The reproduction method of Baldcypress

sowing

This method is its main way of reproduction. The best time to operate is from March to April. Place the seeds in moist sand 2 to 3 months before sowing and maintain the temperature at 5 degrees. You can put them in the refrigerator. It will take about 80 days for the seeds to absorb sufficient water, so during this period, you must keep the sand moist and water it regularly. After sowing, when the plants grow to 80 cm to 100 cm in height, they can be transplanted.

Its seeds are very hard and sometimes even take longer to absorb sufficient water, so the seeds can be placed in the sand 10 to 15 days in advance.

Cuttings

The best time for cuttings is summer and autumn. During these two seasons, select branches with a length of 10 to 15 cm. However, these branches must be newly grown this year and must be strong and light brown. After selection, soak them in root-promoting water first, and then insert them into sterilized sandy soil. Cover them with plastic film and place them in the shade. You can open the film for watering during the day.

If cuttings are taken in summer, they can be transplanted when the plants grow to about 50 cm; if they are taken in autumn, healthy roots will grow that year and they can be transplanted in the spring of the following year. But during this period, we must ensure that the soil has a certain amount of water.
