How to propagate Lespedeza

Seed propagation method:

Seed selection and processing:

Select relatively complete and full seeds and place them in water at 50 to 60 degrees. After 24 hours, the seeds will swell. If there are seeds that have not swelled, continue to soak them until all the seeds have swelled. Then place them in an environment with a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees to germinate. Alternatively, you can soak the seeds in 30-degree water for 24 hours, take them out and place them in relatively moist sand, and they will germinate in 50 to 60 days.

Sowing time:

Spring or autumn. However, if sowing is done in autumn, you can directly sow the seeds, but if it is done in spring, you must first process the seeds as mentioned above.

Planting method:

It is recommended to plant only one plant in a flowerpot. After planting, cover it with a 1 cm thick layer of soil. Note that weeds should be cleaned up in time if they grow. After the seedlings emerge, the soil should be loosened. Fertilize 1 to 2 times during the growth period of the seedlings.

Cutting propagation method:

Choose a trunk that is 2 to 3 years old, preferably with a diameter of about 1 cm, and cut it into 15 to 20 cm long pieces. Cuttings can be made in spring or autumn, but in autumn they should be cut and cut at the same time, while in spring the cuttings should be buried in the sand first and then taken out and soaked in water for 2 days in March or April of the following year before cuttings can be made.
