For some plants, autumn is the best time for pruning. However, it is a shame to dispose of the clippings. You can just as easily take cuttings from it. Since this is only possible in spring, we will explain to you here how to overwinter the shoots.
How do I overwinter cuttings in winter?
To overwinter cuttings, place them on a bright windowsill, if necessary use an LED lamp as an additional light source and provide warmth, for example with a heating mat under the cultivation pots. This is how you create optimal conditions for the successful growth of the cuttings.
Warmth is the be-all and end-all
Unfortunately, the chance of successfully growing cuttings in winter is slightly lower than at the usual times of the year, but with precautionary measures, success cannot be ruled out.
Location conditions
Especially in winter, light is essential so that the young plants can produce glucose for their growth. A bright windowsill offers the best conditions.
Aids
If necessary, you can also replace sunlight with an LED lamp (€89.00 on Amazon). You should also provide warm air. Since heating air is often too dry, it is recommended to warm the cultivation pots with a heating mat.
In spring you can plant your cuttings in the garden after successful overwintering.
