Fernacea, formerly known as ginseng fruit, is a perennial herb of the Rosaceae family and Potentilla genus. The roots extend downward, sometimes forming a spindle-shaped or oval-shaped tuberous root below the root. There are two ways to propagate seedlings: one is seed propagation, which is sexual propagation; the other is cutting propagation, which is asexual propagation. Seed soil preparation and fertilization: Before sowing, prepare the land, make a border, apply sufficient base fertilizer, disinfect it, keep the soil moist, and sprinkle a layer of fine sand on the border surface. Seed selection: Good color, well-proportioned size, plump seeds, dry and mildew-free. Seed treatment: warm water seed soaking, drug seed dressing, etc. can be carried out to achieve the purpose of early emergence, uniform emergence, and strong seedlings. Wrap the soaked seeds in a gauze bag and provide appropriate temperature, moisture and air for germination. Sowing methods: broadcast, drill and on-demand. Because the seeds of ginseng fruit are small, broadcasting is often used. Sowing should be even, usually with a spacing of 5×7 or 7×7 (cm). Management after sowing: Spread a layer of fine sand on the border surface to cover the seeds. If the temperature is below 12°C, cover with mulch to maintain soil temperature and soil moisture. If the seedling bed is dry, spray fine water with water to facilitate germination. Do not use heavy water for irrigation. After the seedlings emerge, the mulch needs to be removed. To avoid exposure to the scorching sun, use a sunshade net.

During the seedling breeding period, low-concentration nitrogen fertilizer is generally sprayed every 10 days or so. At the same time, field management is strengthened to prevent and control pests and diseases to ensure the healthy growth of seedlings. Cutting: Propagating and raising seedlings by cutting is a simple method commonly used for ginseng fruit. That is, take the ginseng fruit stems, cut them into cuttings (cuttings), and insert them into the soil, allowing them to take root and germinate under suitable environmental conditions, and grow into strong plants independently.
