Propagation methods of Ophiopogon japonicus

Ophiopogon japonicus is propagated by ramets. In April, when Ophiopogon japonicus was harvested, the clumps of Ophiopogon japonicus with strong growth, many root tubers and no diseases and insect pests were selected for seed use. Take off the tuber root, cut off the fibrous root, and then cut off the stem node of the lower part of the rhizome with a knife, leaving only 2-3 cm long stem node, with white cross-section of the rhizome, the leaves should not be scattered, and the rhizome should not be kept too long when cutting, otherwise more double stem nodes will be formed after planting, and the root tuber will grow less. In order to reduce water evaporation, the top of the leaf should be cut off, leaving only about 6 centimeters long. Peel off the individual plant, remove the old and tender seedlings, tie them into small handfuls, and then plant them. If the seedlings cannot be planted in time, the seedlings can be put into a wooden basin and soaked in water for 2 to 3 hours. after they have absorbed enough water, they are concentrated and pseudo-planted in the sandy soil, covered with soil, and sheltered from the sun, or placed in a shady place. Drenched in water once every other day, this is called raising seedlings. However, raising seedlings usually lasts for 7 to 12 days, and the long time will affect the survival.
