How does Agrimony propagate? The latest propagation techniques and methods tutorial
Agrimony is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Agrimonia in the Rosaceae family, also known as dragon's tooth grass, wolf's tooth grass, golden-top dragon's tooth, mountain kun cai, etc. It often grows by streams, roadsides, grasslands, thickets, forest edges and under open woods. Its producing areas are mainly located in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei and other places. The propagation methods include seed sowing propagation and division propagation. Let's take a look at the propagation techniques of agrimony together!
Growth habits of agrimony
Agrimony prefers a warm and humid environment. The suitable growth temperature is 20-30°C. It has no strict requirements for soil, but deep soil with loose, fertile sandy loam is best. For planting, seeds or root division are used for propagation. For spring sowing, in the south it is late March, and in the north it is mid-April or late April. For autumn sowing, in the south it is from late September to early October, and in the north it is from late October to early November before the ground freezes. Root division propagation can be carried out in both spring and autumn.
Seed sowing propagation of agrimony
Seed sowing propagation of agrimony can be done in spring or autumn. For spring sowing, in the north it is mid- to late April, and for autumn sowing it is carried out in late October before the ground freezes. When sowing, open sowing furrows 1-2 cm deep at a row spacing of 30-35 cm. For autumn sowing, spread the seeds evenly into the furrows, cover with thin soil, press lightly, and water promptly after sowing. The seed rate per mu is 1-1.5 kg.
Division propagation of agrimony
Division propagation of agrimony can be carried out in both spring and autumn. Dig out the roots and split them. Each root must have 2-3 root buds and be planted promptly. For hole planting, use a hole spacing of 30*15 cm and dig holes 15 cm deep, plant 1 root per hole, cover with 5 cm of soil and press firm. If it has already sprouted, expose the buds above the soil surface when planting, and water after planting.
