1. Cutting method

1. Time: Single tree cuttings can be carried out all year round, as long as the temperature is suitable. In order to improve the survival rate of cuttings, it is best to carry out cuttings from May to June every year. This period is very warm and the climate is very suitable. It is also the period of vigorous growth and germination, so the survival rate can be guaranteed.

2. Cut branches: Choose a bachelor tree that grows well, and cut thick and substantial branches from the top of the plant to ensure that there are two stem segments on the branches and the length should be kept at about 8-10 cm. The cut cannot be used directly for cuttings. You need to apply lime on the incision and then put it aside to dry the incision.

3. Prepare sand: sand for cuttings Yellow sand, perlite, vermiculite, etc. can be used. Such a substrate has good air permeability and drainage, is easier to take root, and can also help subsequent growth.

4. Make cuttings: After all these are prepared, you can make cuttings. Level the soil and insert the branches. You don’t need to insert them too deep, they just need to be firm and not tilted. After cutting, do not see strong light to avoid burns caused by strong light, which will cause water loss in the wound. Maintain a suitable temperature to promote the tree to take root as soon as possible.

2. Other propagation methods

In addition to cuttings, the bachelor tree can also be propagated through seeding and tissue culture, but these two methods are not commonly used.
