Propagation methods of Sambucus officinalis

I. seed propagation

1. This kind of plant usually bears fruit in autumn, and we can collect the fruit until its fruit is ripe and the fruit has cracked. Note that it is collected when it has cracked but has not fallen off. After collecting, rub the fruit with both hands, and then the seed will be rubbed out, and then we can remove the impurities from the seed skin and use water to remove useless substances from the outside of the seed.

two。 Then you can prepare the nursery bed to cultivate bud seedlings. Generally, you choose to sow seeds by strip sowing, so you have to dig trenches and sow seeds after you finish sowing. After sowing, cover the surface of the seeds with a layer of soil 1 to 1.5 centimeters thick.

3. This kind of plant likes to sprout in places where the temperature is relatively low, so it is best to keep the temperature at 7.6-12.4 degrees.

4. During the emergence period, it should be given sufficient light, if these conditions are available, after about 3 or 4 days, it can grow shoots. The probability of sprouting of this kind of seed is about 72%, and most of the seeds can sprout if handled properly.

5. When it comes to its growing period, we should pay attention to the moisturizing of the soil, and often remove the surrounding weeds, so that the plant can fully absorb the nutrients it needs.

Two. cuttage propagation

1. If we don't like seed propagation, we can also use cuttings, usually in February, when it is easier to germinate, we have to pick out healthy and disease-free branches from strong plants. These branches can be cut into strips with a length of 20 to 25 centimeters. It should be noted that these branches must have more than 3 growth nodes.

two。 Then we can dig a 3-meter-wide seedbed and dig horizontal trenches with a spacing of 26 centimeters and a depth of 16 to 20 centimeters. We can cut 15 to 20 branches on a trench, and the top node must be exposed to the ground.

3. Then the ditches can be filled up with soil.
