Bud insertion can be combined with flower shaping and flower thinning in spring and autumn. The extra buds on the branches are completely dug with a sharp knife, and then inserted into vermiculite or plain sand one by one, and the bud tips are exposed outside the substrate. After insertion, water is poured and covered with plastic film for moisture retention; Leaf bud insertion can also be used. Before the axillary bud is mature and full, the first axillary bud at the base of the leaf, generally about 10 cm long, is shallowly inserted into the sand bed. When inserting, pay attention to insert the cutting buds upward into the sand, leaving the buds and leaves outside the soil surface. Pay attention to spraying water, shading and windproof after cutting, so as to avoid excessive water loss and affect survival; Root cutting is generally carried out in late autumn or early spring when transplanting or dividing plants. When cutting, the excessively long taproot on the mother plant is cut into small pieces of 5 ~ 10 cm. Coarse roots can be inserted obliquely under the topsoil, and fine roots can be placed horizontally on the seedbed and covered with fine sand, with a thickness of about 1 cm. Because the root cutting is generally buried shallowly, it is necessary to keep the topsoil moist and exposed to full sunlight frequently, so as to raise the soil temperature and promote rooting and germination.
