Tips to Grow Photinia
- Arrange good quality Photinia cuttings.
- The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy. Fill the container with a good quality organic compost in the soil with a ratio of 2: 1.
- You should take a six- to eight-inch cutting from an area of new growth, generally at a point where the stem has just started to harden and mature. Remove the leaves from the lower half of the cutting.
- A container that’s around six inches in diameter is perfect for planting one or two cuttings.
- It can take as little as a month or as long as 20 weeks to produce new growth. Once this new growth appears, you can check whether your cuttings have rooted by gently tugging on the stem.
