[suitable environment]

Codonopsis pilosula likes warm and cool climate, is more hardy, and its roots can survive the winter in the open field in the soil. The seedlings like to be moist, and the soil is easy to dry to death due to lack of water. High temperature and humidity can easily cause rotting roots and cause plant death. Codonopsis pilosula has strict requirements for light, the seedlings like shade, the big seedlings like enough sunshine after they grow up, and they do not grow well in half-yin and half-sun. It is required that the plough layer is deep and the soil is loose, with sandy loam as the best. It is not suitable to plant on saline-alkali land, low-lying land and continuous cropping land.
