How to breed Jinhuangxing

1. Branch cutting method

The genus Aster can be propagated by branch cuttings. It is recommended to do it in spring and autumn. Specifically, cut a strong branch with a length of about 10 cm, remove the leaves at the bottom, and leave the top. Apply wood ash on the wound and insert it into the substrate after it is treated. After planting, spray water to keep it moist, and it will take about half a month to take root.

2. Beheading

Beheading is also commonly used during reproduction. First, prepare a sterilized knife and cut the top part from the overgrown plant, making sure the wound is as flat as possible. After cutting, place it in a cool place to dry the wound, and then insert it into the soil.

3. Division method

The survival rate of division propagation is the highest, but it causes greater damage to the mother plant, and the mother plant can easily die if not handled properly. It is best to do it in spring and autumn. First, remove the plant from the pot, then separate the young plant with roots from the base of the mother plant, and disinfect it as soon as possible after separation. You also need to prepare suitable soil and ensure it is loose and breathable. After preparation, just plant them separately and they will soon grow into new plants.

4. Leaf cutting method

When propagating, you can also use leaves for cuttings. When picking leaves, be sure to pick them from the base of the plant to ensure they are complete and strong. After picking it, place it in a cool place to dry the wound, and then place it directly on the surface of the substrate. In the later stage, attention should be paid to temperature control. If the environment is suitable, the rooting rate will be relatively high.
