How to Propagate Chinese witch hazel?
Propagate chinese witch hazel via semi-hardwood cuttings in summer or softwood cuttings in spring. Locate a healthy, non-flowering stem, make a 4-6 inch cutting, dip the end in rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil. Maintain moisture and warmth, avoiding direct sunlight. The difficulty level is moderate, with challenges including temperature maintenance and avoiding rot. Steps include selecting a cutting, treating with hormone, planting, and providing consistent care until established.
