1. Seed collection: From August to October, take out the seeds of Podocarpus and store them in a dry place. The best way is to seal them and put them in the refrigerator.

3. Planting: Plant the germinated seeds in the soil, cover them with soil, and finally cover them with a layer of straw to moisturize them. Spray them with water once a day, remove the straw after about a week, and provide appropriate shade. They will germinate in 40 days.

Breeding Note:

1. Fertilization: Apply decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer when repotting, and apply thinly several times during the growing season.

2. Pinching: Pinch the top of the plant during the growing period to avoid excessive growth.

3. Cut off rotten roots: When changing the pot, the rotten roots should be properly trimmed. Usually, the pot should be changed once every two years or so, otherwise it will hinder the growth of its root system.
