There are four ways of propagating sea buckthorn. Among them, sowing and propagation are mostly carried out in spring or autumn. After germination, the seeds are sown into the soil and watered thoroughly, and then wait for it to germinate. For propagation by cuttings in June, dip the bottom of the semi-lignified branches with indolebutyric acid and insert them into the soil. Grafting propagation usually takes place in March. Cut the bottom of the branch into a wedge shape, insert it into the incision of the rootstock and tie it up. Layering is mostly done in early spring. Girdle the base of the branches and bury them in the soil. Separate and transplant after taking root.

1. Sowing and propagation

Sewing is a commonly used propagation method for sea buckthorn. It is divided into spring sowing and autumn sowing. Before this, the seeds usually need to be soaked, which can increase the germination rate. Prepare loose and fertile soil, bury the seeds in it, and water thoroughly to promote rooting and germination. In order to increase the germination rate, multiple seedlings are often sown when sowing, and then thinned out after they grow.

2. Propagation by cuttings

Sea buckthorn Cuttings are mostly carried out in June. Select semi-lignified branches with a length between 7-10 cm. Remove the leaves below them and make the cuts flatter. Soak the bottom of it in indolebutyric acid solution for 12-24 hours to promote rooting of the branches. If the degree of lignification is relatively low, the soaking time can be shortened. Then use peat and sand as a substrate, insert the cuttings on it, and then water it to keep it moist.

3. Grafting Propagation

Sea Buckthorn Grafting is usually carried out in March, and split grafting is often used. The rootstock is mostly the root stock, and the thickness of the scion should be similar to that of the rootstock, which makes it easier for the two to heal. Scions are generally made from 2-3 year old branches. Cut them into 5 cm segments, and cut the lower part into a wedge shape. Insert it into the cut of the rootstock. After ensuring that the two fit well, tie it with a plastic tape. Can.

4. Layering Propagation

Sea Buckthorn Layering should be carried out in early spring before the buds sprout. Cut a two-year-old branch with a length of about 15 cm. Girdle the base of the branch, then pull the branch down, bury the girdling area in the soil, and wait for it to take root and sprout. After taking root, it can be separated from the mother plant.
