Purslane is a kind of wild vegetable with rich nutritional value, which is delicious and deeply loved by the public. now there are fewer and fewer wild purslane. Due to the large market demand, more and more people begin to plant them artificially. So, how to plant purslane?

1. Methods of reproduction

Portulaca oleracea is a kind of herbaceous plant with strong vitality, and there are mainly two ways of reproduction, one is seed propagation, and the other is rod propagation, each of which has its own advantages. seed reproduction is more in line with the current situation of large-scale artificial reproduction, and insertion requires certain technology, but high-quality varieties can be selected to achieve high-quality culture effect. If you plan to plant in a large area, it is recommended to use seeds, which is beneficial to the overall management.

2. Transplant management

The successful cultivation of the first two methods requires transplantation, and generally the transplant can begin after 2-3 weeks. At this time, the seedlings are just the most suitable for transplanting, the root system is developing steadily, and the survival rate after transplantation will be very high. The transplanted soil should prepare fertilizer in advance. The best soil is sandy and breathable soil. After transplanting, you need to irrigate a little water, not too much, and can moisten the surface soil. The spacing of each plant is controlled at 20-30 cm, so that it can grow like four weeks and increase yield.

3. Planting management

The management after transplanting pays more attention to fertilizer and water, because there are relatively few weeds in purslane, because it belongs to herbaceous plants, and urea is recommended for fertilization, which is conducive to the rapid growth of its roots and branches. generally, there is no fertilization before the first harvest, so the base fertilizer should be applied more at the initial stage, about 2500 jin per mu, and a small amount of farm manure can be released in the later stage. Water application is recommended once every 3-7 days, it can be added or subtracted according to the situation, and each time the amount of water is controlled to infiltrate into a 2-3 cm soil layer.

4. Points for attention in picking

Purslane is a kind of crop that has been picked for a long time, so we should be careful not to overdo it each time, so that it can grow better next time. When picking, we should try to pick only the most fresh branches and leaves, and reserve about 4-5 sections for the rhizome. Purslane has a growth cycle of about 2-3 weeks after the first picking, and should be picked in time. Picking too late is not conducive to subsequent growth.

The above is the planting method of purslane, I hope it can help you!
