Sorrel, also known as sorrel, has many varieties, and it is known to have more than 900 species. It has inverted heart-shaped leaves, beautiful flowers and high ornamental value. It is deeply loved by many people and began to be planted in large quantities. In addition, it can be used as medicine, it has the effect of clearing heat and dampness, cooling blood and dispersing blood stasis, detoxification and detumescence, so how should it be planted? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction.

1. Land preparation

Oxalis likes to grow in sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage, and the soil is too sticky and heavy, so it is necessary to fertilize the soil before planting. The soil is ploughed for 30-40cm, and organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer are applied to fine, rake, tamp and drain sorrel grass, so it is necessary to take good drainage measures, such as keeping a certain slope or ridging to make beds, and digging drainage ditches to facilitate drainage.

2. Reproduction

There are many varieties of sorrel, but we can see that it is mainly yellow flower or purple flower sorrel, which can be propagated by small balls or cuttings. When the temperature rises every summer and the above-ground plants begin to turn yellow and wilt, the underground bulbs can be dug up, stored in a cool place and planted in cool autumn. When planting, put the bulb bud upward, in covering the soil, the thickness of the soil layer is generally 1-2 times that of the bulb, then water, keep the soil moist, control the temperature above 5 degrees, wait for unearthed.

3. Field management

It is necessary to strengthen the management after emergence, first of all, water, not more watering, just keep the soil moist for a long time, generally rewatering after drying, if too much watering will lead to bulb rot. Oxalis likes potash fertilizer and can properly apply some mature organic fertilizer at the seedling stage without too much to promote its growth. In addition, Oxalis likes the environment with sufficient light, and it is necessary to provide sufficient light, but avoid exposure. Under the condition of sufficient light, the plant grows fast, blossoms more, the yield is also high, the light is insufficient, the plant is weak, the number of flowering is less, and the yield is lower.

4. Diseases and insect pests

Diseases and insect pests are mainly aphids and rust. Aphids generally reproduce in autumn and spring, which will gnaw clean leaves and lead to plant death in serious cases, which can be controlled by imidacloprid spraying. Rust is a fungal disease, the main reason is that the soil is too wet or in case of long-term rainy weather, untimely treatment will lead to yellow leaves or death. When the disease is found, the diseased plant can be pulled out and taken out of the field, and then the disease point can be disinfected. If the disease has been infected, Cuibei can be sprayed for prevention and control.
