How to propagate Polygonum multiflorum and precautions

Polygonum multiflorum reproduction method

The ways of propagating Polygonum multiflorum include seed propagation, cutting propagation, layering propagation and block propagation. Its seeds can also be propagated. Generally speaking, cutting propagation is the fastest.

Polygonum multiflorum breeding time

If Polygonum multiflorum is propagated by cuttings, it is generally more appropriate to do it in the spring of March to early April or the rainy season of June to July each year. It is best to do it on a rainy day as the survival rate is higher.

Polygonum multiflorum propagation method

Propagation of Polygonum multiflorum by division

Usually, the tiller seedlings near the rhizosphere of Polygonum multiflorum are dug out before budding in spring. It is necessary to choose stems with buds and plants with good fibrous root growth. Then wait until the wounds are dry before digging holes for planting.

Cutting propagation of Polygonum multiflorum

Choose healthy and disease-free Polygonum multiflorum stems and vines as cuttings, with a length of about 25 cm. Each cutting should have more than 2 nodes. Insert the buds of the branches diagonally upwards, two-thirds into the soil, cover with soil and compact it, water it, and it will take root in about 10 days.

Polygonum multiflorum seed propagation

The sowing propagation of Polygonum multiflorum is usually carried out in March and April. The sowing method is row sowing. After sowing, cover with a thin layer of soil, about 1-2 cm. With proper maintenance, seedlings will emerge about 15 days after sowing.

Precautions for breeding of Polygonum multiflorum

The best time to sow and propagate Polygonum multiflorum is in March and April, when the temperature is stable at around 15℃. Its seeds are very small, so they should be evenly placed in the soil. During this period, the soil should be kept moist to ensure that the seeds have enough moisture to germinate.
