Can the lucky tree be propagated by cuttings? How to make the lucky tree take root quickly by cuttings?

The lucky tree is also called the bean tree. It is suitable for growing in a warm, humid, sunny environment. It is not only resistant to high temperatures, but also not afraid of severe cold, and has high ornamental value. The lucky tree is easy to propagate, and the common propagation methods are sowing propagation, layering propagation, and cutting propagation.

Cutting propagation of lucky tree

The lucky tree can be propagated by cuttings , and the operation is also very simple. It is a common propagation method in daily life. However, it is necessary to choose the appropriate cutting time to increase the survival rate.

Lucky tree cutting time

The cutting time of the lucky tree is generally chosen in spring every year , specifically between March and April . At this time, the temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius, and the air humidity is also suitable for the growth of branches, which is conducive to the rooting of the lucky tree branches.

Cutting propagation method of lucky tree

1. Choose cuttings

   Choose a 1-2 year old lucky tree and cut off branches with a high degree of lignification, about 15 cm in length. Cut off the lower branches and leaves, and leave only three or two leaves on the upper branches. Remember to disinfect the cut area with a multi-ling solution to avoid bacterial infection.

2. Cutting method

   Generally, the depth of the branches of the lucky tree inserted into the soil is half or one-third of the length of the branches themselves, not too deep or too shallow. Generally, it will take about a month for the roots to take root. If you want to shorten the rooting time, you can use rooting agents to speed up the process.

3. Watering

   Before the lucky tree takes root, it needs to be sprayed with water frequently to keep the soil moist. After the new roots grow, the first watering needs to be thorough, and be careful not to have water accumulation. After that, it can be placed in a cool place. After 5 days, it can be maintained normally, watering every 2-3 days.
