1. Temperature requirement

Aconite likes cool climate, is afraid of high temperature, and has a certain ability to withstand cold, but due to different purposes in cultivation, the requirements for temperature are also different. In production, the perennial root of aconite can survive the winter safely at a low temperature of minus 10 degrees, which is suitable for growing in areas where the annual average temperature is about 15-16 degrees, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 37 degrees, otherwise it will affect its growth.

2. Moisture requirements

Aconite likes the wet environment, generally wild in the wet forest environment, if the plant grows in dry soil for a long time, it will produce dry rot, but too humid environment, or stagnant water environment can easily lead to plant root rot. Therefore, attention must be paid to the change of moisture when planting. Aconite is suitable to grow in areas with an average annual precipitation of 1200-1500 mm, requiring soil moisture to be kept at about 80%. Too much will easily lead to rotting roots.

3. Lighting requirements

Aconite needs sufficient light conditions when growing, and it is better to have sufficient sunshine and sunny environment, but avoid strong light exposure, so it is necessary to take measures to protect the shade and avoid the sun in the high temperature season. Growing on the sunny slope with sufficient light, it has fewer diseases, grows well, and has extremely high yield and quality, but if it grows on the shady slope with insufficient light, it will not only grow poorly, but also affect the yield and quality.

4. Soil requirements

Aconite is not strict on soil, but it is suitable to be planted in loam or sandy loam with loose and fertile soil and good drainage, and the yield of neutral purple soil is the highest, while clayey yellow soil and thin stone cellar soil are not suitable for planting, and their permeability is poor. It's not good for the growth of roots. Fuzi avoid continuous cropping, otherwise the harm of diseases and insect pests is more serious, generally need to be replanted after an interval of 3-4 years, the first crop had better be rice, corn, sugarcane and other crops, it is not suitable to rotate with previous crops such as peanut, sesame, potato, eggplant, soybean, konjac and so on.
