The common propagation methods of Datura stramonium mainly include sowing, cutting and layering. When sowing, the seeds should be soaked in warm water, then sown in the soil respectively, watered and moistened. When cutting, the lower ends of branches should be disinfected, the surrounding branches and leaves should be cut off, and then inserted into nutrient soil respectively.

Datura stramonium 1 sowing and propagation method

Sowing is the most commonly used reproductive method of Datura stramonium. The selected seeds are mainly washed and dried, soaked in warm water for several hours, and a proper amount of decomposed organic fertilizer is applied to the soil and fully stirred. The seeds are sown in the soil respectively, and the temperature is controlled above 65438 05℃, and they can germinate in about 2-3 weeks.

Step 2 cut

Cutting is a common method of Datura stramonium propagation, which is mainly carried out in winter and spring. First, use healthy lignified branches as cuttings and cut them into about 10 cm. The branches and leaves at the base should be cut off and inserted directly into the soil. After watering every day, keep the substrate moist and germinate for about 3 ~ 4 weeks.

3, layering

Datura stramonium mainly uses branches close to the ground as materials when it is propagated by layering. The lignified branches at the top can be cut into rings, and the epidermis at the top can be cut off and directly inserted into the soil. After the wound is covered with film, it can be fixed with heavy objects, and the substrate can be kept moist frequently. After the new buds grow, the branches can be cut short.

4. Preventive measures

Because Datura stramonium is a poisonous plant, its juice contains an alkaloid harmful to human body. Pay special attention to eyes or skin when layering or trimming, and wear gloves when trimming to avoid poisoning.
