When and how to plant Artemisia selengensis

Artemisia selengensis planting time

Artemisia selengensis is generally planted in March and April each year. The climate is relatively warm at this time, and the seeds are easier to germinate after sowing. They also grow very fast during the seedling stage. If planted too early, the temperature will be too high and the light will be too strong, which will cause the seedlings to be sunburned.

Artemisia selengensis planting method

1. Land preparation and fertilization: Artemisia annua generally grows in fertile soil with convenient drainage, and the previous crop cannot be Asteraceae plants, otherwise it will affect its development. The soil needs to be deeply plowed before planting, and sufficient base fertilizer should be applied.

2. Sowing: When sowing, you need to mix the wormwood seeds and fine soil, and then plant them in rows. The row spacing should be kept at about 30 cm. After sowing, cover with a layer of soil and water appropriately.

3. Maintenance and management: The germination speed of Artemisia sphagnum is relatively fast. After the seedlings grow out, thinning out is necessary in time. Only strong seedlings need to be retained. After thinning, seedlings need to be supplemented and replanted in places where seedlings are missing.

Precautions for planting Artemisia selengensis

During the maintenance period of Artemisia selengensis, attention must be paid to reasonable water and fertilizer management. During the growth period, top dressing is needed. Urea can be used and it should be combined with watering. This can speed up its growth rate. At ordinary times, attention should also be paid to weeding to avoid nutrient consumption.
