I have never been successful at germinating seeds of Eleutherococcus senticosus but after a recent e-mail I was inspired to look at the subject a little more deeply- Cultivation/ Propagation from seed Seed propagation – collect the ripe seeds in the 9th or 10th month, soak for 1-2 days, run with hands to remove the peel, mix chaotically 2 times with moist sand. Germination temperature about 20 degrees C, every 7-10 days change the position 1 time for about 3 months wait until about 50% of the seeds have split, put in 2 degree Celsius low temperature storage. In the 4th month of the 2nd year plant out on 8cm by 8 cm grid, each hole 2-3 seeds, cover with soil (earth) 2-3cm, cover 3-5 cm with rich leaves Seedlings will emerge in the 5th month Eliminate the covering and water to keep moist Can transplant in the second year. Natural environment is 500-2000m above sea level, deciduous broad leaf forest or mixed pine and broad leaf forest Northeast China Manchuria, HeBei, ShanXi Prefers warm and moist climate, cold-resistant, able to tolerate shade, able to tolerate sun exposure, soil should have deep humus layer, soil should be a sandy loam that is slightly acidic
