Cultivation methods and precautions of Houttuynia cordata

1. Water

Houttuynia cordata likes to grow in a humid environment, so water shortage must not occur during the cultivation period. Especially in the drier seasons, you should water it in time and keep it in a cool and humid environment. The soil should be kept moist, but any water accumulation should be drained immediately.

2. Sunlight

It does not like sunlight and is suitable for growing in cool places. During the cultivation process, try not to expose it to strong sunlight.

3. Soil Quality

When growing Houttuynia cordata, you should use fertile sandy soil, which should preferably contain a certain amount of humus. Although it likes a humid environment, the drainage of its soil must also be good and not too poor.

4. Fertilizer

When cultivating, you need to add fertilizer to the soil and apply a certain amount of base fertilizer, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. During its growth period, it needs reasonable and appropriate topdressing, which can be used in conjunction with urea. Note that the concentration of fertilizer should be as low as possible, and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

5. Notes

Because it has a strong growth ability, it can grow as long as it is given a dark environment. It should be noted that the breeding environment should not only be cool, but also have a certain humidity. In order to meet the former, many people will ignore the aspect of water and humidity.
