Cultivation techniques with cutting, seeding and reproductive ramets. Usually use more cuttings, sowing in the first 3-4 years of friends, fall in August inserted, selected two blunt sticks, cut into 15cm long cuttings, ramp into the sand bed 2 / 3, moisture, and closed with a plastic shed, shade . With softwood cuttings in summer from May to July, to maintain the temperature and shade, and proper ventilation, remove the shed, after rooting, shade retention. Planting, seed collection in April, after stacking cooked, cleaned seed, dry seed can be mixed with sand or laminated, put cellar storage, the next spring. Gallant moisture after sowing, germination unearthed about a month to water the grass moisture, autumn cold, will stay in bed for one year transplant. Ramets, before germination in spring, dig into the roots of seedlings sprout seedlings, transplanting with soil.
Field management in March-April for transplanting seedlings, transplanting erection of shade and moisture, fertilizer 4-5 times a year to recover. To set up greenhouses planted winter.
