How to take cuttings of the green treasure tree

2. time:

In spring, which is full of vitality, from March to April, we can carry out cuttings.

It is worth noting that in order for the branches to survive and take root quickly, cuttings can only be started when the surrounding temperature is higher than 15 degrees.

4. Clipping:

Select some woody branches that have been growing for 1 to 2 years from healthy and thriving trees, cut the branches into 15 to 20 cm lengths, and then use a knife to gently scrape off all the leaves on the branches. The incision below it should be 0.5 cm away from the node.

5. Insert soil:

Insert the branches into the prepared seedbed, the depth of the soil should reach one-third or one-half of the length of the branches, push the surrounding soil over to surround the branches, and then press the soil layer.

6. Moisture:

When the wounds of the branches are healing and taking root, spray water on the soil to keep it moist.

7. Transplanting:

After its roots have fully grown, you can transplant it into a pot along with the soil. It is best to transplant 2 or 3 plants together.
