1、 How to breed

1. Sowing and reproduction: Cycas is unlikely to blossom and bear seeds. If there are signs of flowering and seed bearing, the seeds can be picked. After picking, you can sow at any time, or store it until the Spring Festival next year. The shell of the seed is very hard and cannot be sown after picking. It needs to be soaked in warm water for a period of time, then fished out and disinfected for a while, and then washed and dried. After the soil is prepared, seeds can be sown for cultivation

2. Cutting propagation: cutting propagation can be selected around May every year. This method is not commonly used. First cut the stem into 10-15cm thick pieces, and then dry them in the shade. After drying, the thick pieces are buried in the sand. After a period of time, the thick pieces of iron tree can germinate new buds. Then prepare loose humus and bury the germinated thick pieces

3. Tiller propagation: tiller propagation is selected from January to February of each year, the tiller buds with full growth are cut from the sprouting part, and then the tiller buds are planted in the nutrient culture soil

2、 How

Iron tree is suitable for growing in fertile and loose slightly acidic sandy soil. In order to ensure its growth, it is best to provide suitable soil. Keep it in a sunny environment, but it should be properly shaded. Water properly during the growth period to keep the soil moist and dry in winter. Compound fertilizer shall be applied once a month during the growth period, and foliar fertilizer shall be sprayed to ensure sufficient nutrients
