Planting techniques of Tripterygium paniculata

Chicken blood vine is a medicinal material, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and tonifying blood, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. it is distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places in China. Many people make it into accessories and wear it. So, what are the planting techniques of chicken blood vine? Let's get to know it together.

1. Land selection and preparation

Chicken blood vine is suitable to grow in the environment between 200-3000 meters above sea level, usually growing on the edge of the field, sunny hillside, roadside thickets or seaside sand dunes. When planting, it is best to choose a gentle slope with convenient drainage and irrigation, leeward and moist. It is required that the soil should be sandy loam with deep soil layer and loose soil, turn it deep once in the winter before planting, eliminate overwintering eggs, and apply rotten farm manure per mu as base fertilizer when preparing for planting the following year. After shaping and raking, ridging and digging the drainage ditch, if there are conditions, the soil can be disinfected.

2. Methods of reproduction

The propagation method of Uncaria is cutting. When the new buds sprout, select the stout, disease-free branches that grow for 1-2 years as cuttings, cut them into 15-20 cm length with 2-3 bud holes, cut off the leaves at the base, cut the base into a wedge, cut the top flat, and make it easy to distinguish. The cuttings are soaked in rooting powder for 5-10 minutes to improve the survival rate, and then cut a small hole with wood strips. Insert the cuttings at a small hole with a depth of about 2/3 of the cuttings, expose at least one bud hole, cover the soil and water after cutting, and take root and sprout in about half a month.

3. Transplanting

After the cuttage has survived, the main field management can carry out transplanting when the seedlings grow to 40-50 cm, which is generally the best in April-May, because the temperature rises and the rainfall is abundant, which is beneficial to the survival rate of transplanting. After seedling emergence, it is necessary to dip the root with sticky yellow mud to keep the root moist, so that half or 2/3 of the leaves should be trimmed to reduce the water evaporation of the seedlings and improve the survival rate. The chicken blood vine is fond of deep mountain forests, hillsides and streams, as well as its characteristics of winding around other trees, so it is best to adopt under-forest cultivation, dig a hole at a distance of 2 meters under the forest, apply 5 kilograms of farm manure at the bottom of the pit as base fertilizer, spread the seedling root system, plant vertically, cover the soil and step on it, and pour enough fixed root water.

4. Post-management

After transplanting, the weeds and trees in the forest should be removed in time. Loosening the soil and weeding had better be done manually. After loosening the soil, the litter can be covered with the ground to avoid the surface soil exposed. During the peak growth season from July to August, topdressing should be done in time to promote its growth. 5 kg farm manure or 1 jin of compound fertilizer should be dug near the root system, and the soil should be covered in time after fertilization. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, there are fewer diseases, mainly the leaves are eroded by pests, chemicals should be used as far as possible, pollution-free killing methods should be adopted to reduce drug residues.

The above is the planting technology of chicken blood vine, I hope it can help you!
