How to propagate bamboo cypress and what to pay attention to

How to propagate bamboo cypress

There are two ways to propagate bamboo cypress, namely seed propagation and cutting propagation. Both methods have a relatively high survival rate, and they are also very easy to plant without any difficulty.

Bamboo cypress seeds can be propagated. Before planting, you need to collect the seeds first, and then you can plant them in spring.

Bamboo cypress seed seedlings propagate fastest. They are usually sown in a greenhouse and planted in loose and fertile soil.

Bamboo cypress breeding time

Bamboo cypress is generally propagated in spring or autumn every year, so its survival rate will be relatively high. It can also be propagated by cuttings, which will make it grow faster and not difficult to operate.

Cutting propagation of bamboo cypress

Bamboo cypress can be propagated by cuttings in March or September every year. The young branches cut should be selected from the current year or one-year-old branches as cuttings. Some of the leaves should be cut off to reduce water evaporation, which is also beneficial to survival. It is best to apply rooting powder on the wound, which is good for rooting.

Seed propagation of bamboo cypress

After the seeds of bamboo cypress are harvested, they can be sown in the greenhouse. Sowing can also be done in the open field in spring. The thickness of the soil covering the open field is about 2-3 cm, and some weeds or straw need to be covered. It usually takes about 20 days for the seeds to germinate.

Precautions for propagation of bamboo cypress

When propagating bamboo cypress, you need to pay attention to using loose and fertile soil when planting, so that it can grow well. It needs sufficient sunlight during the growth process, and it needs regular watering and fertilization.
