Taxus chinensis can be propagated by sowing, but this method is slow, and the growth cycle of Taxus chinensis will be very long. So when we breed Taxus, in order to breed a Taxus quickly, we often choose cutting method to breed Taxus
We usually choose may to June in a year to carry out cutting propagation of yew. First of all, we should select a 1-4-year-old yew, cut off a section of about 10 cm wood solid branch, remove about three-thirds of the leaves at the lower end, and soak the cut end of the branch into a solution made of rooting powder, about three to twelve hours. We should select the coarse soil such as sandy soil and perlite as the cutting soil to cultivate Taxus chinensis, and plant the treated cutting branches into the cutting soil, then cover them with plastic cloth and other things, pay attention not to carry out strong light irradiation, spray water twice or three times a day, after a month, it can be reduced to water once a day, and the soil temperature is the best to protect. At 20-30 ° C, it will take root in 30-40 days. At this time, we can apply a little fertilizer to promote the growth of Taxus seedlings. After the seedlings take root, they can be transplanted to the common soil for planting.
