Boxwood Bottle Propagation: Planting Methods and Care Tips
Peng Chengwen, a staff member of the Party School of Xiaoxian County, Anhui Province, cut three one-year-old branches, 1.5 chi long and about as thick as a chopstick, from a large boxwood tree last January, inserted them into a glass bottle, and placed it on the windowsill indoors (letting them get four hours of sunlight each day), changing the water once a week and spraying the leaves once. After one hundred days, each branch had quietly grown fibrous roots about one cun long and sprouted four to six new shoots, which was very delightful. After the boxwoods were moved into the ground, every single one actually survived. Those who want to propagate boxwood
