Born at an altitude of 800-1200 meters in moist gully, shade or semi-shade, light, shade, cold tolerance; The soil requirements are not strict, can withstand barren soil, but it is best to grow deep, moist and humus rich soil, afraid of waterlogging. Strong germination, rapid growth. [2]

Propagation method

broadcast
EDITOR
Propagation methods include seed propagation, cutting propagation and layering propagation. [10 ]  

sow

The seeds can be harvested in September to October. After harvesting, the capsule can be dried, crushed, and the pure seeds can be obtained after wind cleaning. 1000-grain weight 0.3g, germination rate 50%.
Seed treatment (germination) Live or 1 week before sowing, soak the seed in cold water for 2-3 hours, take it out and put it indoors, and then seed it with wet cloth after germination. The effect is better.
Sowing should be carried out in no wind and no recent rainstorm weather, and the bed surface should be levelled and finished. The seeding method can be used to broadcast or drill on the bed, the sowing amount is 2g/ square meter, the thickness of the soil cover should not exceed 0.3cm, the bed surface should be kept moist within 30 days after sowing, and the seedlings should emerge in about 20 days.
Seedling management When the seedlings grow 3-4 whisky roots, the first thinning can be carried out, and the soil can be trimmed in time. The seedling yield is 200 plants/square meter, and the seedling height is 30-50cm. 1-2 years of seedlings can be planted in the nursery. [3]

cutting

The variation type of the flower should be raised by cutting method, the seed propagation is difficult to maintain the character of the variation. The practice in Heilongjiang Province is to cut the 1-2 year old branches without spunning in early April, cut the cuttings growing 10-12cm long, dip the cuttings with 2000mg/kg solution of α-naphthylene acetic acid and insert them into the sandy bed covered with film and shade in the open field, and put a layer of decomposed horse manure on the bottom of the sand bed to increase the ground temperature. The ground temperature is required to be 25-28 ° C, the air temperature is required to be 20-25 ° C, the air humidity in the shed is required to be 80%-90%, and the transmittance is required to be about 30%. It takes 50 to 60 days to take root, and the survival rate is about 80%. [3]
In addition, it can also be propagated by dividing and layering methods. [3]

layering

It is pressed into the soil during the growing season for layering propagation. Usually select the lower branches after the flower pressure, the lower branches are easy to crawl, the node is easy to take root and survive. Subdividing occurs in early spring and autumn and winter. More before and after the spring sprouting combined transplanting, the whole plant will be dug out, divided into several clusters, planted separately. It should be carried out in early and middle of April. After sowing, water should be watered by swelled irrigation method. Do not spray water to the soil surface with watering can to avoid flushing the seeds to the surface. Seedlings emerge about 15 days after sowing. However, the planting method has a longer growth period, and generally a small amount of breeding does not use this method. [4]

Cultivation technique

broadcast
EDITOR
It has strong adaptability, rich tillering and easy cultivation. The sandy loam with good drainage is selected as the seedling cultivation ground. The seedlings or cuttings of 1-2 years old can be planted in ridge to cultivate large seedlings, the plant distance is 50-60cm, and the stubble is 10-15cm above the ground after planting. When the seedling height is more than 100cm after 3 years of planting, it can be used for landscaping. [3]

fertilize

Pot pot can be mixed with 3 parts garden soil and 1 part rice chaff ash, plus a small amount of manure as a base fertilizer. When planting with decomposed compost as the base fertilizer, every two to three years in winter or early spring Quiescent stage Furrow the roots and apply fertilizer once. Fertilize 1-2 times a month during the growing season. [4]

water

Pay attention to watering during the growing season, and gradually increase the amount of watering after spring sprouting, and often keep the soil moist. In summer, high temperature and drought are easy to make the leaves yellow and dry and dry, so it is necessary to keep sufficient water and spray water to cool down or move to semi-yin moist place for maintenance. Water should be poured 1 to 2 times a month to meet the growth needs. [4]

prune

Because of the long growing period of the flower, the top sprigs are often not full before winter, and it is easy to dry out during winter. Therefore, every year before the spring sprout should be the top of the plant dry branches and other weak branches, disease branches cut off, and cut short long branches. If the seeds are not left, the residual flower branches should be cut off in time after the flower, so as not to consume too much nutrients and affect the growth. Branches that have been growing for 3 years should be cut off from the base to promote the robust growth of new branches. Since the new technology of its inflorescence is mostly germination on the 1-2 year old branches, it is not appropriate to prune the branches of the previous year in the spring, and generally only thin the dead branches.
