1. Sowing and propagation

When its fruit is ripe, we can pick it off, then knock open the shell, take out the seeds inside and plant the seeds immediately. Before sowing, the soil should be prepared in advance. The selected soil is generally plain sand, and the sowing distance is usually 5 × 10 cm, buried under the soil about 3 to 4 cm deep

After planting, put the flowerpot in a basin full of water and soak it. Control the temperature between 25 ℃ and 30 ℃, and the seeds will sprout in about a week. When the seedling grows about 4 leaves, it can be moved to the pot for planting. When planting in the basin, pay attention to planting shallowly, and properly expose the soil surface at the root

2. Cutting propagation

This breeding method is easy to obtain materials, has a high probability of seed survival, and can reproduce many plants at the same time. The specific operations are as follows: select the top branches as cuttings and insert them into the soil prepared in advance. Generally, plain sand is selected as the matrix soil. After insertion, it is necessary to pour water once, and it is best to cover it with a layer of transparent film, which can have a good moisturizing effect

Put the inserted branches in an environment of 25 to 28 degrees and take root in about half a month. This method can be used throughout the year in China, but it is only applicable from May to August in the north. Pay attention to shade in summer

3. Grafting propagation

Some varieties of fortune tree can also reproduce in this way. Its advantage is that it can maintain the characteristics of the mother plant. This method can usually be adopted in August and September. Use it as rootstock, select the twig with 3 buds as scion, and operate with twig splitting method. After grafting, it should be put in a plastic shed to avoid the newly grafted branches from being caught in the rain. As long as you raise it carefully, it can grow into saplings in those years
