The growth habit of Artemisia angustifolia

Artemisia angustifolia is distributed in the provinces south of the Yangtze River and Taiwan Province, and is widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the two hemispheres. It has strong adaptability to pH of water body, but it is best to control it between 6.5 and 7.5. Like warmth, avoid high temperature, bear low temperature, grow well in the temperature range of 16-24 ℃, overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃, when the room temperature is more than 30 ℃, the plant growth will be inhibited. Like to be moist, there are flowing water sources for a long time.

Propagation methods of Artemisia angustifolia

Artemisia angustifolia can be propagated by seeds or cuttings, but because the seeds are very small, it is not easy to collect, and the seedlings grow slowly, so cuttings are often used for propagation. From March to April every year, the stem of Diandian is cut and cut into one section every 3 to 4 nodes as cuttings. On the finished border surface, a shallow trench was opened on each side of the border surface with a depth of 6 cm to 8 cm, each planting 2 rows. In the open shallow ditch, cut according to the plant spacing of 10 cm, human soil 2 to 3 nodes, after planting covered with a layer of thin soil gently compacted, watering the root water.

1. Soil: Artemisia mandshurica is not strict on soil, whether it is yellow loam, red loam or black loam, even in barren soil, but its drought resistance is not strong. It is suitable for soil with fertile and loose, high water absorption and good water retention, and can also be cultivated in moist riverbanks, swamps, grasslands or fresh water with low hardness.

It will stop growing when the temperature rises above 32 ℃ in summer, no lower than 5 ℃ in winter, and will be inhibited when the room temperature exceeds 30 ℃.

5. Light: Artemisia mandshurica is shade-tolerant, preferably in half-day sunshine or shade, avoid strong direct sunlight, the more shady the environment, the more likely to lead to plant leaf rot. Money grass does not win glory, but if you let it receive 4 hours of scattered light every day, or give it 8 hours of artificial light, it will grow better.
