Where is the best place to grow blood vine fruit?

Bloodvine fruit planting conditions

Bloodvine fruit is often distributed in hillside shrubs, sparse forests and forest edges, often at an altitude of hundreds of meters. It likes a warm, humid and sunny environment and is suitable for planting in acidic sandy soil with deep soil layer, loose, fertile and rich in organic matter.

Bloodvine fruit planting climate

Blood vine fruit likes warmth. When the temperature stabilizes at 15 degrees in spring, the plant begins to sprout, stretch branches and spread leaves. When the temperature rises to 18-22 degrees Celsius and there is sufficient sunlight, the nutrients in the plant gradually accumulate, and the flower buds begin to differentiate and grow. When the temperature is 25-28 degrees Celsius, it begins to bloom and bear fruit. The temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, and warming measures need to be taken in the low temperatures of winter.

Bloodvine fruit planting area

Blood vine fruit is distributed in high-altitude areas and is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, organic-rich acidic sandy soil. It is distributed in the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula (Laos and northern Vietnam) and China. In China, it is distributed in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Bloodvine fruit planting time

Blood vine fruit is suitable for sowing in spring. After sowing, the temperature of the seedbed should be controlled at 20-25℃. It can also be propagated by cuttings in March and April in spring when the temperature is stable at 20-25℃.

Key points for planting blood vine fruit

When cultivating blood vine fruit, it is necessary to prepare female plants and male plants to facilitate cross-pollination. Fertilizer and topsoil should be mixed evenly in the soil. When planting, keep the roots of the plants stretched out. After compacting, water them once, and cover them with soil after the water seeps down to isolate the moisture.

In addition to strengthening fertilizer and water management during the growth period, pruning and shaping are also required. Before spring budding, short fruiting branches and dead branches should be pruned away, and 8 to 12 buds should be left on long fruiting branches. In summer, inner branches, overlapping branches and diseased and insect-infested branches should be pruned away, and overly dense new branches should be shortened.
