BACKGROUND: To mass-produce standardized Schisandra chinensis with various functional substances, developing vegetative propagation technology is essential. The propagation technology for S. chinensis, including methods using suckers, remains to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS: To determine the optimal conditions for sucker propagation, suckers were propagated in different seasons (March, April, October, and November), suckers lengths (10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm), and bed soils (vermiculite, horticulture media, vermiculite + silty loams, and silty loams). The results showed that the propagation efficiency was higher in November at a sucker length of 10 cm in a bed soil of vermiculite (86.6%). CONCLUSIONS: The optimal conditions for S. chinensis sucker propagation were cutting in November, 10 cm sucker length, and vermiculite bed soil treatment. These propagation characteristics will provide a basic parameter for cultivating S. chinensis.
