Matters needing attention in the latest planting of Schizonepeta tenuifolia

Schizonepeta is also called schizonepeta, pseudo-Su, it is a labiatae perennial herbs, but also a commonly used antipyretic one. In our lives, it is often used to remove phlegm, dispel wind, treat influenza, etc. At present, it is mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Gansu, Guizhou, Anhui and Hubei provinces. Today, we are going to learn the precautions of Schizonepeta cultivation. Let's understand it together.

1. Soil

Schizonepeta has strong adaptability to the environment, and the requirements for the soil are not strict, and the general soil can be planted with Schizonepeta. But for the sake of yield and quality, it is better to choose plots with soft soil, abundant nutrients and easy drainage for irrigation. Secondly, it is best to plant the humus content rich, or you can artificially add some humus soil, so that you can improve the soil as much as possible.

2. Time

Schizonepeta generally can be planted for two seasons, so we need to pay attention to its planting time. If we miss the best planting time, the impact on the yield and quality of Schizonepeta is relatively large. Spring sowing is generally in the end of March to early April each year, autumn is September and October each year. This means that the latest spring sowing should not be later than mid-April, and the latest autumn sowing should not be later than October. Of course, there are also some areas that can be planted in summer, but the yield of planting is not good.

3. Temperature

Schizonepeta is a warm-loving plant, so it is extremely cold resistant. The lowest temperature that the seedling stage of Schizonepeta can withstand is zero degrees, and when the temperature reaches minus two degrees, it will be frozen to death. Secondly, in the process of growth, the temperature at night should not be lower than 14 degrees Celsius and the temperature during the day should not be lower than 21 degrees Celsius, otherwise the leaves of Schizonepeta will also suffer frostbite to varying degrees.

4. Light

Schizonepeta is a shade loving plant in a sense, but grows better in light. However, what we should pay attention to here is that in the process of planting, the light intensity should not be too large, and it is best to scatter light, which has a good promotion effect on the growth of Schizonepeta. Because the light intensity is too high, there is still a certain degree of damage to Schizonepeta.

5. Humidity

The growth of Schizonepeta requires a large amount of water, so we need to constantly manage water to control soil moisture during planting. Under normal circumstances, it is best to irrigate water once every three days. There is also a larger water demand in summer, it is best to pour water in the morning and evening, but it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the amount of watering, not too much, otherwise it will affect its normal growth. The last thing to pay attention to is to pay attention to drainage to avoid ponding in the field.

When planting Schizonepeta, we also need to pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, nutrient management, intertill weeding and other aspects of management, but due to limited energy, Xiaobian will not explain them here. If you have a need, you can leave a message to Xiaobian separately.
