The invention belongs to the technical field of 
seedling cultivating, and relates to a cuttage 
seedling cultivating method of 
Ligustrum sinense cv. Variegatum. The method includes the steps of selecting a semi-lignified annual 
branch of a parent, shearing the annual 
branch into a cuttage 
branch 8 cm to 10 cm long, keeping 2 to 3 buds and 2 to 4 leaves, shearing the upper end of the cuttage branch flat, obliquely shearing the lower portion 1 cm to 1.5 cm away from the 
bud above to form a smooth shear opening, inserting the cuttage branch into a sterilized 
perlite and turfy soil mixed medium after placing the cuttage branch into a culture solution to be soaked for 1 hour to 2 hours, and conducting bare-root 
transplanting 40 days to 45 days after the cuttage branch is cultivated in the sterilized 
perlite and turfy soil mixed medium. The mixed medium formed by 
perlite and turfy soil according to the weight ratio of 5:1 is adopted as the cuttage medium, and the method is high in breathability and 
moisture absorption performance, low in cost, beneficial to 
root system growth and high in rooting rate; through the soaking process, 
cutting slips are soaked in the 
nutrient solution for 1 hour to 2 hours, and therefore roots of the 
cutting slips have 
sufficient time to absorb nutrients in the 
nutrient solution and are then 
cut into the well-prepared mixed medium, root nodules are formed 5 days to 7 days later, rooting is achieved 13 days to 15 days later, the bare-root 
transplanting can be achieved 40 days to 50 days later, the 
survival rate is high and can reach 95% or above, and the 
seedling establishment cycle is short.
