Its reproduction is mostly carried out in two ways. First, the seeds should be sown. Before sowing, they should be soaked in warm water and germinated. Then dig furrows for sowing. After planting, spray water and maintain a certain humidity, so that the seedlings can emerge in about ten days. Wait until autumn or next spring before transplanting. The second is cutting propagation. The method is also very simple. Select the branches that are growing in the current year, insert them into the substrate after treatment, and maintain them in a semi-shady place. New roots will grow soon.

1. How to propagate

1. Seed propagation: Sowing is usually done in April every year. When sowing, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours, then move them to wet sand for germination. Proper germination can speed up the emergence time. The planting method is very simple. Sow seeds in trenches with a row spacing of 20-22 cm, and cover them with a thin layer of soil after planting. During this period, water should be sprayed every two or three days. The seedlings will emerge in about ten days and can be transplanted in autumn or the spring of the next year.

2. Propagation by cuttings: Propagation by cuttings is more commonly used and can be used in all seasons. It can be done, but it is recommended to choose spring and autumn. Select the current-year-old branches as cuttings and cut them into 10-15 cm long sections. Prepare a loose substrate and then insert the cuttings into the soil. Be careful not to dig it too deep into the soil, maybe half the size of the cuttings will do. After planting, water it thoroughly and keep it in a semi-shady and ventilated place. New roots will grow soon.

2. How to manage it

It In the seedling stage, the demand for water and nutrients is relatively high, so watering frequently and fertilizing must be done regularly during management. The soil should be moist, without water shortage or stagnant water, and pay attention to drainage during the rainy season. Fertilizer should be applied every half month to ensure vigorous growth with sufficient nutrients. In addition, it likes light very much. If you want it to grow vigorously, it cannot do without light. It usually sees more light, but it must be shielded from the scorching sun in summer and not exposed to the sun.
