Propagation by cuttings

On you can multiply the firethorn by cuttings:

Propagation by seeds

When the bright red berries have ripened in autumn, you can pick some of the fruits. Remove the small seeds completely from the pulp and sow the seeds into small pots filled with soil. Since firethorn is very sensitive to moisture, it is advisable to introduce a drainage layer of clay granulate into the seed pots. Alternatively, you can mix the substrate with fine-grained granules or sand before filling.

The firethorn is a dark germ

Use a shish kebab to pull narrow ruts into the ground into which you sprinkle the seeds. The distance between the grooves should be at least two centimeters. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and put a plastic bag over the culture pots. Water the soil regularly with a sprayer so that the seeds are not washed out of the soil.

Separating the plantlets

Once the small fireweed plantings have grown a few inches, you can remove the plastic bag greenhouse. If the small firethorns have expelled several leaves, they are isolated. Maintain the plants during the winter in the house and get used to them slowly in the spring to the changed conditions in the field.

Propagation by sinkers

With the help of sinkers, you can multiply individually awake firethorn shrubs to a closely guarded hedge over time.
