The breeding method of Happiness Tree

Happiness trees can be propagated by sowing, cutting and striping, and all three methods are suitable for March-April.

The specific methods of reproduction control are as follows:

1. Sowing seeds

From March to April, soak it for 3 to 4 hours, fish it out and spread it out slightly, then mix it with sand and sprinkle it on the made seedbed, cover it with thin soil and cover with film to moisturize it. After the seeds emerge, remove the film and set up a shading shed to shade the light. When it grows 2 to 3 true leaves, it can be transplanted with soil mass, or when it grows 4 to 5 large leaves, it can be planted in pot or bag to strengthen the management of water and fertilizer, which can be sold as commercial seedlings in the same year.

Cuttage

From March to April, when the ambient temperature is about 15 ℃, cut 1-2-year-old lignified branches, about 15 cm to 20 cm long, delete all leaves, the lower incision is preferably located at 0.5 cm below the node, and cut them on the sandy soil seedling bed. The cutting depth is about 1 inch 3 to 1 cm 2 with the length of the ear. During the period of undercutting, healing and rooting, water should be sprayed to keep the seedbed moist. After its intact root system, it can be transplanted with soil mass into the pot, preferably 2 to 3 plants co-planted, which can be formed and sold as soon as possible.

Pressing strip

Ring peeling can be carried out from March to April under the nodes of 2-year-old strong branches or stems, and the peeling width is generally 2 to 3 times the diameter of the pressed stem. Under the ring peeling mouth, tie a piece of plastic film of 15cm × 20cm. Using clean, moist peat or sandy loam, squeeze a lump of soil with a diameter of 8 cm to 10 cm at the ring. Then, wrap the soil mass with plastic film, leave a good water port at the upper end, and tie it against the thick trunk to prevent the droop from being broken by the wind. At the end of autumn, after the ring peeling mouth grew a better root system, it was cut off from the mother plant and planted in a pot.

Happiness tree is an excellent tree species for garden planting and indoor pot planting because of its beautiful shape and long flowering period.
