Citron can also be propagated asexually, first of all, select the branches that grow 2-3 years on the healthy and pest-free mother plant, remove the thorns, cut them into small segments of about 18 cm, and cut them in high temperature and humidity in spring. Similarly, press 30cm to open the ditch on the border surface, control the plant distance in 12-15cm, insert the cuttings obliquely, the cutting depth is about half or 1/3 of the cuttings, and then press the soil with your hands to make it closely connected and can be watered. Similarly, it can be transplanted after 1-2 years, and the row spacing should be controlled at 3 × 3 meters, one plant should be transplanted in each hole, the soil should be firmly covered, and the fixed root water should be fully watered.
