The half-branch lotus is rich in color, including white, yellow, red and purple. When sowing, it should be noted that the seeds are small and should not be covered with soil, just press the flat bed directly. In addition to ensuring the necessary moisture at the seedling stage, it is not necessary to water frequently during the growing period.

Scutellaria barbata is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of reducing swelling and pain, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and detoxification, anti-cancer and so on. Deeply loved by the market, then, how to raise seedlings of Scutellaria barbata?

Scutellaria barbata soil selection:

Scutellaria barbata likes warm climate and humid, half-yin and half-yang environment, it is appropriate to choose loose, fertile, well-drained soil to plant, avoid stagnant water.

The seed propagation of Scutellaria barbata is mainly seed propagation, and it can also be propagated separately.

1. Seed propagation

The seeds were collected by ①. When the small seeds turn yellowish brown in autumn, collect the mature seeds in time, dry them, remove impurities, put them in a cloth bag and store them in a dry and ventilated place.

Seedlings were raised by ②. In spring, from March to April, and from September to November, a shallow trench (4mur6cm) was planted on a flat and raked seedbed with a row spacing of 15cm to 20cm. The sowing width was 10cm, and the bottom of the ditch was sprinkled with appropriate amount of ash, watering or thin human feces and urine, then evenly sprinkled with seeds mixed with fine soil, then sprinkled with a thin layer of fire ash or loess, and finally covered with straw and other mulch. The seedbed is often kept moist and generally germinates and emerges in about half a month. After emergence, remove the cover grass, strengthen the seedling stage management, the seedling height is about 5 cm and transplant into the field.

Live on ③. It is usually carried out in spring. On the finished border surface, the ditch is opened according to the row spacing of 30 cm, and the ditch depth is 3 cm. The seeds mixed evenly with fine fire soil ash or fine loess are scattered evenly into the ditch, covered with a thin layer of fine fertile soil, and then covered with grass to keep the soil layer moist. After about half a month, the seedlings emerged, after the seedlings were uncovered, the cover grass was removed, and the seedling stage management was done well, with a seed consumption of 1 kg per mu.

2. Ramet propagation will be dug out together with whisker root after harvest in autumn. The rootstock with strong growth and disease-free insects was selected and divided into several small ones, and then on the whole planting ground, the holes were dug according to the row spacing of 30 cm and the plant spacing of 7 mi. 10 cm, a small tree was planted in each hole, the soil was compacted after planting, and the thin human and animal dung water was applied, and the seedlings germinated the following spring.
