How to reproduce - step by step guide

1. First of all, you need to find a more attractive and break off a twig (that break off rather than cut with a knife or shears) from her annual increment hands to the handle and was last year's increase, the so-called "Heel." You can "otshmygnut" a few copies and put in a plastic bag. Next to the house to continue the procedure.

2. Find a suitable pot with drainage holes. Absorb its fertile soil (a mixture of peat and sand in a ratio of 1 1k, a mixture of garden land with sand in a ratio of 1 to 1, you can add a bit of moss taken from the forest, to retain moisture in the soil). The main thing is that the ground was porous, moist and loose, and circulate the air in it.

3. Before planting the cuttings to be treated with a solution of "Kornevina" for better rooting. But not necessarily. Cuttings are usually so well acclimatized.

4. "Heel" can be a little trim, so they purchased a round shape. Remove the bottom of the needle, as part of the stalk will remain underground. Better to leave the needles at the top, so that less moisture evaporates.

5. Stick the cuttings into the soil. Drizzle and cover with a sachet or a cut plastic bottle.

Cuttings should be periodically ventilate and monitor the moisture.

6. Put on the windowsill (on the south side is better not to).
