How to propagate pepper and what to pay attention to

How to breed pepper

Sichuan pepper can be propagated by three methods: sowing propagation, cutting propagation and division propagation. Among them, cutting propagation is the fastest growing method of propagation, while sowing propagation has the widest planting range.

Propagation of pepper seeds

Sichuan pepper seeds can be propagated, generally by sowing. The seeds need to be harvested in advance and then planted. The natural reproduction method of Sichuan pepper is sowing. Before planting, it needs to be germinated to increase its germination rate.

Breeding time of pepper

Sichuan pepper is usually propagated in spring, specifically between February and March. The survival rate at this time is relatively high, and because the growth environment is suitable, the growth rate is relatively fast.

How to breed pepper

Propagation of Zanthoxylum bungeanum by division

When pepper is propagated by division, it is usually done in spring, before it has fully sprouted. It requires a suitable temperature environment during maintenance so that it is easier to survive.

Propagation of pepper by cuttings

When propagating Sichuan pepper by cuttings, it is best to choose branches that have grown for one year. This will be beneficial to its future growth, and it also requires a good maintenance environment.

Seeding propagation of Zanthoxylum bungeanum

When sowing and propagating Sichuan pepper, relatively full seeds are needed for planting, and they must be germinated in advance to increase their germination rate. This is usually done in the spring of each year.

Notes on pepper breeding

When Sichuan pepper is propagating, pruning is required, which is usually done in the summer every year. Some weak and diseased branches should be cut off, which is more conducive to future growth. In addition, watering and fertilizing should be carried out in time to provide it with a good growth environment.
