Propagation method: Illicium verum is mainly propagated by cutting or sowing. Plum rain season is the most suitable time for cutting. Take small lateral branches sprouting from the stem base with a length of about 10cm and plant them in sand or vermiculite. Pay attention to shading and moisturizing, and they can take root in half a month. Seeds can be sown, harvested and cleaned in May, and seedlings can emerge half a month after sowing. The seedlings are very suitable for potted plants.
