1、 Breeding environment

1. Soil: the fertile soil with good air permeability should be used for breeding. Garden soil, peat soil and humus soil can be mixed as cultivation soil. In addition, the soil should be slightly acidic, which is more conducive to plant growth

2. Watering: it likes a humid environment and should be kept wet when watering, but ponding is strictly prohibited. In summer, we should water more to reduce the temperature, and often spray water to improve the humidity. However, the growth rate slows down in winter, so water should be controlled

3. Temperature: it is best to provide an environment between 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ at ordinary times, and its cold resistance is poor. Therefore, the temperature should be controlled above 5 ℃ in winter, otherwise it is easy to frostbite, affect growth, and make it impossible to spend the winter

4. Light: it should be maintained in the place with scattered light at ordinary times. If the light is appropriate and sufficient, the leaves will be more green and shiny. If it is kept in the shade for a long time, the plant will be lifeless and wilted

2、 Breeding method

Banyan can reproduce by cutting and pressing. However, cutting is more commonly used, simple and high survival rate. When cutting, use one to two-year-old branches as cuttings, dry the wound and insert it in the soil. Then pay attention to temperature control, and it will take root and survive in January. Semi woody branches are used for layering propagation. After treatment, the temperature should also be controlled. If it is successful, it can survive in January, and the survival rate is lower than that of the former
