In fact, snake berry is not only poisonous, but also an excellent traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc. It has certain curative effect on treating snake bite and hemorrhoids. Now the price of snake berry is relatively high on the market, so many people grow it. Let's take a look at the planting technology together.

1. Selection of land

The adaptability of snake berry is very strong, except in winter cold period, the rest of the season can be planted in the open air, in summer transplant survival rate is high. It has wide adaptability, strong resistance, low requirements for growth environment and soil, and can grow normally in various soils. It is better to plant in soil with deep soil layer, loose soil, general fertility and good drainage. It can grow faster and yield higher.

2. Reproductive methods

The propagation methods of snake berry mainly include sowing and dividing plants. The propagation speed of sowing is slow, usually sowing in autumn and transplanting in spring next year. The asexual reproduction of Rubus nidus L. is strong, so it is better to use the method of division propagation when planting, especially when planting lawn artificially. When the temperature is 15-25 DEG C in spring and summer, the stems of the snake berry are cut into small sections of 20-30cm, transplanted, the depth of the snake berry in the market is 3- 5 cm, the root system is easy to lodge when the temperature is too shallow, the root system growth is influenced when the temperature is too deep, the snake berry is covered with soil and is stamped, urea is mixed with water and is washed, and the soil is irrigated thoroughly.

3. Field management

Within a week after transplanting, water 2-3 times to keep the soil moist, remove weeds in time, about 40-50 days later, its coverage rate can reach 90%, 90 days or so can become a lawn. At this time, in order to speed up the propagation and renewal of the lawn, the lawn should be cut out at intervals of a small section, transplanted to other areas, and the cut part should be refilled. Snake berries can grow again after a period of time, which can speed up its survival rate. The next time, the part that is not cut off next time will be cut off, leaving new growth, repeating constantly, and improving the renewal speed.

4. Fertilizer and water management

Snake berry resistance is very strong, management is extremely simple, do not need to spend a lot of energy, generally only need to water 2-3 times a year, can let it grow luxuriantly. And in rainy season after timely drainage, lest lead to excessive growth of plants, resulting in poor field ventilation and light transmittance, leading to plant decay. Snake berry can grow normally without fertilizer all year round, and some nitrogen fertilizer is usually applied in spring to improve its flowering and fruiting.
