There should be sufficient base fertilizer for planting. Potted plants can be planted with 3 tubers of 2 mi, and the planting depth is 1.5 cm. Planting is usually carried out in late September when the temperature is below 20 degrees. Before planting, soak the tuber root with water for 1-2 days to make it absorb water and expand. 3 parts of garden soil, 1 part of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of rice chaff ash are used in basin soil, and 1 handful of mature compost or chicken manure is used in each pot. 3-5 balls can be planted in a basin with a diameter of 20 cm. When planting, the tip of the root should be downward and should not be inverted. After planting, pour water thoroughly, put in the sunny place, about 20 days can grow new leaves. Keep more than 5 degrees in the greenhouse or greenhouse in winter to continue to grow, form buds and blossom early, but at this time, due to low temperature and low water consumption, watering should be controlled not to make the pot soil too damp, to prevent root rot, depending on the humidity, generally about 3 days to irrigate, if the temperature is low, less watering, fertilizer once every half month 10% cake fertilizer. When cultivated in open field, the temperature is not lower than-10 degrees can survive the winter safely, spring begins next year, and begins to grow around mid-February.
