First, what is the alias of traditional Chinese medicine Rosemary?

Rosemary is the traditional Chinese medicine name of rosemary, and it can also be called Aiju and the dew of the sea. Rosemary belongs to dicotyledonous class, Labiatae and Rosemary shrubs.

What are the main points of planting and conservation of rosemary?

1. Methods of reproduction

Rosemary can be propagated by sowing, cutting, striping and other methods. The method of seed germination is generally used when introducing new varieties, because its seed germination is relatively slow and the germination rate is low, but the general planting will not choose this method. Asexual reproduction is often used in large-scale cultivation. For small-scale planting, it can be planted by cutting after coring the mother plant to promote the collection of germinating lateral branches.

2. Main points of transplanting

The cuttings should be transplanted after they take root and survive. If you transplant it into a flowerpot, you can choose one with a diameter of about 10cm, and it should be planted for six to ten weeks depending on the variety and season of rosemary. And the plants should be pruned in time to facilitate the growth of lateral branches.

3. Fertilizer

14-4-14 was selected as fertilizer and the concentration was controlled at 125ppm. And to keep the pH value of the matrix at 5.8-6.2, chelating iron can effectively maintain the matrix at a suitable pH value.

4. Watering

In the cultivation of rosemary, watering is very important. Rosemary is afraid of being wet and dry, so the basic principle of watering is: if you are not sure whether it should be watered today, water it tomorrow.

5. Pruning

Rosemary needs to be pruned regularly, otherwise the axillary buds of rosemary will grow wantonly and the whole plant will look messy.

5. Pest management

The most common diseases are root rot and Botrytis cinerea, which often occur in humid environment. And if the culture medium is wet, the rosemary plant will wilt, which is necessary to move the plant out of the greenhouse. The most common pests are red leaf mite and white whitefly, and the control method is mainly biological control. Of course, the most important thing is prevention, so special attention should be paid to hygiene, water management, temperature and light.

6. Harvest management

We use rosemary mainly with its branches and leaves, so it can be folded directly with hands or scissors, and the plant wound will flow out a kind of mucus, which is difficult to clean on the hands, and some people are allergic to it. It is best to wear gloves and long-sleeved clothing when harvesting. Rosemary can be used immediately after harvest, or it can be dried and preserved quickly to avoid aroma loss.

The above is the introduction of the alias, planting and conservation of rosemary. I hope it will be helpful to you.
