Abstract:
In autumn Gynostemma pentaphyllum propagated by leaf cutting can root quickly andhave a high survival rate. Covered with plastic film, they can live through the winter,and then grow quickly and sturdily when the weather getting warmer in the early springof the following year. At the end of April, the first crop of G.pentaphyllum can be harvested and supply sufficient materials for cutting in large arca in May. The results showedthat the annual output of stems-leaves of G.pentapyyllum propagated by leaf cuttingis 2.99 times as much as that by stem cutting in the same year.
