Instructions for the summerly cuttings propagation

If the corkscrew grazing in the summer in the juice, life pulsates to the shoot tips. This is the best time to use new specimens of the ornamental shrub with cuttings. For this purpose, cut half lignified, non-flowering head shoots with a length of 20 cm. Please put the scissors just below a leaf node and remove all leaves in the lower half. Proceed as follows:

At the half-shaded, air-rimmed location, keep the substrate constantly slightly damp. Now, the offshoots of the corkscrew graze prove their remarkable vigor. Under ideal conditions, the seed pots are completely rooted until autumn so that the young ornamental shrubs can be planted in the bed and tub.

Rooting in water - That's how it works

To experience the fascinating process of rooting first hand, you can put the cut cuttings in a glass or a vase with water. To prevent rot, add a small piece of charcoal. On the bright, not fully sunny windowsill, the rhizomes sprout briskly and visible to everyone. With a length of 5-8 cm, pot the rooted offshoots.

Instructions for the winter Steckhölzer propagation

In contrast to cuttings, sockets are completely woody branches. These will cut you over the winter so that there is a sleeping eye at each end. In order not to confuse the polarity when planting, make the lower section diagonally and the upper section straight.

At a protected location in the bed, put the sticks two-thirds into the loose soil and water. A layer of foliage preserves the offshoots from frost and persistent. Alternatively, place the twigs in peat-sand pots and place in a partially shaded, frost-free location.

Tips

While an adult corkscrew grazing is completely hardy, this does not apply to young plants that have emerged from successful propagation. If you plant the Salix offspring in the fall in autumn, winter protection is urgently recommended.
