Ophiopogon japonicus is a perennial evergreen herb of Liliaceae. Tuber can be used as medicine. It has the effect of moistening the lungs and clearing the heart, purging heat and promoting fluid, resolving phlegm and stopping vomiting. At the same time, it has high contents of amino acids and vitamins, and has the effects of anti-fatigue, scavenging free radicals, improving cellular immune function and reducing blood sugar. So what conditions do you need when planting? Let's take a look.

1. Soil requirements

Ophiopogon japonicus is used in medicine with tuber, so in order to increase the yield, it is suitable to be planted in loam or sandy loam which is loose, fertile, moist and well drained. If the soil is sticky, it will lead to poor growth and development, but the water and fertility conservation of sandy loam is poor, which can easily lead to fertilizer and water loss. If planted on sandy loam, it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management. While the viscous heavy soil preserves water and fertility, but the soil is too sticky, it will affect the growth of tubers and the yield is low, so it is necessary to loosen the soil when planted in the clayey soil.

2. Temperature requirement

Mai Dongxi warm and humid climate, there is a certain degree of cold resistance, in winter in the environment of minus 10 degrees will not be frozen, but growth will be inhibited. When cultivating, try to choose areas with warm and low altitude, because in areas with high altitude, the perennial temperature is lower, the tubers cultivated are small and few, and the quality is poor.

3. Lighting requirements

Mai Dongxi's hidden environment should not be exposed to strong light for a long time. Under the strong light, its leaves will turn yellow and its growth and development will be affected. However, the growth still needs certain light conditions, if too hidden, the plant is easy to grow, which is disadvantageous to plant development, especially in the tuber expansion, if the light is insufficient, the tuber will grow too small. Therefore, when the tuber expands, we must provide sufficient light conditions to promote the tuber hypertrophy and fruiting.

4. Moisture requirement

Mai Dongxi humid environment, suitable for planting in areas with abundant precipitation, drought will affect its growth and development, in the aboveground part of the development, its root system is the emergence of new roots, a great amount of water demand. If it is dry at this time, the new roots can not be produced in time, the plants will dry up and die for lack of water, and the leaves of the rooted plants will be withered and yellow because of the lack of water. However, too much water content in the soil leads to stagnant water, which is extremely disadvantageous to its growth. It should be drained in time after heavy rain to avoid rotting roots.

The above is the introduction of Ophiopogon planting conditions, hope to help you, want to know more related knowledge, please follow us.
