Propagation methods of asparagus

There are three propagation methods of asparagus: ramet propagation, sowing propagation and cutting propagation, of which sowing propagation is one of the most commonly used methods, usually sowing around March and April every year. Just soak the seeds in water for a day or so before sowing, then remove and drain the water for strip sowing or on-demand sowing. Generally, the row spacing of strip broadcasting is about 30cm, and the distance between VOD lines is about 2cm.

Detailed explanation of various propagation methods of asparagus:

1. Split propagation: suitable for plants that have grown for 2 or 3 years.

Specific methods of reproduction: detach the plant from the basin, be careful not to hurt it, and remove the soil at the root; then separate the plant by hand and divide it into small plants, paying attention to each plant with some roots; finally, replant the divided plants into the pots prepared in advance.

After dividing the plant, you should first pour water, and then put it in a cool place for a week or so to maintain it normally. We can also apply some fertilizer to them after ramet, such as using horseshoe slices, etc., or we can directly add some pond mud to the bottom of the basin when preparing the basin soil.

2. Cutting propagation: it can be propagated at any time.

Specific propagation methods: first of all, we should select the plants suitable for cutting, the selected plants should be strong enough, and the branches and leaves should be luxuriant enough. After you have selected the plant, make a small cut on the branch you have selected with a clean knife. after half a day, coat the surface with a layer of sterilized fresh moss, then put it in a moist environment for about 10 days. When you will see a tuberous nodule at the cut, you can cut off the branch. All the branches on this branch can be cut off, leaving only two for cutting.

When cutting, we can make a bag by ourselves, fill it with wet soil, poke some small holes on the outside, then insert the branches into the 2cm or so, and wrap strips of cloth on the outside. Then put it in a large basin and fill it with dirt.

3. Sowing and reproduction: seed reproduction

Specific methods of reproduction: first of all, to collect mature seeds, when the seed skin is soft and blackened, it means that it is mature. After collecting the seeds, wash them strictly, dry them and then save them. Wait until April of next year before sowing.

The sandy soil should be prepared before sowing. If you have a basin, you'd better choose a tile basin. Of course, a wooden basin is also possible. When planting, poke a planting hole every 3cm, and put 3 seeds in each hole. Then spread a thin layer of soil on it, usually 5cm will be fine. After planting, it should be watered thoroughly and covered with plastic wrap to keep it moist. The temperature should be about 25 degrees Celsius.
