How does a banyan tree propagate
For most women, the topic of how a banyan tree propagates and the illustration of cutting propagation methods for banyan trees, such as flowers and plants, corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
Banyan trees have a certain ornamental value, so many people will keep them as potted plants at home. However, to make them more beautiful, propagation methods must be used. But how does a banyan tree propagate has become a big problem. In fact, the propagation method of a banyan tree is very simple. Just follow the steps of this cutting propagation method illustration, and then the process of propagating a banyan tree can be easily completed. Let's take a look with the editor below.
【Introduction to the Methods of Banyan Tree Propagation】
<1. Layering Propagation Method>
The most common propagation method for potted banyan trees at home is layering propagation. First, bury a part of the branch in the soil, then water it after pressing it down. The operation is very simple and suitable for beginners. It usually takes about a month to root. Select two-year-old branches, tie them up, and make some small holes in the plastic film. Once roots grow, they can be potted.
<2. Cutting Propagation Method>
There are many propagation methods for banyan trees, but if you choose the cutting propagation method, it must be done in spring because the climatic conditions in spring are suitable for the growth of seedlings. Just take 1 to 2-year-old branches, cut them into lengths of 5 to 15 centimeters, insert the prepared branches into the soil, leaving 1/3 in the ground, cover them with plastic film to keep moisture after cutting, and control the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius. Roots and sprouts will appear in 30 to 45 days. Once rooted, they can be planted in pots.
<3. Grafting Propagation Method>
1. First, we need to select a healthy branch from the banyan tree to use as the cutting for propagation. However, when selecting the cutting branch, be sure not to choose branches from a rotting banyan tree because the chances of survival will greatly decrease.

2. Then take out the previously selected branch, split the end into four equal parts, and let these four sides of the branch extend outward.
3. Next, apply some rooting powder to each of the four split parts, which helps to increase the survival rate of the seedlings and mainly promotes the germination process of the cutting in the soil.
4. Finally, insert it vertically into the prepared growing soil. As long as you take good care of the plant after potting it, it will quickly root and sprout. Then, as with any plant, fertilize and water it to make it flourish.
