How to plant Dichondra repens seed planting methods and matters needing attention

Dichondra has a very good ornamental value, it can be planted in a large area in the park, can also be planted in a small area in the pot, no matter where, want to grow well, all need careful care, then we will introduce how it is planted, what matters need to pay attention to.

How to plant seeds of Dichondra repens

First, the park scenic spot playground, generally the planting area is larger, the terrain undulation is small, is advantageous to plough the soil, the planting effect is the best.

1. Land preparation: do a good job in the topography of the land, where it should be high and where it should be sunken. Once the seeds are planted, it is not good to change the terrain. After determining the topography, remove all weeds and apply 3-5 tons of agricultural fertilizer per mu. The fermented chicken manure and cow manure are the best, and all the topsoil is ploughed once.

two。 Sowing: after finishing the land, you can sow. The seeds of Dichondra repens are small, mainly sowed, sow the seeds evenly when there is no wind, then cover the soil with 1cm or 2cm of positive pressure, and cover plastic film or degradable non-woven cloth by watering. If the temperature is good, germinate in about 10 days. after germination, pay attention to timely watering to accelerate the growth of shoots. Within 2 months of planting Dichondra, you need to weed manually. Remember not to use herbicides. Currently, no herbicide can be used on Dichondra repens.

Second, the area of the courtyard garden is small, and the mechanical cultivated land is difficult, so it is generally used to turn the soil manually or spray water to sow seeds. If you can't turn the soil, remove the weeds and sow the seeds directly, but water them every day before germination to keep the seeds absorbing enough water to guide about half a month after germination.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of Dichondra repens

Culture method

1. Light and temperature

The growth of Dichondra should maintain enough light and be exposed to more sunlight every day so that it can grow exuberant and green. Dichondra repens has both light-loving and shade-resistant growth habits. It can grow in semi-humid places and does not require high temperature, but it will frostbite when the temperature drops from-6 ℃ to-7 ℃.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Dichondra repens needs regular irrigation and appropriate fertilization during its growth. The seedlings of Dichondra repens were irrigated once or twice a week after being unearthed, and the times of irrigation should be increased in dry season. After maturity, watering should be controlled in early spring and early winter, and the watering times should be determined according to the soil quality in the Spring Festival growing season. Dichondra likes nitrogen fertilizer, usually combined with rain and watering, should apply appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer, after fertilization to pour a lot of water to reduce the degree of leaf burns. Or fertilize first, then sweep the fertilizer under the leaves, and then combine with watering. At the same time, the high temperature in summer can not be fertilized.

3. Soil

Dichondra is not very strict on the soil, as long as the drainage conditions are moderate, it can be planted on sandy soil and clay, and grow in fertile fields or mountains.

Matters needing attention

When Dichondra repens is doing lawn greening, weeds will appear because it takes a period of time to grow, so weeds need to be removed, when there are few weeds, they can be pulled out manually, and if there are more weeds, herbicide spray can be used.

Can I drink Dichondra repens in water?

This kind of thing is also called meat chaos grass, so it can be seen that this kind of thing can be eaten, and some people often drink it in bubble water, which also has a good effect. It takes orally to relieve wind and cold, break qi and accumulate, disperse knots and relieve pain, and enter the gastrointestinal meridian. For cold abdominal pain, color cold abdominal pain, heatstroke abdominal pain, falling injury chest and abdominal pain, urination obstruction, children wind-phlegm chest, has a very good effect, but pregnant women do not take, have an impact on the fetus.

The function of Dichondra repens

1. The effect of protecting liver and lowering enzyme

Pharmacological experimental studies show that the extract of Dichondra repens has a certain therapeutic and protective effect on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), can significantly reduce the elevated serum transaminase in mice caused by liver injury within 1 week and 3 weeks, lighten the pathological changes of liver, and increase the inverted white globulin ratio after liver injury. In the experiment of fresh grass juice of Dichondra repens, the results showed that it decreased the content of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and liver tissue of CCl4 toxic mice in a dose-dependent manner, significantly increased the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and significantly reduced the degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes.

2. Analgesic effect

Mice were stimulated by writhing method, hot plate method and electroacupuncture method, and different doses of Dichondra repens extract were given to determine the pain threshold of mice. The results showed that the extract of Dichondra repens had good analgesic effect.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect.

Low-dose Dichondra repens extract can significantly inhibit the increase of capillary permeability induced by acetic acid and inhibit the inflammatory swelling of rat toes induced by carrageenan. Both the extract of Dichondra repens and its petroleum ether extract can significantly inhibit the acute inflammatory edema of mouse auricle induced by xylene, but the anti-inflammatory effect of petroleum ether extract of Dichondra repens has no obvious dose-dependent relationship, for different inflammatory models, the middle dose always has good pharmacological activity.

It seems that in addition to watching and extracting it, it also has a very good medicinal value. When injured, using it can help you relieve pain and have an anti-inflammatory effect on the wound. Not only that, it can also soak in water and drink. It has a good effect on dispelling wind and cold, but pregnant women should not take it.
