How to plant tendon grass

Shunjin grass, also known as lion grass, Shujin grass or stone pine, is a perennial herb of the family Lycopodiaceae, which exists mostly in the wild. It is often used to treat joint pain, fall injuries and some common ailments, so there is an increase in market demand, which means a reduction in resources. Then artificial planting is needed to protect wild resources and meet the needs of market development, so do you know how to plant it? Now let's read the wonderful content below.

1. Refurbishment of planting land

Wild tendon grasses generally grow on mountain slopes or between mountain forests, or epiphytic in cliffs and moss-covered areas. Then it can be seen from this that the environmental requirements of the planting land are relatively humid, followed by low light intensity. Then the artificial planting of tendon grass is best planted in the clayey soil with rich water resources, fertile soil and good water retention. When preparing the soil, we only need to turn it over a little bit, and apply appropriate fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer, and finally we can prepare for planting.

2. Scientific planting

The vitality of tendon grass is very tenacious, in artificial planting, we most often use the way of plant propagation, so the reproduction speed, yield and quality are very high. In addition, when planting, we need to water the soil thoroughly before planting. As the growth rate of tendon grass is relatively fast, we need to control the planting density when planting, the row spacing is generally 50cm, and the plant spacing is 35 cm.

3. Field management

After planting, we should pay attention to the water management in the field. The growth of tendon grass has a large demand for water, under normal circumstances, the soil moisture is best maintained at about 65% to 75%, that is to say, it is generally necessary to water every other week or so. Secondly, we also need to pay attention to drainage, especially in the case of continuous rainfall, if there is too much water, it will also affect the normal growth of tendon grass. In addition, in the process of planting, we also need to pay attention to weeding, generally in the place where tendon grass grows, there are more weeds, so the loss of nutrients is relatively large. Finally, reasonable topdressing, nitrogen fertilizer can be used to promote the growth rate of tendon grass and increase its yield.

4. Harvesting and processing

The whole grass is generally used as medicine, but according to the growth rate, we can harvest it at least twice a year. Tendon grass can be harvested when it grows to about 30 to 120 centimeters, and it can be harvested reasonably according to market demand. We need to process it after harvest so that we can sell it. Generally, it is to remove the impurities from the grass, then wash it, cut it into small pieces, and finally dry it in the sun, or let it dry in other ways.

At present, the stretching grass on the market in our country is basically wild, and the artificially planted stretching grass is still very few, so we need to continue our efforts.
