How long does it take for Acer truncatum cuttings to take root?

It usually takes about 1 month to take root after cutting, but only if the cutting steps are carried out normally. Select semi-lignified robust branches of about 8 ~ 15cm, insert them into nutrient-rich and porous soil after cleaning and disinfection, then pour enough water after insertion, and do a good job of heat preservation, moisture preservation and ventilation.

1, rooting time

Generally, red maple can take root in about 1 month if it is cut according to normal steps, and the slowest time is 1 month and a half. Preparation should be made before cutting, and proper maintenance should be done after cutting red maple into the soil to help the development of red maple.

2. Preliminary preparation

Red maple cuttings are semi-lignified thick branches with 3-4 leaves on the upper part. Cutting is trimmed to a length of about 8- 15 cm, cleaned and disinfected, dried, obliquely cut into incisions at the bottom, coated with powders such as rooting powder and carbendazim, and cut when the weather is clear in early spring.

3. The soil for planting red maple can be mixed with sandy loam, pond soil, peat soil, vermiculite and other materials. In addition to ensuring high-quality air permeability, porosity and drainage water retention, the soil should be fully disinfected and sterilized at high temperature to ensure that the red maple is clean and free of impurities.

4. Maintenance after insertion

After the red maple was successfully cut into potted soil, it was moved to a cool and ventilated environment and watered thoroughly for the first time, so that the red maple could quickly adapt to the soil matrix. Nourish with mild scattered light and stick a film to keep warm and moist.
