How many years does Amomum villosum bear fruit?

Introduction to Planting Amomum villosum

Amomum villosum prefers a warm, humid, sunny environment. It is not cold-resistant, but can withstand short-term low temperatures. It will die from freezing at minus 3°C. The annual average temperature in the production area is 19-22°C, the precipitation is above 1000 mm, and the relative air temperature is above 90%. It is not drought-resistant and avoids waterlogging. It needs appropriate shade and likes scattered light. It is distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in China.

The results of Amomum villosum cultivation for several years

If Amomum villosum is planted this year, it will bring returns next year. Amomum villosum should be planted in fertile, loose, well-drained sandy loam or light clay loam rich in organic matter. It can be planted on hillsides, valleys, and plains with high humidity and convenient drainage and irrigation. Sandy soil and heavy clay are not suitable for use.

If Amomum villosum is planted in mountainous areas, it is necessary to reclaim land in advance, remove weeds and cut down too many shade trees. If there are not enough shade trees, attention should be paid to replanting. At the same time, ditches should be dug while reclaiming land, and drainage measures should be taken to prevent drought and flooding.

Why doesn't Amomum villosum bear fruit?

The reason why Amomum villosum does not bear fruit may be due to natural disasters, such as frost damage during or before flowering, or damage by pests such as bud maggots and beetles before flowering. If the prevention and control are not thorough, it will seriously affect the fruit setting. Improper fertilizer and water management will also affect the results.

Key points for planting Amomum villosum

After planting Amomum villosum, before it blooms, it needs to be shaded and not placed under strong light. It needs to be weeded 5-8 times a year. During the growth period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied, and nitrogen fertilizer should be increased appropriately. Fertilize 3-4 times from February to October each year. Pay attention to watering regularly to keep the soil moist.

When Amomum villosum enters the flowering period, sufficient light is required and an average shade of 50% is sufficient. However, in sandy soil with poor water retention and dry soil, the shade should be maintained at about 70%, and weeding should be carried out twice a year.
