How to breed General Stick

Cutting propagation of General Stick

When propagating the general stick, the most commonly used method is cutting. Under normal conditions, the cuttings of the general stick can be carried out in May and June, but if the appropriate temperature can be maintained, the cuttings can be carried out all year round.

When it comes to propagating the general stick by cuttings, the method is actually very simple. Cut a branch from the general stick plant, place it in a cool place to dry the wound, and then proceed to cuttings.

Put the cutting medium in the flowerpot, choose clean plain sand, insert the cuttings of the general stick into the soil, and then keep the soil moist. Be careful not to overwater. Once the general stick takes root, it will survive.

Grafting propagation of the general stick

When cultivating the general stick, in addition to the method of cutting propagation, you can actually use grafting propagation, which can speed up the growth rate of the general stick.

Choose some plants of the genus Euphorbia in the Euphorbiaceae family, such as Emperor Jin or King Whip, as rootstocks, and use the flat grafting method to graft the General Stick onto them. This way the breeding effect is also good.

Seed propagation of General Stick

Seed propagation is also one of the more commonly used propagation methods for general sticks. However, compared with cutting propagation and grafting propagation, seed propagation is still relatively difficult and has lower feasibility. Therefore, when propagating the general stick, it is recommended to mainly use cuttings and grafting.
