1. Cutting propagation

This method is widely used in Rhododendron planting. It is generally carried out from May to June. We can cut its strong new branches, which should not be too long or too short. Generally, it is best to be about 5 to 8 cm, and then cut off its lower leaves, leaving 2 to 3 top leaves as cuttings, The base of cuttings should be easily treated with some that are easy to root, and then cuttings should be placed in the relatively loose air supply and acidic soil containing humus, and the temperature should be kept between 20 and 25 degrees, because this temperature is more suitable for its growth and development. Then it should be shaded to a certain extent, and it should often spray a little water to keep it moist, so that it can send out new roots faster

2. Shoot propagation

This method of shoot propagation is generally used on the rare Rhododendron species that are difficult to survive. We can first cut off its twigs, which are generally 3 to 4 cm long, then use them as scions, cut its base into a wedge shape with a sharp knife, then use the cuckoo as rootstock, use twigs to split and connect, and then put it in a cool place, which can not be exposed to strong light, and then find some films to bind them, In addition, some plastic bags can be used to cover the scion and rootstock together, so that it can keep moisture well

3. Warm tips

Whether it is by cutting or by twig propagation, we must pay attention to the temperature and water demand during propagation, let alone the damage of diseases and pests and carelessness. In addition, if you want to breed faster, it is generally completed by cutting. This method is relatively simple, and the survival rate is also very high and easy to operate. Only some varieties that are difficult to reproduce or more valuable will use twig control methods
