Detailed Explanation of Goji Berry Cutting Propagation Methods and Steps

In spring, before the plant has sprouted, cut one-year-old branches, soak them and let them dry, then insert them into a 20 cm deep trench when planting, with the cuttings exposed 1 cm above the soil surface. Apply fertilizer regularly.

The main propagation method for goji berry is seed propagation, but cutting seedling propagation can also be used.

Seedling Propagation

For goji berry seed seedling propagation, first select the seeds. When selecting seeds, choose ones with large fruit and bright red color, and the fruit itself should be healthy and disease-free. After selection, soak them in water at about 34 degrees for 24 hours. After soaking, remove them and rinse with clean water, remove the flesh and skin, take out the seeds and dry them, then they are ready for sowing.

Next is sowing. Sowing can be done in any season except winter. Plant them in a trench about 3 cm deep. After sowing, turn the soil and keep it moist and warm.

Finally, seedling stage management. Water frequently to maintain soil moisture, which is good for seedling growth. During the growth period, weed and fertilize, and also pay attention to removing unhealthy weak seedlings, keeping only the strong ones. When the seedlings grow to 30 cm, remove the lateral buds at the base of the seedlings. When they reach about 60 cm, pinch off the tips to accelerate the growth of the main trunk.

Cutting Propagation

For goji berry cutting propagation, the most suitable period is in spring before the plant has sprouted. First, select plants with large and plump fruit

Next, cut one-year-old branches with a diameter of 0.5 cm and a length of about 20 cm, soak them, and let them dry. Then proceed with cutting.

Finally, when cutting, insert them into a 20 cm deep trench, with the cuttings exposed 1 cm above the soil surface. Pay attention to weeding, moisture retention, and regular fertilization. When they reach 80 cm, they can be lifted from the nursery and planted in place.
