Methods of propagation of waxwood

1. Time Selection

Cutting is a method of reproduction. Timing is very important and is a prerequisite for reproduction and growth. It is best to do it in summer and autumn, when the air humidity is higher, which is more suitable for healing and growth between the two. It is best not to choose winter, even in a warm environment indoors, there will still be problems with healing and growth.

2. Cuttings

Cut a thick and strong branch from the ash tree, about 10-15 cm in length. Keep a few leaves on it to facilitate nutrient synthesis, and cut off the leaves at the bottom. After cutting it, you cannot plant it immediately. You need to put it aside and let the bottom dry for a while. Wait until the wound is dry before you start.

3. Prepare the medium

The medium should be breathable and not too sticky. It needs to ensure good ventilation and drainage to prevent water from accumulating at the roots and causing rot. Before use, expose it to the sun for a while to ensure disinfection and sterilization.

4. Take cuttings

After preparing the medium, insert the cut cuttings into it, then spray water to moisturize and promote rooting. Roots will grow after about 2-3 weeks, and they can be transplanted after the root growth is stable.
