Seed propagation:
1. Aralia elata bud seeds mature in mid-September, and the cones are dark purple, which is easy to fall off when they are over-ripe. After harvesting, put it in a pot and knead it repeatedly by hand until the fruit is crushed, then wash off impurities such as peel and pulp with clear water, take out the seeds that have sunk to the bottom, and dry the surface moisture to sow.
2. Soil preparation and sowing select loam or sandy loam with deep and fertile soil layer and good irrigation and drainage conditions to raise seedlings. In mid-April, turn over the soil, fertilize, ridging, make a bed with a width of 1m and a length of 10m, and then do a good job of warming the film. Sowing can be done when the local temperature reaches 13. Use 1-2 Jin per mu and plant 1-2 cm thick fine soil, and suppress it. After the seedlings come out, they should be ventilated and exercised to prevent sunburn. After the true leaves grow, uncover the film, loosen the soil, weed and water them in time. Transplant 3 seedlings with true leaves according to the plant spacing of 20×40 cm, strengthen management and apply fertilizer in time.
3. After defoliation in autumn, before freezing, transplant the seedlings to the greenhouse or field with the spacing of 40×50 cm, and naturally sleep for 2 months after defoliation. You can buckle the shed to keep warm when painting. When the temperature is kept at about 20℃, the flower buds can be sold in about 45 days. Before and after the Spring Festival, the price per catty can reach more than 20 yuan. Manage the three harvestable buds, level the stubble in time after harvest and apply fertilizer appropriately, so as to lay a good foundation for increasing production next year.
Transplanting or cutting:
After thawing in spring, dig roots with a diameter of more than 5 mm for cultivation, plant them in a pre-dug pit with a depth of 45 cm according to the plant spacing of 45×50 cm, and water them after planting. After delayed emergence, the buds must be leveled to ensure a large number of rootstock seedlings to germinate and increase the annual output by 3-4 times. Cutting is to dig up the roots of Aralia elata with a diameter of more than 5 mm after thawing in spring, cut them into 20 cm root segments, and insert them on the ridge at an angle of 30 degrees, with the upper part exposed 1-2 cm. Then step on it, water it and manage it as before.
Direct budding method:
Two months after defoliation, cut off the lignified branches of the year, insert them into clean water, and change the water every 7 days, and 1 month can sprout and go on the market. I hope it helps you. Have a nice trip!
