The best cutting time is from May to June, when the survival rate is very high. Cut the mature branches from the top of bayberry, keep 3-4 leaf nodes on the stem, do not cut them immediately, and put them aside to dry. The sand bed can be made of pure sand, clean perlite, vermiculite, etc. the cut branches can be inserted into the sand bed after being dried, and the roots can be promoted by spraying water properly, about 30 days later.

Select the plants with good growth state, and cut the mature branches from the top. The length of a section is about 6-10cm, and the branches on the top are the best. After cutting off the branches, there will be some white juice flowing out of the wound. Pay attention not to cut immediately, and do not let the juice flow to the hand.
