Pedicel sprouting method: trim the pedicel, expose the bud point, apply hormone, wait for the leaves to grow, and then plant again. Sowing method: the seeds are planted in the mother soil, and transplanted after the aerial roots and leaves of young plants grow well. Tissue culture method: after the material is taken, it is sterilized and put into the culture medium. When the seedling takes root, it is planted under the scattered light.

1. Peduncle budding method

Cut off the bracts: first prepare the sterilized knife, then cut off the residual flowers on the plant, and then select the healthy and disease-free pedicel, cut off the bracts, and expose the bud point.

② hormone treatment: apply a small amount of indobutyric acid on the exposed bud to promote the growth.

③ waiting for leaves to grow: put the treated plant in the half shade and wait for its leaves to grow

④ transplanting in another basin: cut off the young plants with leaves developed from bud points and plant them separately.

2. Sowing method

① preparation: observe whether the pods are empty.

② natural sowing: the seeds from the dehiscent capsule are planted in the flower pot of the parent plant. As the mother, there may be symbiotic bacteria necessary for seed germination in the pot soil.

③ rooting: after germination, do not put the seedlings on the ground. Hang or put them on the shelf to make the air roots grow smoothly.

④ transplanting: when the plant grows 3-5 leaves, it can be transplanted to the basin.

Note: natural sowing method is suitable for family planting, but the survival rate is low.

3. Tissue culture

① material taking: take the tender stem, receptacle or pedicel, cut them to the proper size, and remove the redundant parts.

② disinfection: infiltrate the surface of plant tissue to sterilize.

③ rinse: Rinse 5-10 times in sterile water for about 3 minutes.

④ culture medium: put the culture medium into the autoclave for sterilization, insert the explant into the culture medium, and wrap the wrapping paper.

⑤ seedling cultivation: when the seedlings grow to 1-3 roots, they are planted under scattered light.
