Accordingly, how do you take cuttings from a Chinese lantern?
Chinese lanterns are easily propagated by stem cuttings in late spring.
- Water the Chinese lantern the evening before you take a morning cutting from the plant.
- Cut the tip of a healthy shoot with a sharp knife or garden shears.
- Fill a shallow container with a mixture of half commercial potting mix and half perlite.
Secondly, how do you take maple cuttings?
Insert the bottom one-half of that cutting into the hole, and gently firm soil around the stem so that it remains upright. Repeat the procedure for each cutting, placing one cutting in each plant pot. Water the soil around each planted maple stem until the soil around it is moist to the touch.
A flowering maple requires full sun to partial shade outdoors and a bright room indoors. The plant may require shading from afternoon sun. Whether grown outside or inside, the shrub requires well-draining soil and a planting area or container to accommodate its growth.
