What are the cultivation methods and precautions of Panax notoginseng?

Panax notoginseng introduction

Panax notoginseng is an herbaceous plant of the Araliaceae family and a traditional Chinese medicine. When it is propagated, three methods are generally used, namely division propagation, sowing propagation, and cutting propagation. Among these three methods, cutting propagation is the most commonly used because it has a faster rooting speed and the highest survival rate.

Panax notoginseng cultivation method

When Panax notoginseng is growing, it is generally planted in a relatively warm environment. It is not very cold-resistant and is also afraid of waterlogging. The temperature needs to be kept at around 16 degrees at ordinary times, and there must be sufficient sunlight, so that it can grow well. When planting, you can use relatively loose soil.

Watering method

Panax notoginseng is relatively drought-resistant, so you don’t need to water it too frequently, otherwise it will damage the root system. Normally, watering it 2-3 times a month is enough. You can reduce watering appropriately during the rainy season.

Fertilization method

During the maintenance process of Panax notoginseng, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be applied to make the root system of the plant full and the branches and leaves strong. The amount of fertilizer can be increased from June to September, and additional fertilizer is needed 1-2 times a month.

Pruning methods

Panax notoginseng can be properly pruned in winter, and the parts that need to grow lushly can be thinned out appropriately. This will allow it to get more sufficient light in winter and increase its ornamental value. If any yellowing parts are found, they can be cut off to avoid diseases and pests.

Precautions for breeding of Panax notoginseng

1. Panax notoginseng is very cold-resistant and can grow normally in an environment above 0 degrees in winter. If the temperature is below 0 degrees, its leaves will fall off, so you must pay attention to the temperature in winter.

2. Panax notoginseng is a sun-loving plant, but newly planted plants are not suitable for strong light. They should be placed in diffuse light. Perennial plants can be placed in a place with sufficient light, but they still need shade in summer.
