The latest Pinellia cultivation conditions

Pinellia ternata, also known as Diwen, Shoutian, is a herb of the genus Artemisia, and it is also a common Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of relieving cough, resolving phlegm, stopping vomiting and promoting vomiting. In recent years, with the destruction of wild environment and the extensive use of herbicides, wild Pinellia ternata resources are becoming more and more scarce, so artificial planting is on the rise. But Pinellia ternata is more strict for the planting environment, let's take a look at the planting conditions of Pinellia ternata.

1. Soil requirements

Pinellia ternata has no strict requirements for planting, except saline-alkali soil, gravel and heavy clay, but it is suitable for planting in deep, loose, fertile and moist sandy loam soil. Pinellia ternata is not tolerant to salt and alkali, so the soil pH value is 6-7. Pinellia ternata can be continuous cropping, but continuous cropping time should not be too long, generally planting 3-4 years to rotate, so as not to aggravate the harm of diseases and insect pests, the first crop had better be legumes, wheat and other crops.

2. Temperature requirement

Pinellia ternata can be heard from the name, its picking time is in summer and autumn, so it is generally in February-April before planting, when the temperature is humid, suitable for its growth. Its seeds begin to germinate at a temperature of 8-10 degrees, and the most suitable temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. Once the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, it will grow slowly, more than 35 degrees will cause, and the growth below 13 degrees will be affected. Its lower tuber has strong cold tolerance and can survive the winter normally at a temperature below 0 degrees.

3. Lighting requirements

Pinellia ternata is shady but does not like shade, it can grow luxuriantly under appropriate shading conditions, while shading too much, the growth is weak. In addition, the light intensity is also related to the growth and development of its bulbs and the quality of tubers. If the light is too strong, it will cause death and it is difficult to survive. The best light condition is semi-shade, so the yield will be higher.

4. Moisture

Pinellia ternata likes wet and humid environment, is not tolerant to drought, and has higher requirements for water, but because of its shallow root system, its absorptive capacity is limited, and the drought tolerance of aboveground plants is poor. Therefore, when planting, it must be often watered to keep the soil moist, but it should not be watered too much. it likes water and is afraid of water. if it is watered too much, resulting in stagnant water, it will grow badly, and in serious cases, it will lead to rotten roots and rotten roots, and the seedlings will easily die and affect the yield. Therefore, drainage and waterlogging prevention measures must be strengthened when planting, especially in the rainy season.
