Seed propagation of Ficus microcarpa

Seed selection

1. The seeds should not be infested by pests.

2. Try to choose fresh seeds. No matter what plant the seeds are from, the older they are, the harder it will be for them to germinate.

3. When selecting seeds, it is best to choose plump and full ones.

After selecting the seeds, the seeds and the containers for cultivating the golden banyan tree must be disinfected before germination and sowing can be carried out.

Germination

Soak the flower seeds in warm water close to human body temperature for about a day. However, this step can be skipped because the seeds of the golden banyan are easy to germinate.

sowing

It is not advisable to sow too many seeds in one place, but the seeds of this plant are unusually small. So we can use some tools to slowly place them one by one on the soil. Don't cover the seeds with too much soil, one centimeter is enough. It is worth noting that when sowing banyan trees, the soil chosen should contain a certain amount of nutrients necessary for plant growth. After sowing, if you choose to sow in early spring or other colder seasons, you can move the plants indoors or wrap them in a layer of plastic bag or something like that to keep them warm when the temperature is low.

Repotting

If the plant seedlings grow more than three tender and healthy leaves, they can be transplanted. Once the plant is more mature, you can repot it regularly every year.
