How to plant Anoectochilus roxburghii

When it comes to Anoectochilus roxburghii, what may emerge in front of us is the great medicinal value and high cost, as well as the uneven quality in the market at present. People always want to know more about good things, so now that there are very few wild clematis, how can we grow artificially cultivated clematis?

How to grow Clematis

1. Keep sufficient water. Anoectochilus roxburghii likes a humid environment. Water is very important for the growth of Anoectochilus roxburghii. It is difficult to survive when it is dry and short of water. In the process of breeding, you should keep the basin soil moist, and pay attention to the relative humidity of the house. When it is too dry, humidifier can be used to humidify or spray water around the plant. Usually, more water should be sprayed on the foliage.

2. To choose loose and permeable soil, it is best to choose rotten leaf soil, which has high nutrient content, strong loose air permeability and strong fertilizer holding capacity, followed by humus soil, which is slightly inferior to rotten leaf soil. If the soil is not good, you can add some base fertilizer slightly when planting.

3. Avoid direct sunlight. Anoectochilus roxburghii likes a damp and cool environment. If it is placed in the sun, it should be sheltered to a certain extent, preferably over 50%. You can put it in a humid place indoors and leave it in the sun for an hour or two every day, but not directly in the sun.

4. keep the temperature moderate. when the temperature is above 35 degrees, the leaves are easy to curl, so it is best to move to a cool place indoors. Some anti-freezing measures should be given when the temperature is below zero.

5. the selection and change of the basin, the porcelain basin is relatively good-looking, but the air permeability and water permeability is poor, which is not conducive to the breathing of plant roots, the pottery basin is better, not only cheap, but also good air permeability. If it is a relatively dry area, it is best to choose a combination of potted plants, which is conducive to increasing air humidity. If the plant is too small, it is not suitable to choose a too large pot, and when the plant grows up, you need to replace the unsuitable basin, so as not to affect the plant growth.

Planting method of Clematis roxburghii

1. Scientific selection of land

In artificial cultivation of Anoectochilus roxburghii, the planting site should be located in the shady place beside the stream gully in the woodland with high altitude, which is the key to the success of cultivation, which is required to be above 400m above sea level, near the mixed zone of broad-leaved forest or coniferous broad-leaved forest. It is required that the average temperature in January is 10 degrees Celsius, the average temperature in July is 25 degrees Celsius, the air relative humidity is 70%, the wind is light or calm, the transmittance is about 30%, there are water sources around, and the soil structure is good, preferably neutral or slightly acidic (pH=4.5~6.5) weathered yellow loam.

2. Scientific planting

The planting of Anoectochilus roxburghii should be shallow rather than deep. After planting, it is best to cover clean and dry moss, and the row spacing is 5~10cm*5~10cm. Immediately after planting, the root water should be poured to ensure the survival rate. The higher altitude mountain area should be planted from April to May in spring, which can accelerate the growth and harvest in the same year. The low hills on the flat land should be planted from August to September in autumn, which can avoid the high temperature in summer and the peak period of the spread of diseases and insect pests, and increase the survival rate and yield.

3. Field management

The field management of Anoectochilus roxburghii is directly related to its survival rate, growth and yield. The growth cycle of Anoectochilus roxburghii requires less light and heat, especially the strong direct light around noon, so a shading shed should be set up on the cultivated ground to adjust the light transmittance. Anoectochilus roxburghii needs water, but it is not suitable for stagnant water, so the amount of water should depend on the development of seedlings and the environment in which they grow. After planting Anoectochilus roxburghii, the main types of fertilization should be slow-acting organic fertilizer, such as soybean cake after fermentation diluent, pig manure, cow and horse manure and other farm manure, if you can cooperate with spraying foliar fertilizer is better, usually add a small amount of ferrous sulfate per 100kg fertilizer solution, in order to promote the leaf color thick green and rich luster. In the growing season of Anoectochilus roxburghii, 0.3% urea and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed once every half a month for 4 times. Do not pollute the leaves of Anoectochilus roxburghii when fertilizing. if you inadvertently do so, you should spray clean water immediately. The harmful factors and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests are mostly caused by high temperature, poor ventilation, light and unclean cultivation land. Therefore, efforts should be made to overcome these adverse factors and remove weeds.

4. Harvest

Anoectochilus roxburghii can be harvested 4-5 months after planting, with a plant height of more than 10cm, 6 leaves and a fresh weight of 1-2g. When harvesting, pull up the roots (you can also cut the stem and leave the roots for regeneration), shake off the soil, expose it to the sun or dry it with fire to become dry products.

How to propagate Clematis roxburghii

Clematis rosette propagation can be carried out in spring and autumn, generally every three years, where the plant growth is robust, pseudocorm dense can be ramified, after each clump to preserve at least 5 connected pseudocorms. Irrigation should be reduced before splitting, so that the basin soil is better than. When putting on the basin after ramet, first cover the bottom hole of the basin with broken tiles, then cover with coarse stones, occupy the depth of the basin from 5 to 1, and then put coarse-grained soil and a small amount of fine soil, and then plant it with sandy loam rich in humus. Planting depth to the false bulb just buried in the soil strength, the edge of the basin left 2 cm along the mouth, covered with green cloud grass or fine stones, and finally watered thoroughly, placed in the shade for 10-15 days, keep the soil moist, gradually reduce watering, and carry out normal maintenance.

Planting prospect of Clematis roxburghii

The prospect of planting Anoectochilus roxburghii is very broad. We can consider nothing first, only considering that the demand for medicinal materials is increasing with the development of medicine, and the export volume of medicinal materials is still increasing every year. In fact, this does not mean that the demand for Clematis will also change greatly. The main reason is that the medicinal properties of Anoectochilus roxburghii are special, and there are not many points to be used. There is not much demand for medical research, and other medical research will be used, coupled with the wild Clematis is basically on the verge of extinction, so planting Clematis can just fill the gap in the market.

At present, most of the Clematis on the market are cultivated artificially, but artificial cultivation is not so easy. I believe we all know that the growth environment of Anoectochilus roxburghii is very harsh, so very often we can only imitate the wild environment.
