Detailed Explanation of Key Techniques for Propagating Crape Myrtle Bonsai by Cuttings

The crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) has a graceful tree form, curving branches and trunks, and brilliant flower colors. It belongs to the Lythraceae family and is a deciduous small tree. The crape myrtle blooms for a hundred days in red, and a gentle touch on its branches and trunk makes the whole tree move. Therefore, the crape myrtle is also called the hundred-day red and the ticklish tree. When planting crape myrtle, a wind-sheltered, sunny spot with deep, fertile soil and good drainage should be chosen. When transplanting large seedlings, a soil ball must be kept.
