Where is the best place to plant Polygonatum odoratum

Polygonatum odoratum planting area

Wild Polygonatum odoratum generally grows in areas with an altitude of 300-1500 meters. If it is cultivated artificially, it must be grown in areas with an altitude of more than 900 meters to prevent the climate from affecting its growth.

Polygonatum odoratum prefers warm and humid areas. Northeast my country, North China, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi and other places are suitable for cultivation, especially Hunan, Henan and Jiangsu are the main cultivation areas, the output of Polygonatum odoratum is of the best quality.

Polygonatum odoratum planting conditions

Polygonatum odoratum also has high requirements for temperature. It is drought-resistant, but its seeds need a temperature of about 25 degrees to break dormancy and begin to germinate. The temperature requires 9-12 degrees when seedlings emerge, and the temperature should be maintained at 18-22 degrees when buds and flowers appear. The temperature requires 19-25 degrees when the underground rhizomes swell.

When the temperature is below 20 degrees in autumn, the fruits gradually mature and the above-ground parts grow slowly.

Key points of planting and management of Polygonatum odoratum

1. Lighting:

Polygonatum odoratum does not like strong light, and strong direct light will cause a certain degree of harm to it. However, diffuse light will promote its growth, so it can be placed in a place with sufficient diffuse light. When the light is very strong, it can be moved to a cool place.

2. Watering:

Polygonatum odoratum is a plant that likes moisture, but it cannot be too waterlogged or waterlogged. Therefore, during its growth season, try to keep the substrate in a semi-moist state, without waterlogging. This is most beneficial to its growth.

3. Fertilization:

If there is enough base fertilizer mixed in the soil, then no additional fertilizer is needed during its growth period. If the base fertilizer is insufficient, fertilizer can be applied once a month, but no fertilizer is needed during high temperature periods and in winter.
