1、种子繁殖：夏季果实成熟时采收，搓去果皮，阴干。宜随采随播，选具有一定荫蔽的湿润环境育苗。撒播于苗床上，用细土盖过种子为度，盖草，浇水保湿。当幼苗高达30cm时，按行株距200cm×200cm开穴，每穴种1株。2、扦插繁殖：于春暖时进行，选择二年生枝条，截成长15-20cm，斜插土中。病虫防治

1. Seed propagation: Harvest the fruits in summer when they are ripe, remove the fruit skin, and dry them in the shade. It is suitable to sow the seeds immediately after harvesting in a moist environment with some shade. Sow the seeds on seedbeds, cover them with a thin layer of soil, mulch, and water to keep them moist. When the seedlings reach a height of 30cm, dig holes with a spacing of 200cm x 200cm and plant one seedling per hole.2. Propagation by cuttings: This method is carried out in early spring. Select two-year-old branches, cut them into 15-20cm long pieces, and insert them diagonally into the soil. Pay attention to disease and pest control.

病害有猝倒病，幼苗具1-2片真叶时易发生。雨季注意疏沟排水，拔除病株，于病穴处撒放生石灰消毒，并在苗床表面撒一层干草木灰。
The disease is sudden death disease, which is prone to occur when the seedlings have 1-2 true leaves. During the rainy season, pay attention to digging ditches for drainage, remove diseased plants, sprinkle quicklime for disinfection at the diseased spots, and spread a layer of dry straw ash on the surface of the seedbed.
