How to Propagate Red tip photinia?
(Photinia × fraseri)
Red tip photinia, also known as Red tip photinia
Red tip photinia thrives when propagated through cuttings. Use semi-hardwood cuttings from healthy branches for best results. Cuttings should be about 6-8 inches long, taken from the upper part of the branch. Ensure each cutting has several leaf nodes, as these are critical for root development. The cuttings should be planted in well-draining soil mixed with peat moss or sand to enhance aeration and moisture retention. It is advantageous to apply a rooting hormone to the cut ends before planting to stimulate root growth and increase the chances of successful propagation.
