---

There are two ways of breeding Milanese. Propagation by cuttings is carried out from April to June. The temperature at this time is very helpful for the rooting of cuttings. Select a plant that grows vigorously, cut a 10 cm long branch as a cutting, insert it into the soil, and water it once. Layering propagation is carried out from April to August. Find an annual lignified branch, girdle the base and wrap it with wet soil. Separate and plant after rooting.

1. Propagation by cuttings

1. Cutting time: Milan cuttings are usually carried out from April to June. The temperature at this time is relatively high, making it easier for the cuttings to take root. When the local temperature is 25-28℃, the cuttings will take 50-60 days to take root. When the local temperature is 30-32°C, it only takes 40 days for the cuttings to take root.

2. Cutting processing: usually select a strong-growing Milan plant, and cut an annual lignified branch from it as a cutting. The leaves at the top of the branch should be thick, green in color, and the axillary buds should be full. . The length of the cut should be about 10 centimeters. Remove the middle and lower leaves and keep the top 2-3 leaves. The bottom should be flattened.

3. Soil preparation: The substrate for cutting Milan should generally be loose. , the drainage should be good, which is conducive to the growth and breathing of new roots. Generally, vermiculite or coarse sand can be used. In order to avoid insect eggs or germs, you can first expose it to the sun, or fry it in a waste pot, which can also achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization.

4. Make cuttings: Use bamboo chopsticks to make a hole in the prepared substrate, insert the branch into it, and the depth should be more than one-third of the length. Firm the soil down with your hands to ensure a good fit between the substrate and the cuttings. After cutting, water it thoroughly, maintain good ventilation, and avoid direct light.

2. Layering propagation

1 . Layering time: Milan layering is mostly carried out from April to August. Like cuttings, you should also choose a time when the temperature is higher and the plant grows faster, so that it is easier to take root.

2. Select branches for girdling: Select annual lignified branches and girdle them 20 cm from the bifurcation part with a width of about 0.5 cm. The xylem should be visible after girdling.

3. Cover the soil with moisture: Use moss or wet soil to cover the surrounding area. Wrap the peeled area and cover the outside with plastic film, which can have a moisturizing effect.

4. Divide and transplant: Usually the girdling area will take root in about two months, but it cannot be transplanted immediately. It usually takes half a year to separate it, and then it can be transplanted in a pot.
