What are the latest propagation methods for Schisandra chinensis?

Schisandra chinensis is a medicinal plant. Once it reaches maturity, it can be used as medicine. The fruit of Schisandra chinensis is dried by oven-drying or other means into dried fruit, after which it can be used medicinally. Many friends who have taken traditional Chinese medicine know that Schisandra chinensis is an herb found in many formulas. Its medicinal effects are excellent, and when eaten together with qiongzhen lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum), it can help treat insomnia. There are many methods for growing Schisandra chinensis online, and the editor has summarized them. What we are going to discuss below is how to propagate Schisandra chinensis. Let's take a look together!

There are mainly three propagation methods for Schisandra chinensis: seed propagation, layering propagation and cutting propagation. Let's look at them one by one.

1. Cutting propagation

For cutting propagation, you only need to select vigorous seedlings of the current year and cut them, cutting them to a length of about 10 cm. Then, after the wounds have air-dried, plant them at a spacing of 10 cm. Pay attention to watering regularly.

2. Layering propagation

In early spring, select some branches of the plants and bury them in the soil, water frequently, and keep the soil half-dry and half-moist. By the early spring of the following year, they can be cut from the mother plant and transplanted.

3. Seed propagation

1. The best harvest season for Schisandra chinensis is autumn, so in autumn we should select ears of Schisandra chinensis. Keep some fruit ears that are relatively large, growing well, and similar in size as seeds, then dry these selected high-quality seeds. Apart from methods such as roasting over fire and frying in a pan, any other drying method can be used. Sun-drying or drying in the shade is best, and then the dried seeds should be stored in a dry place.

2. The seed coat of Schisandra chinensis seeds is relatively hard, and the surface is relatively smooth, and the surface has a relatively thick oil layer. A seed coat of this quality does not have strong water permeability, so the seeds cannot be planted directly. We must treat the seeds first so that they can germinate. In February, soak the seeds in warm water for 3-5 days to soften them, then rub off the fruit flesh, select the plumpest seeds, mix them with wet sand, and bury them in a 70 cm pit. Wait until the seeds crack and the radicle is exposed, then sow.

3. The planting site can be chosen in relatively fertile soil or humus soil, and land where ginseng has been grown can also be used. After setting the planting spacing, sow. After sowing, pay attention to later topdressing and watering, and the field should be weeded frequently.

That is how to propagate Schisandra chinensis. Have you all learned it? All three methods are very simple. For generally standard planting, it is best to use the third method, seed propagation, as it is more reliable and has a higher survival rate.
