It is also known as rotation Holly and American holly. It is a perennial shrub plant. It originated in the northeast of the United States and was later introduced into China. In China, it is mainly distributed in marshes, ponds and other humid places. As you can see from its pictures, a string of dense and shiny red fruits hang on the branches, which is very beautiful. Next, let's find out how it breeds.

Seed collection and treatment: the seeds can be collected after the fruit is red in November or so. After that, soak the fruit in clear water for eight to twelve hours, mince the pulp, take out the seeds, wash and dry them, and then sand them.

Treatment before sowing: after selecting the sowing place, first turn over the ground deeply, and clean up or burn the weeds, straws and other sundries around.

Sowing and post-processing: we usually choose to sow in the winter of the second year after collecting seeds. Spread the seeds evenly on the soil, and then cover it with a loose layer of soil. Then, it is the control of various factors, for example, in order to ensure the humidity can be covered with straw, and water enough. In April, when the seeds sprout, the straw covered on them can be removed.

Cuttings

Here we mainly introduce the method of hardwood cutting. This method is usually carried out in winter when the leaves fall behind.

The first is the preparation of matrix. We use perlite, vermiculite, peat and other permeable matrix. We can mix them according to the proportion of five to two to three, and the thickness is about seven to eight centimeters. Then the cuttings were carried out, and the spacing was controlled at about three centimeters. When cutting, pay attention not to be too deep, shallow is better. After cutting, water it and cover it with plastic film or arch shed. In addition, we should pay attention to check the water content from time to time. If it is dry, we need to make up water in time.
