How do azaleas reproduce with strips?

Rhododendron striping propagation is also one of the commonly used breeding methods, generally using high-tech striping. Rhododendron embossing is usually carried out between April and May. The specific operation method is as follows: first, take 2-3-year-old robust branches from the mother plant of potted azaleas, cut open a ring of annular branches about 1 cm wide with a sharp knife 10-12 cm away from the top of the branches, gently peel off the sieve tube of the phloem, cut off the channels for the downward transport of organic matter from leaves, and make them gather, so as to accelerate cell division and form nodular protuberances and germinate root buds.

Then wrap two loops loosely with a piece of rectangular plastic film, fasten it with a string at the lower end of the circular incision 2-3 cm, leave the upper end of the plastic film open into a trumpet bag, then fill in the wet soil and a little moss, tie up the upper end of the bag, and move the flowerpot out of direct sunlight for daily management. When watering, you should spray water on the leaves, let the water flow down the branches and slowly seep into the bag to keep the soil in the bag often moist, so as to facilitate the wound healing on the branches and sprout new roots as soon as possible. About 3-4 months later, when the roots grow to 2-3 cm long, the branches can be cut off, leaving the mother plant and planted in a new pot soil.
