Culture methods and matters needing attention of asparagus

Asparagus is a kind of plant of asparagus family, which is widely distributed in central and northwest China. It is a very popular flower plant, which has high ornamental value and is liked by many people. And asparagus is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, the whole plant can be used as medicine, with the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough. So how to raise asparagus? What are the points for attention? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Soil selection

When cultivating asparagus, the choice of soil is very important. Although the area of wild asparagus in China is relatively large, soil is the key factor if we want to ensure the ornamental value and reproduction rate of asparagus in artificial planting. The soil should be mainly sandy soil with soft, sufficient fertility and strong permeability. If it is planted in pots, then when you prepare your own nutritious soil, you should mainly use pastoral soil, rotten leaf soil, compost soil and sandy soil. It should be disinfected before planting before it can be maintained in the basin.

2. Methods of reproduction

The main propagation methods of asparagus are sowing propagation and split propagation. The emergence rate of asparagus in sowing and reproduction is very high, and it is generally sown in spring every year. The seed coat of asparagus should be rubbed off before sowing, and then washed and dried to sow. Under normal circumstances, about a month after sowing, asparagus can sprout. When ramet propagation should also be carried out in spring, asparagus which has been growing for more than three years should be taken out of the flowerpot, and then the tufted stem roots should be divided into 3 or so, each clump should contain about 4 buds, and then the pot will be successful.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Although asparagus does not have a great demand for fertilizer, fertilizer is also indispensable in its growth. When fertilizing, it is necessary to apply a small amount of fertilizer as the principle, pay attention to the concentration of fertilizer, not too thick, otherwise it is very easy to cause branches and leaves to turn yellow. During the growing period of asparagus such as spring and summer, nitrogen fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer, and it can be applied properly once a month. After shaping, it is necessary to reduce the amount of fertilizer application, avoid overgrowth, and reduce ornamental. Asparagus likes to grow in a humid environment, but it should not be watered too much. If there is too much water, it is easy to cause root rot, so while meeting the water demand of asparagus, we should also pay attention to controlling the amount of water.

4. Points for attention

When planting asparagus, we should pay attention to controlling the temperature. Asparagus generally likes to grow in a warm environment. The suitable temperature for its growth should be controlled at about 25 degrees, and the temperature should not exceed 32 degrees in summer, otherwise asparagus will stop growing. The temperature should also be kept above 10 degrees in winter. Too low temperature will lead to freezing injury of asparagus. Asparagus does not have a great demand for light when growing, and likes to grow in a semi-shady environment. So avoid asparagus from being exposed to direct sunlight, especially in summer. During the growth period, asparagus can be provided with appropriate amount of scattered light.

The above is a brief introduction of asparagus culture methods and matters needing attention. The cultivation of asparagus is actually relatively simple, but there are also a lot of attention to some matters needing attention in order to ensure better breeding.
