Datura is often propagated by sowing method. Generally, in winter, the seeds will mature. The mature seeds can be taken out and seeded the next year. It should be noted that it is difficult for Datura to bear fruit. It can be pollinated artificially to promote fruit ripening.
The planting of Datura is generally carried out in the first ten days of April, which can be directly broadcast or transplanted. Sprinkle seeds on the seedbed, cover the soil slightly, spray water after compaction, and it will germinate soon. When germinating, cover some straw, which can play the role of shading and moisturizing. After a period of growth, it can be transplanted. Transplanting can be carried out in late May to early June.
In the growth period of seedlings, we should pay attention to weeding at any time, and cultivate soil in time to avoid plant lodging. When the seedling body is about 10cm, it can be used for thinning, and the weak seedlings can be removed. Generally, two seedlings can be kept in each hole. When the growth is more vigorous, it can be properly topdressing. When the seedlings of Datura have 4 - 6 true leaves, they can be transplanted
In addition to sowing and propagation, Datura can also use cutting to propagate new plants.
The Cuttage Propagation of Datura can be carried out in spring or autumn. When cuttage is carried out in spring, the branches of 1-2 years old can be selected. When cuttage is carried out in autumn, the mature branches of that year can be selected as cuttings. When cutting, you can choose vermiculite or perlite as cutting media, insert cuttings into the media, and maintain a certain air humidity, generally 15 - 20 days or so can take root.
