Most medicinal materials such as ginseng, Panax notoginseng, and Angelica sinensis can be propagated by sowing, while Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc. can be propagated by cuttings. The time for sowing is mostly in spring. Select suitable seeds, sow them into the soil, cover them with soil, water them, and wait for germination. For cuttings, you need to cut appropriate branches, keep a few leaves, insert them into the soil, and transplant and maintain them after they sprout.

1. Planting time

There are many kinds of precious medicinal materials, and the planting time should be determined according to the plant itself. For example, ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc. are suitable for spring breeding, generally from March to April. Panax notoginseng needs winter to breed, and October-November is better. There are also flowers like Angelica sinensis, which do not have high requirements on planting time and can be planted in spring, autumn and winter.

2. Planting methods

1 , Sowing method: All kinds of valuable medicinal materials can be propagated by sowing method, such as ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry and Angelica sinensis, etc. First, choose plump and mature seeds, which can greatly increase the survival rate. The second is the requirement for the substrate. Generally, loose, fertile and well-drained soil is more suitable for plant growth. When sowing in spring, it should not be too deep and can be covered with fine soil. If sowing in winter, keep them warm to prevent the seeds from freezing to death after they germinate. After taking root and sprouting for a period of time, it can basically be maintained normally. Depending on its habits, determine the amount of watering or fertilizing.

2. Cutting method: The cutting method is only suitable for some plants with relatively strong vitality. Strong plants, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc. Cut a strong branch, usually with a few leaves. The length depends on the plant. For example, ginseng branches should be controlled within 8 centimeters, while Polygonum multiflorum should be 25 centimeters, and wolfberry should be about 20 centimeters. Then insert the branch one-third to one-half of the way into the soil and compact the soil. If it is ginseng and wolfberry, there is no need to fertilize immediately, but Polygonum multiflorum can be appropriately fertilized with a little fertilizer.
