III. How is the traditional Chinese medicine Rangoon creeper grown?

1. For growing the Rangoon creeper, you can choose seed sowing, division, cuttings or layering for propagation. If raising seedlings from seed, you should collect plump mature fruits in autumn and sow them as soon as they are collected, or store the collected seeds and sow them the following spring; when the seedling grows to 30 cm tall, it can be planted out; division is carried out in March; cuttings can be taken in February-March or September-October; layering is carried out in February-March.

2. Using cutting techniques, the Rangoon creeper can be planted out in mid-to-late February or during the rainy season. However, no matter which propagation method is used, after planting out it must be cultivated and weeded frequently, and topdressed 2-3 times each year; topdress once each around the time the Rangoon creeper buds and before and after fruit harvest.

3. If the Rangoon creeper is planted in large patches, a trellis must be set up for it to climb on. In addition, in winter, carry out earthing up and cover with weeds to protect against the cold and freezing; every year in early spring and at fruit harvest, prune the branches so that they are evenly distributed.

The Rangoon creeper generally flowers from May to October each year. If growing it in a pot, be sure to use a slightly acidic sandy loam with strong water retention and rich in humus. The above is all of Tuliu Network's editor's introduction to the Rangoon creeper, and I hope you like it.
