How to Propagate Pinellia? Detailed Explanation of Key Points on Pinellia Propagation Techniques
Pinellia propagation is mainly done through tubers and bulbils, and can also be done by seed, but the seed germination rate is not high and the production cycle is long, so it is generally not used. 1. Tuber propagation: After Pinellia has been cultivated for 2-3 years, the underground tubers can be dug out after the plants wither in June, August, and October each year. Select small tubers with a transverse diameter of 0.5-1 cm, vigorous growth, and no pests or diseases for use as seed. Mix the seed tubers with fine sandy soil of moderate moisture and store them in a ventilated and cool place, then take them out for planting in the same winter or the following spring. Spring planting is preferable, while D autumn and winter planting yields
