Tsaoko is the fruit of ginger cardamom plant, grows in tropical and subtropical humid broad-leaved forest, likes warm and humid climate, afraid of heat, afraid of drought, afraid of frost, annual average temperature 15-20℃, breeding methods mainly have subplant reproduction and seed reproduction, let's take a look together!

Tsaoko propagation by plant division

Before budding in spring, healthy ramets of one year old were selected from the mother plant cluster, and the lower leaves were cut off, leaving 2-3 upper leaves to reduce water evaporation. Dig up the rhizomes with buds, cut them 7-10 cm long, cut them off and plant them. The holes are opened according to the plant spacing of 1.3 m ×1.7 m, the planting hole specification is 50 cm ×50 cm ×40 cm, one cluster is planted in each hole, the soil is covered and compacted, and the root fixing water is poured.

Seed propagation of Tsaoko

1. Seed collection and selection: harvest when the ripe fruit peel is purple in August and September, peel off the peel, wash the pulp, soak it in water for about 10 hours, then store it with wet sand, and select high-yield plants with large fruit grains, full seeds and no pests as seed collection plants.

2. Seed treatment: peel off the pericarp before sowing, wash the pulp, soak it in water for 10-12 hours, then rub it with coarse sand and seeds in bamboo dustpan to wipe off the aril, or mix the seeds with 30% plant ash, rub the seeds by hand, remove the surface colloid layer, and then sow or dry them until sowing in the spring of the following year.

Sowing time: sowing with harvest, spring and autumn, autumn sowing is better, spring sowing should be carried out when the temperature rises above 18℃, autumn sowing monthly average temperature is above 18-20℃, 1 month time, a large number of seeds germinate, germination rate can reach more than 80% after 40-50 days of sowing, and germination rate can reach more than 90% from December to February of the following year.

4. Sowing method: When sowing, ditch with row spacing of 15- 20cm on the ridge, plant spacing of about 6cm, sowing depth of 1.5- 2cm, covering soil and covering grass with water after sowing, and transplanting after half a year of seedling.
