Seeding method

Sowing can be carried out in late April in spring or early September in autumn. After the open seedbed is deeply turned and leveled, it is watered and watered. After all the water seeps into the ground, the seeds are evenly sown

When sowing, ensure to sow about 1000 seeds per square meter, control the temperature at about 22 ℃, and the seedlings can emerge in 13 to 15 days

When the seedlings grow two real leaves, they can be transplanted

Ramet method

Echinacea is a perennial herb. The perennial mother plant can be propagated separately in spring and autumn

Take out the roots of the mother plant from the ground, be careful not to hurt the new roots, remove part of the soil, and remove the old roots and diseased roots

Use a knife to isolate the mother plant from the rhizome, divide it into several plants evenly, keep 4-5 terminal buds on each plant, and then plant it into the prepared matrix

Cutting method

Large mother plants shall be prepared for cutting and seedling raising, which shall be moved into the greenhouse for maintenance in winter. Strong branches shall be taken in spring, and 2 to 4 true leaves shall be retained without growth points

The length of branches should be controlled within 5-6cm, and the shear opening should be under the node and inserted with cutting

The depth of cuttings is one-third to one-half of the length of cuttings. The seedbed of cuttings should not be too wet, but the air humidity of the surrounding environment should be high. If the ambient temperature is controlled at 22 ℃, it can take root in 20 to 30 days

Colonization

The seedlings of Echinacea appear three branches, which are about 10 cm high

Potting 15 × 13 cm nutrient bowl, 1 plant for each pot. The pot soil is one-third of agricultural fertilizer, garden soil and fine sand respectively. Mix and sift

After the seedlings are planted, the basin soil shall be compacted, poured with enough water, put in the shade, and move to the sunshine after 7-10 days to start normal growth
