1. Sowing seeds

Sowing is suitable for planting cloves in a large area, which is generally used to obtain a large number of saplings. Cloves are generally sown in spring, when the temperature is suitable for seed germination. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in water for 1-2 days to ensure the germination rate. first, soak the seeds in water for 1-2 days, wait for them to absorb enough water, remove them, and then bury them in wet sand to keep the sandy soil moist. Sowing can be done after a week. When sowing, the soil should not be too deep, 1-1.5cm is appropriate, and if the temperature is too low after sowing, heat preservation measures should be taken to cover straw or plastic film. It will sprout after sowing for one month. Remember to remove the mulch, remove the weak seedlings after emergence, cultivate strong seedlings, and strengthen field management, such as weeding, watering, fertilization, and so on.

2. Cuttage

The cutting method is generally used for small-scale planting, and the cutting time is generally carried out one month after the flower blossom. the strong and disease-free plant is selected as the mother plant, and the sturdy branches of the mother plant are selected as cuttings. In choosing a place where the soil is fertile and loose, the cuttings are inserted directly into the soil to slowly take root and form new seedlings. In order to improve the rooting rate when cutting, rooting agents can be applied to the wound. After cutting, the temperature should be controlled at 22-25 degrees, and the soil moisture should be kept at 30-40%. It can take root in about 30-40 days, and can be planted when the root system becomes yellowish brown.

3. Grafting

Grafting is generally in order to improve the superiority of varieties, usually use the method of bud grafting, cuttings select the leaf buds of current branches, rootstocks choose 1-2-year-old clove trees. Cut the bottom of the leaf bud into a wedge, cut across the 5cm from the rootstock, then cut vertically at the cut to form a T shape, then insert the cuttings into the T character, let them be closely connected, and then wrap them with plastic film. 15-20 days after budding, the petiole on the scion will fall off naturally, and the plastic film can be removed.

4. Ramet

The ramets of cloves are divided buds. Every time in early spring or late autumn, the roots of the plant will grow small buds. We can dig out these small buds and then find another place to replant them, while in autumn, we need pseudo-planting after overwintering and planting in spring.
