Detailed Introduction to the Latest Propagation Methods of Gambir Vine
Gambir vine is a Chinese medicinal herb with a relatively long history of use in our country, and it has a fairly wide distribution range in China. The main medicinal part is the stem nodes. Gambir vine has sedative and blood pressure-lowering effects, and its market demand in China is relatively large. Now the planting area is also gradually expanding, so when planting gambir vine, how should it be propagated? Below, the editor brings you the propagation methods of gambir vine, let's take a look!
1. Division propagation
The root growth ability of the gambir vine plant is relatively strong. Moreover, the upper part of the gambir vine root also has the habit of sprouting, though the number is relatively small. But it also lays the foundation for division propagation. When carrying out division propagation, we first need to select robust-growing gambir vine plants with dense root clusters and no pests or diseases as the mother plants. Then, near the plant, properly dig open a wound on the root, but do not dig it off, and then carry out the work of covering with soil. This promotes the root to produce adventitious buds and send out new branches. Strengthen management. When the new branches emerge from the soil after about one year, use a sharp knife to cut off the new plant with roots, and use it as a seedling for field planting.
2. Cutting propagation
The time for cutting propagation is generally chosen around March each year. First, choose a place with sufficient fertility and water sources, good drainage and irrigation, and sufficient sunlight as the seedbed. Then control the plant and row spacing, raise beds and make ridges, and the seedbed must be ensured to have good permeability, and clear the cutting crops and weeds on the seedbed. Then select thick, healthy branches as the cutting branches. Control the plant and row spacing for cutting, and keep about 1/3 of the cutting part above the ground. It must not be too deep or too shallow, otherwise both will affect growth. Keep the cuttings at a certain angle to the ground, water thoroughly after cutting, and do a good job of shading.
3. Seed propagation
Before sowing, first expose the fruit to the sun for 1-2 days, then take the seeds out of the fruit, wrap them in cloth, and soak them in warm water at about 52 degrees for about 5 hours. This promotes the seeds to absorb water. After soaking, stir the seeds with plant ash to disinfect them and break the seed dormancy period. Then sow in March to April, and the sowing method is mainly broadcasting. Evenly scatter the seeds all over the seedbed, then stir the seeds so that the seeds fall into the gaps in the seedbed, and then water appropriately, trying not to cover with soil, because the seed's ability to push through the soil is relatively poor. Strengthen management to increase the seed germination rate.
The above is a brief introduction to the propagation methods of gambir vine. There are many propagation methods for gambir vine. When propagating, we should mainly choose suitable propagation methods according to planting habits, region and planting direction, so as to improve planting benefits. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
