How to propagate orange trees

The main ways of propagating orange trees are seed propagation, grafting propagation, and cutting planting. Orange tree seeds can be propagated, and the natural way of propagating offspring is seed propagation, and cutting propagation is the fastest.

Orange tree breeding time

Orange trees are suitable for reproduction in spring and autumn. Generally, the ambient temperature can be above 15 degrees. The plants will take root and sprout quickly, and the survival rate is high.

How to propagate orange trees

Propagation of orange trees by division

You can first grow some orange seedlings, then cut off some branches of excellent orange varieties, and then graft them. Keep them in a semi-shaded and ventilated place, and you can cultivate excellent orange varieties.

Orange tree cutting propagation

Cut a piece of disease-free branches and leaves from a well-growing orange tree, then insert it into loose soil and add some rooting hormones. This way, the orange tree will grow easily.

Orange tree seed propagation

First prepare the high-quality orange seeds and do the germination process. Then turn the ground over, wet the soil in advance, and cover it with a thin layer of soil after sowing. Then you can wait for the oranges to grow out and then slowly cultivate them.

Orange tree propagation precautions

After the orange tree grows new buds, branches that are too small, too thick, or too dense need to be cut off. This can reduce the loss of nutrients and benefit the production of oranges. A major pruning is required before the fruit is harvested to ensure growth in the following year and increase fruit yield.
