The growth environment and local conditions of Poria cocos

Poria cocos growth environment and conditions

Poria cocos is more suitable for growing in warm areas. When caring for it, it needs sufficient sunlight. It is more common in mountainous areas with higher altitudes. It is generally distributed in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. Its place of origin is in Anhui, Yunnan and Hubei.

Poria cocos growth conditions

Poria cocos is a facultative parasite that generally grows in areas with sufficient sunlight. When planting, sandy soil is needed, which is more conducive to its growth and development, and there must be sufficient water environment.

Poria cocos growth temperature

When Poria cocos is growing, the temperature needs to be kept between 22-28 degrees so that its spores will germinate. Between 18-35 degrees, the mycelium will grow normally. Between 25-30 degrees, its growth rate will be faster.

Growth process of Poria cocos

After the spores of Poria cocos germinate, Poria cocos mycelium is formed. In its industrial cultivation process, the "seeds" usually used are the mycelium of Poria cocos. When the mycelium grows on the culture medium or culture material and absorbs nutrients from the culture medium or culture material, it will reach physiological maturity and turn from white to brown-red.

Time and method of planting Poria cocos

The planting time of Poria cocos is generally determined according to the climate and environment at the time, but it is usually planted in May and June. The climate and environment at that time are more suitable for growth. When planting, it is necessary to use suitable strains of fungi, and then plant them in loose and fertile soil. Sufficient light is required during maintenance.
