If the horseshoe uses bulbs for propagation, the bulbs with large head, full and undamaged, smooth epidermis and strong bud head should be selected before breeding. Before planting, the seeds can be soaked with disinfectant for 10-24 hours, fished out to dry, reasonably control the row spacing of the plant, and press the bud head upward into the silt. Cover straw or mat after sowing, moisturize and keep fat to benefit seedlings, often water and keep moist after sowing, and be careful not to wash away the soil on the bulb. After emergence, you should slowly uncover the mat and or straw to make the seedlings adapt to the high temperature and strong light environment.

3. Timely planting

Generally, the early water horseshoe was planted at the seedling age of 45-70 days, while the late water was planted at the seedling age of about one month, and the plant spacing should be controlled at 30 × 60cm. The main stem cluster seedlings and ramet seedlings can be used as colonized seedlings, and the planting depth should be stable. If the seedlings are too high, part of the tip should be cut off and only 25-30cm should be left. At this time, in order to avoid being too high and easy to break or lodge due to wind.

4. Fertilizer and water management

The fertilizer and water management of horseshoe is very important, first of all, the water level of early water horseshoe should be controlled at 2-3cm, and with its gradual growth, the water level should be deepened to 7-10cm. The late water horseshoe should be irrigated to 6-8cm after planting, but in the heading stage, the water level should be lowered to 3-5cm, and the shallow water level of 1-2cm should be maintained in winter. To the growth period, it is necessary to add more chemical fertilizer dissolved oxygen to promote the growth of horseshoe rhizome, to the late growth period, then irregularly add organic fertilizer, but should not be too much, lest the plant grow too much.
