2. Cuttage propagation

The 1-2-year-old sturdy and pest-free stem was cut from the mother plant and cut into a single node of 5cm or 2-3 nodes of 10-15cm as cuttings. The upper end of the cuttings is cut flat, the lower end is cut into an oblique, the pruning tool should be sharp to avoid cracks, the upper section should keep the leaves, and the rest should be cut off. Cut along with cutting, if you can not cut in time, it is best to dip the root with greyish yellow mud, pseudo-planting and dark wet place. The time of cutting is generally before and after the spring rainy season, which can improve the survival rate. The cuttings are trenched according to the row spacing of 15-20cm, and the cuttings are obliquely inserted into the ditch according to the plant spacing of 1-2cm. The cuttings can be covered with a layer of sterilized fine soil, leaving only a small section exposed to the ground. Generally, cuttings can take root after 20 days, and the survival rate is more than 80%.
