What are the propagation methods for Clerodendrum bungei? Detailed introduction

Clerodendrum bungei likes a sunny and moist environment and has strong adaptability, and it is widely distributed in China. Because the roots, stems and leaves of Clerodendrum bungei can all be used as medicine, its economic value is relatively high. Generally, Clerodendrum bungei can reproduce by self-sowing. If artificial propagation is desired, division or root cuttings can be used.

Clerodendrum bungei

Clerodendrum bungei is mainly propagated by division, and can also be propagated by root cuttings and sowing. For division, after the leaves fall in autumn and winter and before sprouting in spring, dig up the suckering shoots above ground and plant them separately. For root cuttings, in the plum rain season, cut off the horizontally creeping root suckers and insert them into sandy soil; they root 1-2 weeks after insertion. For sowing, collect seeds in September-October, store them in sand in winter, sow in the following spring, and they germinate 2-3 weeks after sowing.
