How to propagate the fragrant wood

The main ways of propagating Fragrant Wood are cutting propagation and sowing propagation, so its seeds can be propagated, and its natural reproduction method is also through seeds, but cutting propagation is better because it is the fastest.

When does the fragrant wood reproduce?

Generally speaking, the survival rate of Fragrant wood cuttings is higher if it is carried out in spring and autumn, because the plant grows vigorously and has strong germination ability at this time, and the climate is suitable, which can promote it to take root faster.

Method of propagating fragrant wood

1. Cutting propagation of Fragrant wood

The cutting propagation of Fragrant Wood can be carried out in spring and autumn. Choose one-year-old strong branches of the mature mother plant as cuttings. The length of the cuttings is about 12-15cm, and the upper and lower incisions should not be too close to the young buds.

Prepare the substrate for cuttings. It is best to choose soil with good permeability and neutral or slightly acidic pH. Generally, permeable river sand or perlite can be used, which has a high survival rate. After preparation, insert the cuttings directly into the substrate, and water appropriately to keep the soil moist.

2. Seeding propagation of Fragrant wood

It is best to carry out sowing propagation of Fragrant Wood in autumn. Before sowing, soak the seeds in warm water at 20 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. After the seeds absorb water and swell, take them out and germinate them in warm and humid conditions before sowing.

Things to note when growing fragrant wood

1. Potted fragrant wood maintained indoors needs to be pruned regularly to control the height. Generally, it is necessary to prune overly dense branches. If you want the plant to have a fuller shape, you can trim off the top 2-3 cm of branches to promote the sprouting of new branches.

2. The seedlings of the fragrant wood are afraid of waterlogging, so the soil should be kept dry and loose as much as possible during the maintenance process. Generally, no watering is required or watering is done as little as possible. It is afraid of shade, so sufficient sunlight is needed during the maintenance process.
