Common propagation methods of dragon beard tree

1. Cutting propagation of dragon beard tree

Prepare some loose and fertile flower soil, then choose a branch that grows well from the dragon beard tree, cut it off, treat it slightly with disinfectant, and then insert it into the flower soil. Place it in a semi-shaded environment and slowly maintain it. After the cuttings grow new young leaves and new roots, you can take it out of the flower soil and transplant it into a new flowerpot.

2. Seeding propagation of dragon beard tree

If the dragon beard tree is planted in a tropical area with high temperature and high humidity, it can grow seeds, and its seeds can be planted in the soil. However, considering the domestic environment, seeds can rarely be cultivated, and sowing and propagation are not recommended.

3. Layering propagation of dragon beard tree

The dragon beard tree can be propagated under high pressure in the hot and humid season. Cut the appropriate part of the plant stem with a width of about 2 cm. Then use a knife to peel off the ring cortex, wipe off the juice overflowing from the wound with a wet cloth, and then apply naphthaleneacetic acid aqueous solution to the upper cortex of the wound, and then insert it into the soil.
