---

There are three methods of reproduction. The first is the cutting method. Choose the branches of the current year as cuttings, with a length of 5-15cm. Don't insert it too deep into the soil, just about one-third of the way into the soil. After planting, water thoroughly and wait for roots to take root. The second is the layering method. Peel off a circle of bark, prepare a piece of film and put wet soil on it to cover the wound. Roots will take place in about a month. The third is the sowing method. Choose plump seeds, sterilize them and sow them on the soil surface. After sowing, cover them with moist soil and wait for germination.

1. Propagation method

1. Cutting method: Its propagation is often carried out by cutting method. The time is in spring or autumn. Choose strong branches that grow in the current year as cuttings, with a length of about 5-15 cm. The substrate should be prepared to be water-permeable and have good air permeability. When ready, insert the cutting about one-third of the way into the soil. After planting, water it thoroughly and keep it in a warm place. It will take root soon.

2. Layering method: Layering method is to choose strong and healthy wood. Peel off a circle of bark from the lower 15-30 cm of the branch, about 1 cm wide. Then prepare a piece of film, place it on moist soil, and then wrap the wound. Pay attention to the two ends of the film to be tied tightly. It will take more than a month for roots to take root.

3. Sowing method: You can also use the sowing method. Choose plump seeds and sow them on the soil surface after disinfection. After sowing, cover it with a layer of soil 1 cm thick, and then water and moisten it using the soaking method.

2. Pruning method

Pruning of variable-leaf wood is usually carried out after transplantation. Keep two or three leaves and pinch them twice. This can germinate more side branches and promote a fuller plant shape. If yellow leaves are found during daily management, diseased branches should be cut off in time to save nutrients and avoid infection. In addition, when repotting, it must be combined with root pruning, so that it can better absorb water and nutrients in the later period, which is beneficial to growth.
