Choosing the right branch can increase the chances of success. Strong is a necessary condition, preferably once every two years.
Second, the choice of matrix
The requirements for the substrate are fertile, breathable, well drained and loose, preferably sandy.
Third, time control.
Generally speaking, summer and autumn are more suitable. But, specifically, the north and the south are different. For the north, it is best to do it in the greenhouse, from 10 to10/month, while the south is different, from April to beginning of autumn.
Fourth, cutting.
1, the selected branch cannot be inserted immediately, so it should be trimmed first. First cut off all the leaves in the lower part, and cut the lower part obliquely, about 45 degrees. Soaking in 0.05% rooting powder solution after pruning is helpful for rooting. After soaking for 15 seconds, take it out and dry it.
2. After the branch processing is completed, insert the substrates respectively. The row spacing is about twenty to twenty-five centimeters, and the spacing between plants is seven to eight centimeters. After insertion, flatten the soil.
3. Put them in a cool place with a relative humidity of 80% and a temperature of 20 to 24 degrees. You can take root in half a month.
