How to reproduce Chang Shan?

The general propagation methods of Chang Shan are cuttings and seeds.
Chang Shan cuttings
Cuttings selection
Generally, before the sap flow in spring, select strong, disease-free Changshan branches and cut cuttings of 17-20 cm long, each with three bud nodes. The plugs can be buried with wet sand if they are not finished planting on the same day.
Treatment of cuttings
Before cutting, Chang Shan cuttings should be treated, usually with 150 mg/l of ABT1 No. 1 rooting powder to treat the base for 6 hours, or with the same drug at a concentration of 25-50 mg/l soaked for 24 hours, and then cuttings.
Cutting method
When cuttings are made in the border, dig a hole at a distance of 33 cm from the row, the hole depth of 20 cm, each hole with 3 plugs, and together, slightly inclined inserted in the hole, cover the soil, pressed, and then covered with loose soil and the border flat. If the soil is dry, it should be drenched with water after insertion.
Sowing seeds
Seed selection and seed treatment
The mature fruits of plants over 3 years old are selected, mixed with wet sand for storage, and the seeds are pulled out and washed before sowing the following year.
Sowing method
Generally, seeds are sown in mid to late March. Mix the seeds with 60 times of fine soil and spread evenly on the bed. After sowing, mulch the soil to suppress and cover with grass to keep the soil moist. During the seedling stage, a simple shade house with 30-40% light transmission and enhanced fertilizer and water management is required, with a seed sowing rate of 9 kg per hectare.
Cultivation techniques of Chang Shan

Land selection and preparation
Land selection
Chang Shan should be cultivated in a sandy loam soil with fertile and loose soil and good drainage.
Land preparation
Before tilling, apply 30,000-3,500 kg of well-rotted stable fertilizer or compost per hectare to the cuttings, turn them into the soil, break up the soil after turning, remove all the grass roots and stones, and then make a border; apply 22,500 kg of animal and human manure and water per hectare to the sowing ground, plus 750 kg of well-rotted oil-waste cake. Scatter it evenly on the ground and turn it shallowly once to make the soil and fertilizer mix evenly, then make a border. Generally, the border width is 120 cm, the ditch width is 30 cm, the border height is about 15 cm, the border is tile-back shaped, and the drainage ditch is opened around to facilitate drainage.
Planting management
Transplanting and planting
After 2 years of cultivation, planting of Changshan can be done. The spacing between planting rows and plants is about 30 cm x 30 cm.
Mid-tillage and weeding
After the seedlings are transplanted in spring, select a sunny day to loosen the soil and weed in time. Loose soil should be shallow rather than deep to avoid harming the root system of seedlings, hoeing the topsoil loose to let the sun shine, which can improve the ground temperature and promote the growth of seedling roots. Generally, weeding 4 times a year, respectively in April, June, August and November.
Fertilization
Direct cuttings and seedlings after planting before sealing, and combined with weeding, fertilization 3-4 times a year, fertilizer to animal and human manure, urea, cake fertilizer, soil fertilizer. The flowers and fruits are removed during the flowering and fruiting period, which can promote plant growth.
Drainage
The soil is too sticky and wet, which can lead to root rot and death, while the soil is too dry and prone to water loss and death. Therefore, in the winter combined with fertilization and cultivation of soil to clear the ditch, weeding by tillage, a small amount of supplemental fertilizer, and then deepen the field ditch system, so that drainage is smooth, and the field is not waterlogged after heavy rain. In case of drought, irrigation should be carried out in time to prevent seedlings from dying, and irrigation is appropriate to moisten the soil. Weeding should be mastered when the soil is dry, usually should often clear the ditch drainage, to maintain the soil suitable humidity.
