How to reproduce the Royal Yellow

Cutting propagation

Cutting time

This method is generally carried out from May to October, because the temperature during this period is relatively moderate and the cuttings are easy to survive. If you can't wait in winter, do it indoors. The indoor temperature is not very low, so there won't be any problem.

Cutting steps

You should choose stronger branches so that their survival ability will not be too poor. It is best to choose one-year-old semi-lignified branches, because branches that are too young or too old have poor survival ability and a lower chance of survival. All the leaves on the lower part should be removed, and the leaves on the upper part should be left. There should be an oblique downward cut at the position where the bottom is inserted into the soil. The length of the branches should be about ten centimeters. If you apply an appropriate amount of indoleacetic acid, it can speed up the rooting process, but under normal circumstances, the rooting time is about three weeks.

Grafting

Grafting time

It is best to choose the golden period of their growth for grafting, which is usually done in spring and autumn.

Grafting steps

Generally, you should choose a double-sided blade to cut the branches, select young and healthy mother plants, tightly combine their cuts, and then fix them with plastic film. If conditions permit, you can also buy special grafting clips. This might work a little better. In addition to this method, there are also methods of docking and plugging. Of course, these two operations are more complicated, so it is recommended to choose the cleft method introduced above.

Kind tips

If cuttings are possible, try not to choose the grafting method. Cuttings are simple and have a high survival rate. But don’t worry, as long as you do each step carefully, control all conditions, and don’t ignore the important points, you can complete it.
