The seeds are light-sensitive and should be slightly covered with soil to maintain humidity after sowing. Germination was carried out at a temperature of 15-20 ℃ for 10 ~ 15 days. The temperature of sowing should not exceed 25℃, the germination should be ventilated after being unearthed, and the seedlings should be colonized with more than 5 true leaves.Tissue culture seedlings cultivated by tissue culture technology were transplanted with 4 ~ 6 leaves.
