A Complete Analysis of the Latest Propagation Methods for Euodia rutaecarpa

Euodia rutaecarpa is a plant in the Rutaceae family and is not the same thing as Cornus officinalis, but many people often think that Euodia rutaecarpa and Cornus officinalis are the same species, which is a wrong conclusion. Euodia rutaecarpa is mainly used for deficiency cold of the liver and stomach and for pain relief, analgesia, expelling roundworms, and so on. So how is Euodia rutaecarpa usually propagated? Let's find out together below.

1. Seed propagation

Seed propagation of Euodia rutaecarpa is actually very rare in current production and cultivation. First of all, the seeds of Euodia rutaecarpa are not very easy to collect; secondly, the germination rate of Euodia rutaecarpa seeds is not very good, and the growth speed is very slow, requiring more effort. However, if you insist on sowing seeds, it is not impossible. We need to purchase good seeds, then pre-germinate the seeds before raising seedlings, so as to ensure the seedling emergence rate of Euodia rutaecarpa.

2. Root cutting propagation

For root cutting propagation of Euodia rutaecarpa, it is generally necessary to select a single plant that is four years old or more than four years old, has a well-developed root system, grows vigorously, is robust, free of pests and diseases, free of mechanical damage, and of excellent quality as the mother plant for propagation. Dig out the selected mother plant, cut the lateral roots into small sections about 15 cm long, then insert the prepared sections obliquely into the seedbed for cultivation. Finally, pour a round of manure and urine water into the seedbed, cover with rice straw or plastic film, and wait for seedlings to emerge later.

3. Branch cutting propagation

Branch cutting propagation is a method of using robust, pest- and disease-free branches of excellent varieties from one-year-old or two-year-old Euodia rutaecarpa for propagation. Branch cutting is best carried out in February, when the survival rate will be much higher. Cut the selected branches into small sections about 20 cm long, then soak the branches in rooting solution to promote rooting. After ten minutes, take them out, then insert them obliquely into the seedbed at a suitable density and water once.

4. Tillering propagation

Tillering propagation of Euodia rutaecarpa is very simple and much easier than that of some other medicinal materials. However, tillering propagation is generally carried out on Euodia rutaecarpa in winter, that is, dig out the lateral roots of Euodia rutaecarpa, then cut the root epidermis every about 10 cm, apply fertilizer, and finally cover with a layer of rice straw or dry grass. By the following spring, many root-tiller seedlings will grow at the wounds. At this time, we only need to remove the covering above.
