The article describes the bioecological features, the technology of propagation and cultivation of Nandina domestica Thunb. under the climatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova. The results of the research have shown that the optimal way of obtaining high-quality planting material is generative propagation, by sowing freshly cleaned seeds, in autumn, in a substrate consisting of forest humus and compost made from plants. The coefficient of uniformity and the germination capacity of seeds sown in autumn at a depth of 2-3 cm was 2-2.7 times higher than that obtained from sowing in spring. The planting material obtained after sowing in autumn is more vigorous than that obtained after sowing in spring, with a fasciculate and well-developed root system.
