How to make cuttings
Main when choosing an escape for cutting - is the degree of maturity of its wood. The branch should be neither dairy nor fully lignified. To determine the suitability of the material for harvesting cuttings can be in appearance:
- reddish peel and leaves - a sign of too young to escape;
- tough, woody structure and brownish skin is - a sign of old, lignified branches.
These parts of the bush for grafting unsuitable.
The optimal choice - escape 0.5-0.7 cm thick, which has been formed and lightly colored bud. The color of the skin such branches - green, the leaves are fully disclosed and have a glossy finish. In some cases, grafting can take branches already open or just crumbled flowers.
Proper preparation of the cutting involves several steps:
- Splitting. Selected branch should be cut with a sharp knife or shears. It is divided into sections with 2-3 buds on each. The lower section is carried out at an angle of 45 °, 1-2 mm below the kidney (bottom sheet). The top should be straight, at 1 cm above the kidney. 1 of escape can get some good cuttings, but the upper part of 10-15 cm from the bud is better not to use: it may be immature.
- Trim foliage. It is necessary to completely remove (along with the stem) of the sheet near the lower buds. 1-2 the upper sheet is cut with scissors so as to leave only a part of a complex organ: 1-2 plates. If they are large, cut ½ each. Remove the foliage is completely impossible: at the cutting stops photosynthesis. If the cuttings are many, at the time of cutting and trimming throw them in a bowl of cold water, so as not to zavetrivalis sections.
- Treatment. Prepare Kornevina solution IAA or other growth stimulant according to the instructions. Lower liquid in the lower ends of the prepared seed and left for 12-15 hours (or instructions unless otherwise advised).
After preparation of the cuttings can be planted.

Top pour wet river sand with an average grain or a mixture of vermiculite and sand, peat, sand and so on. (1:1). It is important to get loose enough water capacity and weight. Its layer is about 3-4 cm.
The cuttings are planted in the containers onto the tilt angle of 45 °. Deepen the foundation needed to 1.5-2 cm.
After planting the cuttings placed in a mini-greenhouse in the package or cover every individual banks or cut off pieces of plastic bottles. Under the shelter of the cuttings will be permanent, as long as they do not appear signs of growth, new leaves left over from the kidney surface.
During the rooting of the soil in the pots must be maintained in a wet state, and the capacity to close out of direct sunlight.
Hibernate young plants could only in the cellar or cool the balcony, at a temperature just above 0 ° C. In winter, they need to be watered periodically, while maintaining a moderate soil moisture.
Replant bushes to a permanent place in the garden can be the end of May, after spring frosts. Caring for them is carried out by agro-technical regulations of that class.
