Propagation methods of Rabdosia angustifolia

Xihuang grass is a perennial herb, is a folk herb, commonly known as soil yellow lotus, with the efficacy of clearing heat and dampness, removing dampness, cooling blood and dispersing blood stasis, and can treat acute icteric hepatitis, acute cholecystitis, enteritis and other diseases. So do you know how Xihuang grass propagates? Let's take a look.

1. Seed propagation

Seed propagation is not only a common way to sow, but also to pick the ripe fruit in autumn, remove the pulp, and set aside the seeds. Generally, the sowing time is when Rain Water is sufficient in spring and the temperature rises, preferably around the Qingming Festival. Sowing or strip sowing can be used. When sowing, stir the seeds and fine sand at the ratio of 1:5-6, spread them evenly on the land, then cover with a layer of fine soil, and then cover the soil with grass to keep warm and moisturize. Strip sowing should be ditched on the ground, the seeds should be evenly scattered into the ditch, watered in the covered soil, and the water should be poured thoroughly. Seedling emergence should be combined with ploughing and weeding and applying thin fertilizer and water for 1-2 times to promote the growth of seedlings. When the seedlings grow 8-10 true leaves, they can be transplanted and planted.

2. Cuttage propagation

Generally select twigs for cutting, cuttings can choose to stay in the field or field to cut the branches on the strong plant, cut it into a length of 10-15 cm, leaving 3-4 nodes above. When cutting, cut off the basal leaves, leave 1-2 pairs of leaves at the top, and the lower end is wedge-shaped. Soaking the cut cuttings with rooting powder for 5-10 minutes can improve the survival rate. Insert the cuttings obliquely into the seedbed, expose 1/3 or 1/4 at the top, cover the soil with compaction, pour water after cutting, and then build a sunshade net to keep the soil moist, and root after about a week. It can be transplanted in half a month.

3. Ramet propagation

Ramet propagation means that the stolon rhizomes harvested in the same year are concentrated and densely planted as a seed land to prevent cold and moisturize so that they can survive the winter safely. After the spring of next year, a lot of new seedlings with tillers will grow on these creeping rhizomes, which can be replanted after separating them from their mother plants.
