Cutting: Choose from May to September, cut off branches of about 8 cm, insert them into the sandy soil, and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of water. Layering: Select well-growing branches, bury the middle part in the soil, and divide them after taking root. Grafting: Select rootstocks of the same genus, cut off strong branches as scions, and then insert them together. Sowing: Purchase suitable seeds, prepare a breathable substrate, and spread the seeds evenly.

1. Cuttings

1. Cutting

1. Time: The time for cutting can be from May to September. At this time, the surrounding humidity is relatively high, which is conducive to rooting.

2. Branches: Choose a mother plant with good growth status, which must be free of diseases and insect pests. Cut a branch of about 8 cm from it, which must be the same year. Don't cut it immediately after cutting it. You need to wait until the incision no longer drips juice. You can dip it in plant ash and put it aside to dry.

3. Sand bed: For the cutting substrate, it is best to use sand to keep it clean and free of pollution.

4. Cutting: Insert the branches into the sand bed. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of water inside and it will take about 15-20 days for roots to take root.

2. Layering

1. Layering: Select well-growing branches and bury the middle part in the soil.

2. Cut off: After the underground part takes root, you can separate the two parts.

3. Grafting

1. Preparation: Use keels with the same properties as rootstocks, and then cut off strong branches to be used as scions.

2. Grafting: Insert the two together and tie the tape on the outside. It will take about 7 days to survive.

4. Sowing

1. Seeds: This method is not commonly used. Suitable seeds can be purchased and must be healthy and free of damage.

2. Sowing: Prepare a breathable substrate, sow the seeds, pour an appropriate amount of water and place them in a bright place.
