How to grow a banyan tree

Make sure there is enough moisture, but the potting soil should not be too wet. The amount of watering should be reduced in winter and the rainy season, and water should be drained in time during the rainy season to avoid root rot and leaf fall due to water accumulation. 3. Light: Banyan trees like sunlight and can tolerate semi-shade. It's best to give it plenty of light. If there is not enough light, the leaves will become larger or fall off. 4. Temperature: A growing environment of 20-30°C should be provided. Not cold tolerant, the temperature cannot be too low. It should be kept at 5 in winter, and it can also be cultivated indoors.

2. Propagation method

Propagation by cuttings: Select healthy branches, insert them into the soil, water them thoroughly, and place them in a cool place. If done in early spring, cover with film to avoid frostbite.
