Propagation methods of asparagus

1. Ramet propagation

This method is suitable for plants that have grown for 2 to 3 years. The specific operation is as follows: first, detach it 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 a small plant, 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. Cuttage propagation

This method can be done at all times of the year, but it is not easy to survive if the temperature is too low. The temperature requirement for this method is between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

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 about 2 centimeters, and wrap strips of cloth on the outside. Then put it in a large basin and fill it with dirt.

3. Sowing and reproduction

In this way, mature seeds should be collected first. When the outer skin of the seed is soft and blackened, it means that it is ripe. 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 3 centimeters and put 3 seeds in each hole. Then cover it with a thin layer of soil, usually 5 centimeters. After planting, it should be watered thoroughly and covered with plastic wrap to keep it moist. The temperature should be about 25 degrees Celsius.
