Strip sowing or sowing shall be adopted in the field. The soil shall not be too thick after sowing, and the soil can be kept moist often< span>

Metasequoia glyptostroboides cutting propagation

both hardwood cutting and softwood cutting can be used< span>

Metasequoia glyptostroboides hardwood cutting

in the month of 1 , the healthy branches are cut from the 2 ~ 3 year old mother trees as the mother cuttings, generally about 15 cm. The cuttings are carried out in the first ten days of 3 month, and the branches are inserted in sandy soil to achieve the effect of heat preservation, moisture and antifreeze. Soaking them in rooting powder solution for 1 days before cutting can promote rooting; After cutting, adopt full light seedling raising, timely watering, weeding and loosening soil< span>

softwood cutting of Metasequoia glyptostroboides

softwood cutting of Metasequoia glyptostroboides is generally carried out in the last ten days of 5 month. Select semi lignified twigs as cuttings, cut them into about 15cm , keep the upper 4 ~ 5 Feather compound leaves, and then insert them into the soil. After plugging, we should pay attention to shading. In summer, we can replenish water through spray, while keeping moist, we should also pay attention to ventilation, which can promote cuttings to take root at an early date. span>

Metasequoia glyptostroboides transplanting

Metasequoia can be transplanted from late autumn to early spring. Metasequoia seedlings should be planted immediately to avoid excessive water loss. If long-distance transportation is needed, the seedling roots should be immersed in water to supplement water immediately after the plants arrive at the destination. Large seedlings must be transplanted with soil balls, filled with fine soil after applying sufficient base fertilizer and compacted, and watered with water after planting< span>

Metasequoia glyptostroboides moderately

in order to create a ventilated and transparent growth environment for plants, appropriate pruning should be carried out after the forest is completed. The best time is to prune Metasequoia after falling leaves to the beginning of spring, and the pruning intensity is 1 / 4 ~ 1 / 3 of the total length of the crown
