What are the propagation methods for Euodia rutaecarpa? Read this article to find out

Euodia rutaecarpa is a plant in the Rutaceae family and is not the same thing as Cornus officinalis, but many people often assume that Euodia rutaecarpa and Cornus officinalis are the same plant, which is a mistaken conclusion. Euodia rutaecarpa is mainly used for deficiency cold of the liver and stomach, as well as for pain relief, analgesia, and expelling roundworms. So how is Euodia rutaecarpa usually propagated? Let us learn about it together below.

1. Seed propagation

Seed propagation of Euodia rutaecarpa is actually very rare in current production and cultivation. First, the seeds of Euodia rutaecarpa are not very easy to collect; second, the germination rate of Euodia rutaecarpa seeds is not very good, and the growth rate is very slow, requiring more effort. However, if you must sow 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

Root cutting propagation of Euodia rutaecarpa generally requires selecting a single plant that is four years old or more than four years old, with a well-developed root system, vigorous growth, robustness, no pests or diseases, no mechanical damage, and good 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 small sections obliquely into the seedbed for cultivation. Finally, pour a round of manure and urine water into the seedbed, cover with straw or plastic film, and wait for seedlings to emerge later.

3. Branch cutting propagation

Branch cutting propagation is a method of propagation using healthy, pest- and disease-free branches of a superior variety from one-year-old or two-year-old Euodia rutaecarpa. Branch cutting is best done 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 an appropriate 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 generally involves treating Euodia rutaecarpa by tillering in winter, that is, digging out the lateral roots of Euodia rutaecarpa, then cutting the root bark every about 10 cm, applying fertilizer, and finally covering with a layer of straw or dried grass. By the following spring, many root tiller seedlings will grow at the cuts. At this time, we only need to remove the covering above.
