Generally speaking, cutting is the main method of planting Muxiang tree, and layering grafting, hard branch cutting and soft branch cutting can also be used. Bare roots can be transplanted during dormancy, and strong pruning should be carried out when transplanting. If the leaves are dull during the growing season, it is a lack of fertilizer. Moderate pruning should be carried out in winter, and the branches should be too dense and too thin.

Mushrooms can also be planted or planted in flower ponds. The flowerpot should be large, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied when planting, and a bracket should be set for it to climb. During the growing period, the basin soil should be kept moist without water accumulation, and the decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer should be applied every 20 ~ 30 days. Pay attention to not too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the branches and leaves will flourish and the flowers will be few. In addition to pruning in winter, the remaining pedicels and some branches should be cut off in time after the flowers wither, so as to ensure the centralized supply of nutrients, grow strong new branches and bloom more in the coming year.
