Banyan branches can be inserted alive, and the survival rate is very high, can reach 95%. Branch cutting is also the main way of banyan propagation, and the method is relatively simple, and the requirements of the environment are not strict.
1. Cutting time: the cutting time is generally in the first ten days of May. But the banyan itself has a strong vitality, so time can only be in spring, summer and autumn. After growing slowly in winter, cutting should not survive.
2. Branch selection: select healthy annual branches for cutting. Length between 5 and 15 cm, including more than 3 bud nodes, with more than one pair of leaves.
3. Spikelet treatment: first remove the leaves at the bottom of the spikelet, so that the leaves in the soil can rot and affect the growth. After that, you can insert the branches into the plain sand, and place them in a cool place. Spray water 1-2 times a day to keep the air moist. If there is no particularly clean sand, you can soak it in the water first, wait for the bottom to grow white organic matter, and then potting.
4. Potting maintenance: after the branches grow new seedlings, they can be potted. Basin soil should be loose and permeable, and river sand or cinder can be used as culture soil. If you have the ability, you can also find saprophytic soil, according to garden soil, saprophytic soil and sand 2:2:1 to configure the culture soil. At the same time, add a little moss on the top of the soil, in addition to decoration, it can also play a role in drainage and ventilation.
