Propagation methods of Schisandra chinensis

The method of reproduction. In addition to seed reproduction, wild Schisandra chinensis mainly propagates by walking stems underground. In artificial cultivation, the methods of cutting, striping and seed propagation are often used, but it is difficult to take root and it is not as good as seed propagation. The method of seed propagation is simple and easy, and a large number of seedlings can be obtained in a short time.

1. Seed selection: the seeds of Schisandra chinensis should be selected during autumn harvest, and the ears with large and uniform fruit grains should be left for seed, dried and kept separately. Do not roast, bake or stir-fry when dry. It can be dried in the sun or shade and stored in a ventilated and dry place.

2. Seed treatment: ⑴ outdoor treatment. Before freezing, soak the fruit selected for seed use in water until the pulp rises to remove the pulp. Schisandra chinensis has a lot of blighted grains. The seed emergence rate is about 60%, and the blighted grains floating on the water can be removed while rubbing the pulp. After rubbing off the pulp, the seeds are soaked in clean water for 5-7 days, so that the seeds fully absorb water, change the water every two days, and remove part of the blighted grains when changing the water. After soaking, remove the controlled dry and mix it with 2-3 times the wet sand of the seed, put it into a pit about 0.5 meters deep prepared outdoors, cover with 10-15 cm fine soil, and then cover with firewood or straw curtains for low temperature treatment. The seeds can be sown in May-June of the following year. The treatment site should be highly dry so as not to soak the seeds. ⑵ indoor processing. In late February, the seeds were moved into the room to remove the pulp, mixed with wet sand and packed into a wooden box for sand storage treatment, the temperature could be kept between 5-15 ℃, and the seeds could be sown in the next spring.
