How to propagate American holly

How to propagate American holly

1. Cutting propagation

1. Time: Generally in winter, after the leaves fall. If it is too early or too late, it will affect the chance of survival.

2. Substrate: When choosing this aspect, both air permeability and drainage effects need to be considered. You can choose materials such as vermiculite and peat for mixing. A thickness of 7 to 9 cm will be enough.

3. Cuttings: Cut harder branches as cuttings.

4. Cuttings: Insert the cuttings into the substrate. Be careful not to insert them too deep; it is better to insert them shallowly.

5. Maintenance: After completion, watering is required. After that, remember to check the condition of the soil regularly. If you find that it has become dry, you need to add water in time.

2. Seed propagation

1. Time: In the second winter after collecting the seeds.

2. Collect seeds: In November, the fruits are generally red, and you can collect seeds at this time. Soak the ripe fruits in water and remove the seeds. Clean them, fish them out, dry them, and then store them in sand.

3. Sowing: After sowing the seeds, cover them with a layer of soil. Wait until April of the following year, when they germinate, remove the straw.
