The first thing to consider before planting Lycium barbarum is its propagation method, which can be divided into seed propagation and cutting propagation, and cutting propagation can be divided into hardwood cutting and tender wood cutting. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of Chinese wolfberry with the editor.

1. Seed propagation

It is suitable for Chinese wolfberry to sow in April-May. Soak the dry seeds in warm water for 8-10 hours before sowing. After fully absorbing water, fish them out and prepare for sowing after a little drying. When sowing, a ditch of 4 cm should be opened at a row spacing of 25 cm, with a depth of about 1 cm. When sowing, the seeds and fine sand should be evenly mixed together, then sprinkled into the ditch and covered with a layer of fine wet soil, which can be compacted slightly. After sowing in the seedling stage, it is necessary to often water and maintain the moisture of the soil, which is beneficial to the growth of seedlings. In addition, it is good to weed and fertilize, and the unhealthy weak seedlings should be removed, leaving only strong seedlings.

2. Hardwood cuttings

Hardwood cuttings can be carried out in early April, choose sturdy branches, cut them into 5-20 cm, and generally choose a section with three buds as seedling cuttings. It is best to choose the base or middle of the branch, and the top or young part of the branch is not suitable to be used as a seedling. Soak the base of the cuttings with naphthalene acetic acid for 24 hours, then wash it with clean water before cutting. When cutting, the cuttings are vertically inserted into the seedbed, the row spacing is about 5 cm, the axillary buds are facing up, and it can take root in about 20-25 days.

3. Softwood cutting

Softwood cuttings are generally carried out from June to July. Before cutting, plastic sheds should be matched first, shading nets should be used outside the shed, and fine sand can be used as cutting beds in the shed. Collect semi-lignified shoots, cut them into cuttings 12-15 cm long, remove the base, and leave the upper leaves. Put it directly on the bed, water it three times a day, keep the leaves moist, keep the temperature in the shed at 30-34 degrees, take root one month after cutting, and transplant after 40 days a month.
