Brazilian iron tree is often propagated by cutting. The cutting time can be from April to June, and the temperature can be kept above 22 ℃. Such a stable high temperature climate can promote Brazilian iron tree to take root as soon as possible. Other seasons can also be cuttings, but the temperature is too high and too low is not appropriate. If cuttings are selected in summer, it is easy to cause branches to rot. if cuttings are selected in winter, it will be difficult to root at low temperature.
