length of the branch: within 10 cm is best, do not make it long.

Like this in the picture is the most ideal

Third is still choosing the branch

Keep 1, 2, 3 leaves on the branch; do not keep many leaves, as that will use up the nutrients of the branch.

Look clearly at the very bottom: leave the base of one leaf to make rooting easier.

In addition, before inserting the cutting, soak it for one hour in a rooting agent diluted according to the instructions to increase the survival rate. As for the soil for the cutting, basically peat soil is enough. As for the season and temperature for inserting the cutting, now is fine. As long as it is not autumn or winter, you can insert the cutting.

For branches that have already sprouted, the branch will begin to sprout in about 40 days. If there is anything you do not understand, you can ask.
