How to strike cuttings from rhododendrons? |
| (Survey: Multiplying of rhododendrons ) |
| | | If you wish to have identical rhododendrons, you can resort to grafting, striking cuttings, in vitro fertilisation, layering or marcotting rhododendrons. Between July and September, new leaves are sufficiently hardened (the leaves should no longer stick to one another). Do not cut in the sun. Cuttings should be removed at a length of approximately 7 cm. Submerge your cuttings into a growth substance (for example: Rhizopon). Remove the surplus of powder and put the cuttings into a container filled with humid peat. Cover the container with a plastic bag and put it in room of 12 to 15°C. After a few weeks, the temperature can be increased. After 6 to 8 weeks, the cuttings will start to take root. | | |
