Sowing: after the seeds are collected in August, sowing shall be carried out to keep the basin soil moist and shade in midsummer for maintenance. Twig Cutting: the half mature branches of the year are used as cuttings. The first half of the year is from May to early July, and the second half of the year is from August to September. Hardwood cutting: cut the thick and strong branches completely lignified in the previous year, and pay attention to improving the soil temperature in early spring.

Sowing season

The sowing of Podocarpus was carried out in August every year. It can be carried out after the seeds are collected in August.

Sowing and maintenance

The growth of seeding seedlings is slow, the basin soil needs to be kept moist, and shade maintenance should be carried out in midsummer. The main fertilizer was light fertilizer, and the seedlings were easily burned if the concentration was too high. When transplanting into the basin, the seedlings need to carry soil.

Twig Cutting

Twig Cutting refers to the cutting method of using the half mature branches as cuttings in the growing season of seedlings. It is mainly applicable to evergreen and semi everpothosy flowers.

In the first half of the year, Twig Cutting is generally carried out from the late May to the early July, and in the second half of the year, it is carried out from the late August to the late September. The seedlings planted in the first half of the year should be prevented from high temperature burns and diseases. The seedlings planted in the second half of the year should pay attention to the heat preservation and antifreeze in the middle and later stages. The time to open the shade net is the last ten days of November. In case of drought, the time to open the shade net can be extended to the last ten days of December.

Hardwood cutting

Hardwood cutting refers to the method of cutting the thick and strong branches completely lignified in the previous year in the dormancy stage of the tree sap not flowing from February to march in early spring.

Hard branch cutting is not as easy to root as tender branch cutting, so some measures to promote rooting need to be done, such as wiping some rooting powder on the incision, and then inserting into the basin.

In early spring, we should pay attention to improving soil temperature and controlling the temperature of growing environment.

propagation mode of Podocarpus: sowing

In a word, whether it is softwood cutting or hardwood cutting, it is necessary to do a good job in disinfection of cuttings and soil, as well as regulating the temperature, humidity and light of the seedbed.

I hope that Xiaobian can also raise the vigorous, vigorous, elegant and upright arhat pine of his friend's family, and that Huayou can learn the breeding method of arhat pine to make the family more green and elegant.
