侧柏叶生发方法

To propagate a cypress tree from cuttings, you can follow these steps:

1. Select a healthy side branch of the cypress tree with several sets of leaves.
2. Cut a 6-8 inch long section of the branch just below a leaf node.
3. Remove the lower set of leaves to expose the nodes where roots will form.
4. Dip the cut end of the cutting in rooting hormone to encourage root growth.
5. Plant the cutting in a pot filled with well-draining soil or a mix of perlite and peat moss.
6. Water the cutting thoroughly and place it in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
7. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
8. After a few weeks, roots should start to develop. You can gently tug on the cutting to check for resistance, indicating root growth.
9. Once the cutting has established roots, you can transplant it into a larger pot or directly into the ground.
