PLANT PROPAGATION
Propagation methods: seeds, scrub division. Propagation by seeds is used only in selection. Seeds are sown in Autumn after picking up or in Spring after soaking in water 2-3 days. Water should be changed every day. Seeds are sown in March with space 2x2 cm covered with 0.5 cm layer of soil. Seeds germinate within 3 weeks at 20°C. Seedlings are prick out in beds when 4 pairs of leaves appear. Young sprouts are very sensitive to the lack of water and should be watered periodically. Plants are replanted to the final growing place in Autumn or next Spring. Seedlings begin blooming in 2-3 years. Propagation methods: seeds, scrub division. Propagation by seeds is used only in selection. Propagation by scrub division is mostly used. Soil should be removed after digging up. Roots are very intertwined, therefore scrub is divided by hand in pieces with several roots and growth buds. Very long roots are shortened by 30 percent. 20-25 pieces could be made from 5 years old scrub. Scrub can be divided in Spring or in Early Autumn (September). Planted in the same depth as the breeding and growing plants (at 5-8 cm deep above the bud growth). Plants should be watered after planting.
