How to propagate tea oil

Sowing and seedling raising

This method is obviously for farmers who have seeds on hand. It can be done in both winter and spring. If you start sowing in these two seasons, they can germinate at the right time, making future management easier. It is also very important to choose the right soil. If possible, do not choose paddy soil or heavy clay.

Choose a location with flat terrain that is both sunny and sheltered from the wind. Be sure to lay a good foundation before sowing, and giving them some base fertilizer can make them grow better. After sowing, be sure to cover it with a layer of fertile soil and a thin layer of grass. This will ensure the moisture of the soil so that the seeds can germinate as soon as possible. After germination, you can remove the grass, get rid of the weeds, and loosen the soil.

Cutting seedlings

The length of each cutting can be about 4 cm, and it must have a leaf and a bud. Before you begin, be sure to apply special powder that facilitates rooting, and keep the spacing at about 10 cm. After completing the above steps, you need to water and shade them to facilitate future maintenance.

Depending on the size of the scion, make two cuts directly on the rootstock and pick off the skin. After that, connect it and bandage it, and pay attention to moisturizing and shading. The moisturizing bag must be protected within one month to prevent it from being damaged.
