How do rubber trees reproduce by pressing strips?

1. time

When doing this, choose the right time, preferably rainy season or summer, but the specific time needs to be on a sunny day.

two。 Position

It is best for plants to grow vigorously, and branches that have just grown one or two centimeters of aerial roots are the most suitable. Select the upper reddish brown branch and peel off the lower part of it where it has grown aerial roots. There will be a protruding point between its branches and nodes, which is the primordium of aerial roots, and then we will induce it to grow tender roots. We need to know that the place where it is peeled should not be too tender, otherwise it is easy to be infected with bacteria and then rot away directly, so we should pay attention to it.

3. Method

First of all, we have to peel it, cut its stem into two circles with a knife, and there should be a gap between the circles, which is three times the diameter of the branches and slightly dry branches. Then we have to pick out the middle skin with a knife, and then sprinkle it on the wound with charcoal powder, or we can wait for the wound juice to dry and then put the matrix more than ten centimeters above, or just use wet sand. One weighs from one jin to two jin. After applying the soil, we should tie a plastic sheet to the wound, then wrap it with a cloth, and finally tighten it up to avoid steaming off the water inside. After being tied up with a rope, leave a hole so that you can add water to it later, or let it receive the rain on its own. If the branch is very thin, we can support it with a stick or bamboo pole next to it, and tie the earth ball to the stick or bamboo pole.

4. After pressing

You can't ignore it after pressing it. We have to make sure that its plastic bag is moist, and if the humidity is not enough, we have to pour some water from the bevel left over. About 50 days later, a new root will grow out, and you can see that it is white. At this time, we have to cut off the branches from the bottom of the soil, cut off the plastic bag outside, and then plant it in the basin.
