First, time. It can be carried out all winter, with 65438+February as the best.

Second, take the branches. Open the base of Chimonanthus praecox, and split the annual or biennial branches with the diameter greater than 1 cm from the base of the mother tree, and the branches are heel-foot-shaped. Of course, branches can also be cut off with an axe, but the damage to the tree base is too great, which is not conducive to the mother tree's branches in the next year.

Third, storage. Cut the chopped branches to the left, about 20 cm long, and smooth the hairy parts of heels and feet with a sharp knife. Then evenly arrange the head and tail into bundles and spray water, wrap them tightly with double plastic bags in a semi-wet state, and finally place them in the dark at room temperature 12℃ to 16℃.

Fourth, cutting. In about 20 days, when the heels and feet of Chimonanthus praecox expand, the white tissue expands, and the branches and buds germinate, they can be cut. When the amount is small, you can use a deep ceramic tile flowerpot, and often use pure coarse sand as a sand bed. When operating, first make a hole in the wet sand with a stick, then put the cuttings in and bury them, and then water them again after all.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) maintenance. No matter whether it is flower pot or sand bed cutting, it is necessary to set up a shed after completion, protect it with plastic film and place it in a well-lit room or greenhouse with a temperature not lower than 12℃. The home can be placed on the Chaoyang windowsill near the heating. Supplementary watering should not be too frequent, but should be carried out when it is half dry.
