When is Gastrodia elata planted? What conditions do you need to grow Gastrodia elata?

The best planting time is from the beginning of November to March of the following year.

Suitable conditions. Gastrodia elata has no roots and leaves, can not carry out photosynthesis, and relies on the supply of Armillaria mellea to grow and multiply. Therefore, the first step of planting Gastrodia elata is to cultivate a certain number of high-quality Armillaria mellea, and the second step is to introduce Gastrodia elata and grow with Armillaria mellea in time.

Suitable range. The adaptability of hybrid Gastrodia elata is stronger than that of traditional asexual reproduction, and it is suitable to be planted in all potato planting areas. its method is as extensive and simple as planting potato, and it does not compete with crops for land, fertilizer and labor.

Suitable for planting environment. The suitable temperature for the growth of Gastrodia elata is 10 ℃ ~ 30 ℃, the air relative humidity is about 80%, the soil water content is 50%-55%, and the pH value is 5-6, which is a slightly acidic ecological environment.

Cultivation of fungus. The growth of Armillaria mellea can be carried out all the year round. Generally, high quality Armillaria mellea test tube mother species are purchased 90 days before Gastrodia elata sowing, and then are propagated and cultured into Armillaria mellea material. The technological process is as follows: mother species (grade 1) → original species (grade 2 species) → cultivation species (grade 3 species) → Armillaria mellea material (Gastrodia elata growth medium), and then purchase hybrid Gastrodia elata seeds for co-planting. Farmers can also purchase high-quality Armillaria mellea cultivation materials directly 40 days in advance, and the cultivation of Armillaria mellea materials can be fully open with no technical difficulty.

Product sales. The most reliable way to sell the harvested goods Gastrodia elata is to sell itself nearby or to hand it over to the local medicine purchasing department. The first introduction should inspect the market situation and demand of medicinal materials on the spot so as to avoid economic losses caused by sales obstruction.
