Can banyan trees be propagated by cuttings?

There are two methods of propagating banyan trees: seed propagation and cutting propagation. The survival rate of seed propagation is relatively low. Now most people use cutting propagation, which is not only simple but also has a relatively high survival rate.

Banyan tree cutting propagation

Banyan trees can be propagated by cuttings. When doing so, you need to choose a soil suitable for the banyan tree. Banyan trees do not have high requirements for the soil. They need loose soil, good air permeability and water permeability, and slightly acidic soil. You can use garden soil, humus soil, and fine sand mixed in a ratio of 2:2:1. Such a mixed soil is more suitable for the growth of banyan trees.

Banyan tree cutting time

The time for banyan tree cuttings is generally in spring, summer and autumn, but it is best to choose spring for breeding, because spring is the season when banyan trees grow most vigorously and the environmental temperature is also suitable. The survival rate of breeding in spring is relatively high, and it is also conducive to later breeding.

Banyan tree cutting propagation method

The method of propagating banyan tree by cuttings is relatively simple. When cutting, choose healthy branches as cuttings, cut off most of the leaves, make the bottom into an oblique mouth, and soak them in rooting solution for a while. The substrate should be prepared to be soft and breathable. After preparation, insert it directly into the soil, water it thoroughly, and maintain it in a ventilated and cool place.
