The planting method of Pearl vegetable

Pearl vegetable is a kind of Primulaceae plant, because the flowers are relatively small, and the shape looks like a white string of pearls, so it is called pearl vegetable. The nutritional value of Pearl vegetable is very high, contains a variety of nutritional elements, and is welcomed by many people. Therefore, planting is relatively extensive now. But how to grow pearl vegetables? The following editor has brought you the planting method of pearl vegetables, let's have a look!

1. Methods of reproduction

The propagation method of pearl vegetable is generally based on cutting propagation. Cutting time is generally not too limited, the whole year can be carried out, but it is best to be in the spring and autumn, because the survival rate of cutting in these two seasons is relatively high. When cutting, we should first choose a robust mother plant, and then cut off the branches with 4 buds of about 10 cm. It can be inserted directly into the seedbed, and the cutting depth can be kept at about 2 beat 3 of the cuttings. Nursery bed soil is mainly sandy loam soil, watering after insertion, but not topdressing, to maintain humidity. In addition, it can also carry out ramet propagation, sowing reproduction and so on.

2. Timely transplanting

The adaptability of Pearl vegetable is relatively strong, because it is already an invasive species. Therefore, its demand for soil is not very high, but it is best to give priority to fertile and soft sandy loam. Then apply sufficient rotten farm manure as base fertilizer, and then turn the soil deeply into soil preparation. It can be transplanted when the seedlings are displayed with three leaves and a high height of 5cm. The transplanting time can be adjusted appropriately according to the planting season. After transplanting, the high border cultivation should be given priority to, and the border width should be kept at about 140cm. The distance between plants and rows is controlled at about 25cm*35cm.

3. Seedling stage management

In the pearl seedling stage, we should focus on doing a good job of management. When two or so heart leaves are grown, the work of thinning seedlings should be carried out, based on the principle of removing the weak and staying strong, to provide sufficient space for the growth of healthy seedlings, keep the plant distance at about two centimeters, and do a good job of weeding at the same time. When it grows to about ten centimeters, it is the exuberant growth period of pearl vegetables, and it is time to do a good job in fertilizing and watering. To ensure that there is sufficient fertilizer and water to meet the growth needs of pearl vegetables, and then need to do a good job in pest prevention and control to ensure the healthy growth of pearl vegetables.

4. Field management

The root distribution of Pearl vegetable is relatively shallow, so the root absorptive capacity is relatively poor. Therefore, when growing pearl vegetables, fertilizer and water supply is very important. It is necessary to ensure adequate nutrition and moisture in order to improve the yield and quality of pearl leaves. When the soil is dry, it should be watered in time, about twice a day, but it is also necessary to do a good job of drainage in the rainy season. Generally, the fertilizer is topdressing every two weeks or so, and the fertilizer is mainly urea, which promotes pearl vegetables to grow as soon as possible. Then the pearl vegetables can be harvested when they grow to about 15-20cm.
