How to propagate Caragana

Reproduction method

Cuttings

Cutting propagation of Caragana can be carried out in February and March every year. You can use hard branch cuttings or soft branch cuttings during the rainy season. Select stronger branches, cut off a section 8 to 12 cm long, insert it into the soil, provide appropriate shade, water it, and wait for it to take root. When the cuttings of Caragana have taken root, allow them to receive sufficient light.

Division and layering

The division propagation of Caragana is carried out in February and March every year. Divide the plants into several clumps and plant them separately. You can divide them again after 3 years. The layering propagation of Caragana is carried out at the end of February. Press the branches of Caragana into the soil, and they will generally take root in August.

Seed propagation

sowing

When Caragana is propagated by sowing, in order to increase the germination rate, it is necessary to screen and identify the seeds, select full and healthy seeds for sowing, and eliminate seeds with pathogens and bacteria to prevent diseases and pests.

When Caragana is propagated by sowing, it is usually sown in large quantities. The seeds can be sown in a seedbed or directly in the open field, and can be directly sown even in flowing or semi-flowing sand.

Caragana is usually sown in June and July every year because the temperature and moisture in June and July are sufficient, which is suitable for the germination and growth of Caragana. When sowing, cover the seeds with soil and leave a certain distance between rows. In addition, pest and rodent control work is carried out regularly.

Precautions for seed propagation of Caragana

When sowing Caragana, it is best to sow the seeds immediately after harvesting. If they have been dried and stored, they should be soaked to germinate before sowing.

After sowing Caragana, the soil needs to maintain a certain humidity and not be too dry.
