Reproductive methods
Announce
edit
The propagation methods of hedyotis inebrians include sowing, cutting and branch。[8]
Seed reproduction:Drunkenness has a high seed setting rate and can produce a large number of seeds, which can be propagated by sowing.Generally, the seeds mature 2-3 months after flowering.The fruit of inebrians is the Ru fruit, which will crack after ripening, and then the seeds will be scattered.Therefore, the seeds should be harvested in time after maturity, sown immediately after harvest, and germinated in 3-5 days at 20-25 ℃. The germination rate is generally above 70%, and the seedlings emerge neatly.One year old seedlings can reach 80-100 cm in height.
Cutting propagation:The branches of most species of the genus Euphorbia are easy to take root and can be used for cutting propagation.Generally, the current year semi lignified branches or twigs are taken as cutting materials, the grass carbon soil, perlite or river sand are taken as cutting substrate, and the cuttings are soaked in 200-300x10 naphthylacetic acid solution before cutting, and the rooting rate is more than 70% at 20-25 ℃.This method is easy to obtain materials, easy to operate, and has large reproduction coefficient, which is suitable for large-scale reproduction.
Branch propagation:Drunkenness is a tufted shrub, which can be propagated by branch method.Large seedlings can be obtained by this method, but the reproduction coefficient is small, which can not be used for large-scale production, and is suitable for small family reproduction.[2]

cultivation techniques
Announce
edit
Drunkenness has strong adaptability, strong growth, few pests and diseases, easy cultivation and maintenance, and extensive management.The following three links should be paid attention to in the cultivation and application: ⑴ Drunkenness is a positive plant, likes dry soil, and is afraid of flooding, so it must be planted in a sunny and high dry place;Don't water too much, and pay attention to waterlogging prevention in rainy season. ⑵Drunkenness has a strong ability to sprout sunflowers. During flowering, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time for the sake of beauty;After all the flowers on the plant wither, cut off the branches from the base. When the temperature is appropriate, a large number of new branches can germinate from the base to complete plant regeneration.Many kinds of current year branches can blossom. ⑶The branches and leaves of Drunken Fish Grass are poisonous to fish, so it is not suitable to plant such plants near the water for fish farming.[2]
Key values

Watch
The flowers are fragrant and beautiful, which are common excellent ornamental plants in the parkThings.[6]
Potted plants:The shorter inflorescence type can be potted for viewing after trimming and shaping, and can be freely placed in the garden, square, balcony and roof.
Cut flowers:Many varieties can be used as cut flowers and flower arranging materials.As a basic requirement for cutting flowers, the flower branches and inflorescences are long, the florets on the inflorescences blossom neatly, and the corolla is not easy to fall off.Many varieties of inebrians can be used as excellent cut flowers.[2]
It is used for the greening of separate greenbelts on expressways and urban roads: the plants of Drunkenness are not high, resistant to trimming, good group viewing effect, and strong dust retention capacity, so it is very suitable for road greening.
Combine with forestry ecological construction to create a large area of ecological garden landscape.Because of its strong ecological adaptability, fast growth and high ornamental value, the plant of Drunkenness can quickly form a beautiful ecological garden landscape.
Decoration mode: natural configuration should be adopted in the courtyard, park and residential green space, which can be isolated or clustered on the roadside, lawn, corner or beside the rocks.It can also be arranged into flower beds and flower borders.
Flower viewing hedge: This kind of plant has strong sprouting power, is resistant to pruning, has dense branches and leaves, and grows rapidly. It can be used as a natural or regular hedge.
Roof greening: this kind of plant can be used for roof greening because of its drought resistance and barren tolerance.
Establish a special kind of garden: the plants of this genus not only have rich flowers and pleasant fragrance, but also have flowering types all the year round. Therefore, different kinds and products can be planted together to form a special kind of garden with flowers to enjoy all the year round.Because of its colorful colors and aroma, it is easy to attract small insects such as butterflies and bees, which can form a vibrant ecological garden.[2]
