It likes to grow in a warm environment, with very low cold resistance, and must be placed in a place with abundant sunshine and good air circulation. For plants like this, how can we breed them? Let's share with you.

I. strip propagation

This propagation method is best carried out from May to June in the growth period. Select the branches with strong growth, peel them in a circular way, and then wrap them in a white plastic film. In about 50 days, new roots can be produced. At this time, planting can be carried out. This method is easy and has a high rooting rate.

Second, seed reproduction

Select the plump and fully mature fruits, and knead them repeatedly in water until the seeds and pulp are completely separated, and then select the larger ones for drying. It can be sown in spring and autumn. If it is spring, it is best to choose between March and April. If it is autumn, it is best to choose between September and October. First spread the seeds evenly on the sand bed, then cover it with a layer of 12mm thick soil, and then cover it with straw. At this time, you can water it now, but be careful not to wash out the seeds, and be sure to water them thoroughly. When there are sprouts, you can take off the straw. When there are 2 to 3 leaves, you can transplant and plant. The distance between seedlings should be controlled between 15cm and 20cm.

Murraya paniculata

The above two methods are commonly used, and the survival rate is also high. It also has a way of reproduction, that is, grafting, but this way is more complex, if there is a bit of operational error, it will directly lead to its failure to survive, so we will not introduce it in detail here.
