1, Ardisia japonica can be propagated by cutting and high pressure. Cutting is carried out in spring (April-May) and autumn (9-65438+1October) with high temperature. Choose mature branches with 3-5 nodes a year and about 8- 10 cm in length as cuttings, remove the lower leaves and leave 1-2 leaves at the tip (if the leaves are large, you can cut off 1/3 leaves; The cuttings are soaked in water for a while and stained with yellow mud, and then inserted into the trough bed (based on river sand mixed with peat soil or mixture of vermiculite and perlite); Maintain high air humidity and provide sufficient moisture. The temperature is about 25℃, and it can take root and come out of the pot in about a month. You can also choose strong and mature branches for girdling, wrapped with water moss and propagated under high pressure.

2. Duck claw tree can be planted in clay mixed with humus and cow dung, or peat soil, humus plus 1/3 perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer can be used as culture soil. Liquid fertilizer should be applied every 1-2 weeks in the growing season. It is not suitable to apply too much fertilizer (especially nitrogen fertilizer) to mosaic varieties, otherwise the leaves will turn green and lose their original variety characteristics. In order to keep the soil moist, water it in time before it dries. When the weather is dry, it should also be sprayed to moisten plants. Liriodendron is growing rapidly and should be able to grow long branches. Usually, we should pay attention to shaping and pruning, promote the germination of side branches and maintain a good tree shape. It likes a little brighter light. In summer, it should be prevented from being exposed to the scorching sun, so as not to burn the leaves and dim them. Most suitable for semi-cloudy conditions, especially variegated varieties. Too strong or too weak light will make the patches of leaves inconspicuous and lose their due ornamental value.
