How to propagate Hypericum

1. Planting

1. Choose a spring time from late March to early April to sow the seeds. Because the seeds are very small, the soil covering them can be thinner, just covering the seeds, which is conducive to germination.

2. Pour an appropriate amount of water on the substrate and cover it with hay to keep it moist. It will germinate in about 20 days.

3. When the seedlings grow to 5-10cm, they can be transplanted separately and they will bloom in the second year.

2. Cutting

1. It can be done in spring, summer and autumn. Tender branches can be cut in summer, and hard branches need to be selected in early spring or late autumn, usually in the rainy season in summer.

2. Clean river sand can be used as the substrate to facilitate rooting.

3. Cut one-year-old tender branches, about 10-15cm in length, keep 2 leaves on the top and cut off the rest.

4. Insert the branches to a depth of about one-half, place them in a cool place, and water them with appropriate amount. They can be transplanted in the second year.

3. Division

It is more appropriate to choose spring and autumn seasons, dig out the divided seedlings, preferably with the soil ball. Divide into several parts and transplant them separately. Be careful not to damage the root system, and pay attention to the application of water and nutrients in the later stage. This method is relatively simple.
