How to plant houttuynia cordata? is it a root seed or a seed?

Houttuynia cordata Thunb can be planted not only by root but also by seed, but the growth rate of root seed is faster. The better time for sowing is before and after the Beginning of Spring, which can be planted in the flowerpot in the same direction, with a depth of 8-10 cm, a width of 13-15 cm, and a row spacing of 20-25 cm, and then put the roots of Houttuynia cordata Thunb in the ditch, with 2 rows parallel to each ditch, with a distance of 5-8 cm between the seed stem segments, which are continuously placed and connected from head to tail, and the seed stems should be evenly covered with soil.

Is Houttuynia cordata Thunb a root seed or a seed

1. Houttuynia cordata can be planted not only by root but also by seed, but the root seed is more convenient and the growth rate is faster. Prepare the appropriate soil, and then plant the rhizome, the seed can also be, but the growth rate will be relatively slow, germination is also difficult, so it is not recommended to choose seeds.

2. Houttuynia cordata is mainly produced in the provinces south of the Yangtze River Basin in China. As early as the late 1980s, Gaoping Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province introduced large-scale field planting technology, which has led to nearly 10,000 mu of planting area in the surrounding townships. Now it has formed a relatively large planting base of Houttuynia cordata in China.

2. Planting methods of Houttuynia cordata Thunb.

1. Planting Houttuynia cordata needs to choose places with natural shade (half shade and half yang) and loose and fertile basin soil. Houttuynia cordata can be planted all the year round, but it can be harvested in winter, spring and early summer. Generally, the better time to sow seeds is before and after the Beginning of Spring.

2. In the flowerpot, the furrow can be planted in the same direction with a ditch depth of 8-10cm, a width of 13-15cm, and a row spacing of 20-25cm. Then the roots of Houttuynia cordata Thunb are placed in the ditch with 2 rows in parallel, and the distance between the stem segments is 5-8cm, continuous and connected from head to tail.

3. The seed stem should be evenly covered with soil, and pay attention to heat preservation and moisturization after planting. If planting in the summer high temperature season, it must have 3 nodes, which is helpful to ensure that the middle node can sprout and take root.

4. if planting is carried out before winter, plastic film or newspaper should be covered, which is beneficial to the normal growth and development of winter and early spring and obtain high yield.

Daily management of Houttuynia cordata Thunb.

The main results are as follows: 1. If there is drought in the seedling stage of Houttuynia cordata Thunb, it needs to be watered in the morning and evening, moist the border soil, and before the seedlings survive, it is necessary to carry out intertillage weeding and topdressing nitrogen fertilizer for 2-3 times, each weeding can be combined with topdressing fertilizer, 20-30g urea can be applied per square meter, dilute and then concentrated, and nitrogen fertilizer can be applied after each harvest, which is helpful to promote plant germination.

2. After entering the autumn harvest, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied and soil cultivation is conducive to overwintering, laying a good foundation for sprouting in the coming year, timely watering in dry weather, timely drainage in rainy season, and no stagnant water in flowerpots for a long time.

3. Weeds need to be removed in time, shallow ploughing and loosening soil should be carried out timely, and appropriate amount of mature organic fertilizer can be sprinkled between the rows of plants combined with loosening soil. for plants with overgrowing stems and leaves above ground, coring is needed to restrain plant growth and height. it is beneficial for the plant to grow more lateral branches.
