2. Cuttage

Hardwood cuttings and twigs cuttings can be used. Take semi-lignified branches in June and July, cut them into 10 to 12 cm long, leave leaves at the upper end, insert them in sand or gravel, keep humidity at about 90%, temperature about 25 ℃, and take root in 20 days. Combined with pruning in autumn, fully developed and well-growing branches are selected as cuttings, which are inserted in sand or gravel, and can be transplanted out of the shed in the following spring.

4. Striping propagation

Striping propagation is to peel the woody branches of Berberis amurensis at each 15cm in May, with a width of 0.50~1cm, and then apply it to the ring with naphthalene acetic acid solution, and then bury the branch in the soil. At the same time, the upper part of the branch (no lignified shoot) to ensure the photosynthesis of the whole purple leaf Berberis. It is also necessary to ensure that the soil is moist, small roots will be found in about 2 months, and then the mother will be separated and the seedlings will be cultivated according to the normal row spacing.

Propagation methods of Berberis amurensis
