breeding method
Seed propagation: Before propagation, the shriveled grains and lean grains should be screened out, leaving solid grains. Seed propagation is generally carried out in February ~ March. Before sowing, the seeds should be soaked in warm water at 30℃ for 24 hours, then taken out, wrapped in wet cloth and placed in a greenhouse at 20℃. Seeds can be sown when they have bud eyes. Edelweiss seeds are very small, and its ability to top the soil is very poor. So sow the seeds by sowing. You can sow seeds by mixing them with fine sand.
Root-splitting propagation: annual plants can be selected to dig roots in early spring, then the roots are cut into small pieces 3-5 cm long for cutting, and finally the cuttings are buried in the seedbed. The planting depth is 0.5cm, and the plant spacing is 2cm× 3cm respectively.
