Propagation methods of gynostemma pentaphyllum

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a kind of medicine, and it is also made into gynostemma pentaphyllum dragon beard tea by many people. this kind of tea is also very popular in the market. Gynostemma pentaphyllum has a large planting area in the south of China, gynostemma pentaphyllum is also suitable for planting, and the survival rate and yield are relatively high. But now some friends want to plant gynostemma pentaphyllum but do not know how to reproduce, so the editor brought you the reproduction of gynostemma pentaphyllum today, let's take a look!

1. Seed propagation

Seed propagation is the most common propagation method of gynostemma pentaphyllum. Normally, the fruit of gynostemma pentaphyllum begins to mature from October to November. After maturity, harvest the seeds, remove the pericarp, pick out the dried seeds, and then store them in a cool and ventilated place to prevent moisture from causing the seeds to rot. In the second year, Ching Ming Festival can sow seeds before and after sowing, and seed soaking, disinfection and germination should be done well before sowing. Control the sowing rate, prevent the late growth from being too dense, cover the fine soil after sowing, and build a greenhouse to prevent direct sunlight. Observe the weather changes before budding, watering at least once a day to ensure that the soil of the nursery bed is moist, when about 80% of the seedlings are unearthed and the mulch is opened. Then spray carbendazim and other agents to control diseases, seedlings grow to about 10 cm can be timely transplanting.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is the main propagation method for old growers to expand the planting area, first of all, choose the stout rattan stem or rhizome without disease. Then cut it into 4-5 segments, control the cutting density and put it into the planting hole. After the success of cutting and seed reproduction, it is necessary to build a shed immediately, because gynostemma pentaphyllum is very afraid of direct sunlight, so we must do a good job of shading. Then regular watering can ensure sufficient soil moisture and promote the rooting of cutting branches. When most of the branches take root and grow to about 15 cm from January to February, they can be transplanted to the field.

3. Rhizome propagation

Rhizome propagation is also the last propagation method of gynostemma pentaphyllum, and rhizome propagation has certain requirements for time. Usually around the Beginning of Spring or around mid-September, first dig out the rhizome of the harvested plant, like cutting propagation, cut it into small segments of about 4-6 cm, and then control the planting density in the 35cm*45cm or so to dig a good planting hole. Place 1-2 segments in each planting hole, covering 2-3 cm of fine soil. After successful planting, enough water was poured to increase soil water content and promote rooting and seedling emergence.

The above three are the main reproduction methods of gynostemma pentaphyllum, and the reproduction of gynostemma pentaphyllum is mainly seed reproduction, because the germination rate of seed reproduction is very high, as long as the seeds are fresh enough, the germination rate can be as high as 95%. However, after germination, we still need to do a good job in field management, so as to ensure the survival rate of seedlings and increase yield.
