How to propagate Ficus microcarpa

How to propagate Ficus microcarpa

1. Seed propagation

The fruits usually mature in October. After being collected, they are put into a cloth bag, rubbed in water, and the seeds are washed out and sown. In some years, the seeds do not germinate.

2. Cutting propagation

Cuttings should generally be carried out after the temperature stabilizes in spring. Choose young trees and cut off their tender branches, with the top buds for cuttings. If you choose old branches, it will be difficult for them to survive. Clean the cut branches and carefully insert them into the sand bed. Make sure there is diffuse light and spray water appropriately to maintain it. It will take about 25 days for roots to take root and can be potted in about two months.

3. Layering propagation

This is generally propagated during the peak growth period. Choose 1-2 year old young branches, cut them and clean them. You can also apply a little wood ash, peel the bark in a ring shape and wrap it with mud for about 15 days. After it takes root, you can cut it and put it in the pot.
