Tips to Grow Quince flower
- Arrange good quality Quince flower cuttings.
- The soil should be well-draining , loamy. Fresh compost should be added to the soil at the time of planting.
- Cut several stem clippings from the previous year’s growth. The diameter of the stems should be that of a pencil.
- Leave the top leaves intact, but remove the rest of the leaves.
- Dip the cutting in a rooting hormone, then embed it in a well-watered, sandy, general-purpose soil. Cover with plastic and set it in a spot with bright light but not direct sun.
- After a month, check to see if the cutting has rooted by gently tugging the stem. If the stem resists pulling, then it is rooting properly. Wait one more month and then transplant outdoors.
- Prune just after blooming is over since the bushes bloom on old wood. Pruning should be fairly light, but when done immediately after blooming it will stimulate new growth that makes for more profuse blooming the following spring.
