The planting method of mother-in-law

Mother-in-law is an annual or biennial herb, which has wild distribution in all parts of our country. Mother-in-law, as a weed, has very good medical effects, such as cooling blood to stop bleeding, regulating qi and relieving pain, and so on. Can be used for the treatment of hematemesis leucorrhea, orchitis and so on. And it is also a kind of greening plant, and its economic value is considerable. So how should mother-in-law grow? Let's take a look at the planting method of mother-in-law.

1. Soil selection

In the cultivation of mother-in-law, we first need to choose a good soil, planting mother-in-law soil should have a good drainage and irrigation capacity. The clay content is kept at about 20% and 25%. Then an appropriate amount of wood fiber, sand and bark can be added to the soil. Then according to the planting area to add an appropriate amount of fertilizer, to ensure that there is sufficient and comprehensive nutrition, improve soil fertility, soil PH value should be maintained at about 6-7.

2. Raising seedlings

The radicle germination of mother-in-law has a requirement for temperature, which should be kept at about 20-23 degrees Celsius and can germinate in 1-2 weeks. After sowing, cover a layer of fine soil, keep the soil in a slightly moist state, do not have too much water. Shading should be done well to prevent direct sunlight, and then the application should be reduced appropriately after the emergence of cotyledons. When the temperature is kept at about 17 degrees, proper fertilization can be applied to balance nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of seedlings.

3. Transplant

Transplant can be carried out about a month after the seedlings sprout, and if you need to transplant into a flowerpot, prepare a flowerpot with a diameter of about 10 cm. During transplantation, attention should be paid to keeping the acupoint disk intact to prevent subsequent seed germination. When potted, we should pay attention to the size of the flowerpot and promote the growth of the roots, so as to improve the quality of the mother-in-law. Control the planting density, keep the mother-in-law able to grow upright, and do a good job of preventing cold when the temperature is low at night to avoid freezing damage to seedlings.

4. Temperature and light

Mother-in-law is a kind of plant with long sunshine, which should maintain a high level of light in its growth. Keep the light time for at least 14 hours a day, in the strong light environment, the flowering rate of the plant will increase, and the growth ability of flowers will also be enhanced. When the natural light is insufficient, we should pay attention to replenishing the light to prevent the mother-in-law from growing up. Then the temperature is controlled at about 15 degrees during the day and 12 degrees at night. In winter cultivation, we should pay attention to cover mulch to maintain a suitable growth temperature.

5. Fertilization

Mother-in-law does not need much fertilizer, but she should apply an appropriate amount of balanced nitrogen fertilizer every week to prevent ammonium nitrogen fertilizer from being too high. There is no need to apply fertilizer after September, and nitrogen and potassium fertilizer is the main fertilizer in spring. In order to ensure sufficient magnesium and iron elements, an appropriate amount of magnesium sulfide and iron compounds can be properly applied, and the number of times can be kept at about twice. When planting, we must provide adequate nutrition for mother-in-law, improve soil structure and promote mother-in-law growth.

The above is a brief introduction of mother-in-law's planting method. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
