How to propagate Gynostemma pentaphyllum

1. Cutting method

You can use vines, select those with good growth conditions, and cut them into cuttings with 3-4 nodes. Insert it into the seedbed and keep it slightly moist. When it grows to about 40-50cm, it can be transplanted.

2. Rhizome Method

In spring from February to March or autumn from September to October, take out the rhizomes and cut them into 5 cm small segments. It is best if each segment has 1-2 nodes. Carefully insert the rhizome into the soil, cover it with 3cm thick soil, and finally water it with an appropriate amount of water.

3. Seeding method

When the fruit is ripe, pick it and remove the skin, select the plump seeds, and place them in a semi-shaded place to dry and store. Wait until March or April of the following year to sow the seeds, sterilize the seeds and soak them in warm water for a day. After germination, sow them in the soil, cover them with a layer of fine soil and provide appropriate shade.
