Propagation methods of borage

1. Sowing and reproduction

(1) time selection: this kind of plant can generally choose the method of seed reproduction, or the method of raising seedlings for transplantation. If the method of open field cultivation is adopted, then we will generally choose the time of spring, mainly considering that the temperature is more suitable in this period. If it is the cultivation method of protected land, then it can be carried out all year long according to the specific needs.

(2) seed collection and treatment: choose a sunny afternoon to harvest, spread a few pieces of paper under the tree, and then shake the trunk. Because the seed of this plant is a small nut, its outer skin is very hard, so it should be specially treated before sowing, soak in warm water for one or two days, and change water every day. In this way, the emergence of seedlings will be faster, and will be more orderly.

(3) sowing: sow the treated seeds with the method of "hole sowing" and scatter them on the sown land that has been arranged. Just sprinkle three or four tablets into each hole, not too much. After sowing, need to cover a fine layer of soil, the soil layer is not too thick, about two to three centimeters on it.

(4) Note: if it is carried out in March or April, the seeds will basically emerge and grow a few leaves by about May. At this time, in order to promote the growth and development of plants and branches, we can use two or three times of fertilizer to promote. In addition, when it grows to about 20 centimeters, we need to "pick the core" for it.

2. Other methods

Sowing is the most frequently used method, although other methods are also available, but they are very rare, so let's not introduce them here.
