How to plant Bletilla striata? Do a good job in field management and keep the soil moist

Land selection and soil preparation: planting Bletilla striata is generally carried out around March, and try to choose loose and thick sandy soil or rotten soil. Method of reproduction: generally propagate through tubers. Planting method: before planting, trench should be carried out, the distance should be kept about 20cm, the depth should be guaranteed to be about 5cm, and the tuber should be placed with the bud facing up, and then fill the soil. Field management: weeding, keeping the soil moist, loosening the soil, fertilization, topdressing and other related work need to be done regularly during its growth.

1. Land selection and preparation

Bletilla striata must first choose good land before planting. It likes loose and fertile sandy soil or rotten soil. It is very suitable for growing in a warm, humid environment, but it is very cold-resistant. And it is very suitable for planting in the mountains with good drainage, when planting in the mountains, try to choose shady hillsides to plant.

When planting Bletilla striata, the soil should be ploughed deeply, about 20 centimeters need to be ploughed, and fertilizer or compost should be applied at the same time, the amount of fertilizer should be about 1000 kilograms per mu. The fertilizer is usually farm manure or ternary compound fertilizer. After fertilization, the soil and fertilizer need to be well mixed, and then shallow ploughing before planting to make a high depression with a width of about 150 centimeters.

2. Methods of reproduction

When breeding, Bletilla striata can choose tuber propagation, so that it can not only develop in a large area, but also choose tissue culture seedlings to propagate. If you choose to sow seeds, you will not be able to achieve this effect. In tuber propagation, Bletilla striata is usually dug out from the ground from September to November, and medium-sized tubers with more bud eyes and disease-free tubers are selected as far as possible. After selecting the seed of Bletilla striata and dipping it with wood ash, you can start planting.

3. Planting method

Before planting, the land is trenched at a distance of about 20 cm and a depth of about 5 cm, and then the tuber is placed in the ditch at a certain distance, with a tuber every 10 cm or so. When you put the tuber, you need to put the buds up, then fill the soil on the tuber, compact the soil, and then water and cover the grass. Before emergence, you must ensure the wetness of the soil.

4. Field management

Field management is mainly aimed at weeding, topdressing, irrigation, drainage and so on. Weeding needs to be carried out before the emergence of Bletilla striata. Generally, Acetochlor is sprayed on the ground after planting tubers. After the initial stage of Bletilla splendens seedlings, weeds will grow crazily again, so it is time to use hoes for artificial weeding.

Bletilla striata is a plant that needs a lot of fertilizer and needs to be sprayed with farm fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate once a month. Irrigation of Bletilla striata should be carried out at the same time as drainage. It likes the moist soil environment, but it is afraid of waterlogging, so it should be watered more in times of drought, and one watering can be arranged in the morning and evening.
