The bachelor tree is generally cut during the warm season, preferably around May-June. Choose a plant that grows healthy and strong, and cut the top branches from the top to ensure that there are two stem segments with a length of about 8-10 cm. Cuttings cannot be cut immediately. They need to be dried slightly before cutting. The sand bed for cuttings mainly uses yellow sand or perlite as the medium.

After taking root, transplant them into flower pots, and do a good job of later cultivation and maintenance management.

1. Cutting time

The bachelor tree can be propagated by cutting, usually in the warm season, around May-June. The temperature is moderate during this period, which is very suitable for cuttings to take root. Cuttings can also be made during the rest of the time, but the survival rate is a bit worse. In summer, cuttings need to be shielded from the hot sun. In winter, cuttings can be made in a greenhouse. As long as the temperature is suitable, the cuttings can survive and take root.

2. Cut the branches

3. Preparation of sand bed

The sand bed used for cuttings must be prepared in advance, mainly using yellow sand or perlite as the medium. You can also choose sandy loam with good drainage, and be sure to ensure permeability.

4. Make cuttings

After the sand bed is processed, you can make cuttings. Insert the branches of the bachelor tree into it. It does not need to be too deep. The cuttings will take root in two or three weeks. After the roots take root, you can prepare the flower pot and substrate, transplant it into the flower pot, and do the later cultivation and maintenance management.
