1、 Strip pressing time

Milan is usually pressed from April to August. This plant is native to the south. It likes warm and humid climate and is very afraid of cold. Therefore, it must avoid late autumn and early winter. At the same time, it should not be carried out in early spring. In addition, in the plum rain season, it is easier to make it take root and has a high success rate

2、 Branch selection and girdling

Before preparing for layering, first select a plant that is strong and free from diseased insects, and find an annual lignified branch from above. Then, girdle the bark 20 cm away from its base to expose its xylem. The width of girdling is about 1 cm. In addition, the lower lateral branches should be cut off to avoid nutrient consumption

3、 Soil covering and moisturizing

After girdling, it usually needs to wait a few days before covering the soil. Because the sap is transmitted upward from the middle of the branches and then downward through the bark, it can accumulate nutrients every few days. Moss or peat soil shall be applied at the stripping place. In order to better moisturize, it is necessary to spray water properly and tie it tightly with plastic bags to avoid soil falling off

4、 Separation and colonization

Milan layering usually takes two months to take root, but it is not possible to separate and transplant after growing roots. It usually takes half a year. When the root system of the plant has developed and the climate is relatively warm, it can be cut and planted. Prepare the flowerpot and soil, plant it in the new soil, and put it in the half shade to wait for the basin
