How to plant the latest purple duck metatarsus

Purple Commelina is a perennial herb of the family Caryophyllaceae, which is native to South America, but now China also has a large breeding area. The ornamental value of purple duckweed is very high, and it also contains very rich medical ingredients, so it is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry in China, and it is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with high efficacy. So how to grow purple duck metatarsus? The following is the editor to introduce to you the planting method of purple duck metatarsal grass!

1. Timely reproduction

The propagation method of purple duck metatarsus is mainly by cutting, which is generally carried out every spring. When shaping and pruning the old plants, we should choose a robust treatment of about 8-9 cm without diseases and insect pests. After it is dried, it can be cut, and attention should be paid to the surrounding environment when cutting. The environment should be kept in semi-overcast and moist, and then the temperature should be controlled at about 20 degrees. Through normal management, it can take root in about half a month, and its survival rate is also very high. Cuttings can also be directly inserted into the water for hydroponic culture, but this is only suitable for family planting.

2. Adjust the temperature

The temperature requirement of purple duck metatarsal grass is relatively high, in the planting process, the temperature should be controlled at about 20-25 degrees. The cold resistance of purple duckweed is relatively weak, so we should mainly control the temperature in winter, and its temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees. When the temperature drops to about 5 degrees, purple duckweed will go into dormancy and stop growing. If it is close to zero, it will lead to plant freezing injury and death in severe cases. Therefore, we should do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation in winter and pay attention to ventilation and cooling in summer to ensure that the temperature is within the suitable range of purple duck metatarsus.

3. Control lighting

The light demand of purple duck foot grass is relatively large, and sufficient light in the growth process can ensure the healthy growth of purple duck foot grass. Improve the glossiness of leaves, flowering rate, and promote the sturdiness of internodes. If the light is not enough, it will lead to longer internodes, weaker branches and lower ornamental value. But its tolerance to strong light is relatively poor, when exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves of purple duck metatarsus will be dim, gradually withered and withered. The growth of the plant will also be greatly inhibited, so we also need to prevent direct sunlight under sufficient light.

4. Water and fertilizer management

The leaf water storage capacity of purple duckweed is relatively strong, so it has a certain degree of drought resistance and will not die even if it is not watered for a week when planting. However, in order to ensure the normal growth of purple duckweed and improve the ornamental value, it is necessary to keep the soil moist. Watering should be based on the principle of non-drying and non-watering, and watering should be controlled at low temperatures in winter to keep the soil in a relatively dry state. Then in the purple duck metatarsus growth period, about half a month to apply fertilizer, must pay attention to the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, not blindly with the skin, over the application of a certain kind, especially nitrogen fertilizer. Then before the beginning of winter, we should stop the application of nitrogen fertilizer, increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and promote purple duck metatarsus to survive the winter safely.

The above is a brief introduction to how to plant purple duckweed, and it should also be noted that when planting, we should control the air humidity at about 65% and 70%.
