How to breed horseshoe gold

Seed propagation of Dichondra chinensis

The sowing and propagation of Dichondra divaricata can be done in spring or autumn. The best time for spring sowing is April to May, and the best time for autumn sowing is September to October, but the best time is still spring.

The best temperature for sowing and propagation of Dichondra divaricata is 21℃. Soak the seeds for 4 hours before sowing for better results. Before sowing the water chestnut, the seedbed must be prepared, the soil must be disinfected in advance, and it must be watered thoroughly. Sow the treated seeds in rows or scatter them on the prepared seedbed, then cover them with about 1-2 cm of soil and cover them with straw mats. This can maintain the temperature and humidity for germination, promote uniform emergence of seedlings, and increase the emergence rate.

Pay attention to watering after sowing. Generally, it will germinate 7 to 10 days after sowing. However, since the pedicel of the Chinese horsetail plant is shorter than the petiole, it is not very convenient to collect the seeds.

Propagation of Dichondra chinensis by division

For the propagation of Dichondra diffusa by dividing the stolons, you can shovel up the runners of Dichondra diffusa with soil in April or May every year, separate the prepared Dichondra diffusa plants into small stolons for planting. When planting, plant at a spacing of 15-20cm. After determining the spacing between rows and plants, spread the divided horseshoe beetles on the soil, press it down, and then spray water.

Pay attention to watering and retaining moisture when planting the Horseshoe Bonsai, and remove weeds.

Other breeding methods of Dioscorea

The Chinese echinops can also be propagated by stem segments, mainly by its creeping stems. Choose a good nursery site and apply fertilizer and water, which can be done from March to September. Before planting the stem water chestnut, spread the turf on the bed, cover it with soil, compact it, and water it in time. Generally, after about 2 months of growth, the entire ground will be covered. Weeds must be removed in time during the growth period, usually 2-3 times.

The Chinese horsetail can also be propagated vegetatively, and can be planted in dry or water.
