Can pomegranate trees be propagated by cuttings? How can pomegranates be propagated by cuttings to make them take root quickly?

Pomegranate trees are very common in life. Because they symbolize fertility, prosperity and development, many people like to plant them at home. So can pomegranate trees be propagated by cuttings? How can pomegranates take root quickly by cuttings? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

Can pomegranate trees be propagated by cuttings?

Pomegranates are usually grown by layering and division. The root system is not well developed, and the seedlings are slow to grow after transplanting and the fruits are late. In the rainy season, softwood cuttings are used for cultivation. The cultivation speed is fast, the survival rate is high, and the growth is strong. There are sowing, cutting, division and so on. Generally, we use cuttings to raise seedlings. Pomegranate trees can be cut in spring, summer and autumn. Spring is suitable before the pomegranate tree sprouts.

How to make pomegranates take root quickly by cuttings

Cutting pruning method

For pomegranate branch cuttings, choose one-year-old new branches for cuttings, especially the long branches at the base of the pomegranate tree, and then shorten them appropriately. The length of the pomegranate branches should be about 2 to 3 nodes, and the length should be about 10 cm. It is best to choose oblique cutting method at the base of the pomegranate branch.

Density of cuttings of pomegranate

It is necessary to choose the appropriate density when you are grafting pomegranate trees. Try to control the row spacing at 25cm and the plant spacing at about 15cm. Suitable temperature can effectively promote the growth of grafted pomegranate trees. If the grafting density is too dense when grafting pomegranate branches, it will cause poor ventilation and light effects on the pomegranate trees.

Preparations before cutting pomegranate branches

It is easier for pomegranates to survive if they are propagated in spring and autumn. Now it is deep autumn, which is more suitable for the propagation of pomegranate trees, so you can just choose rooting powder for soaking. When I did the propagation before, I always chose the solution of fungus and toxin for soaking, or you can choose the solution of carbendazim for soaking, which can effectively improve the survival rate of pomegranate branch cuttings.

What should be paid attention to when cutting pomegranate trees?

First of all, when you are cutting pomegranate branches, try to choose loose, well-drained soil, and then choose the correct watering operation. It is sufficient to water them about once a week. Finally, the pomegranate branches do not need to be covered with film for cuttings. The appropriate temperature can effectively facilitate the survival of the pomegranate branches.
