Environmental conditions and characteristics of water chestnut growth

Environmental conditions and requirements for water chestnut growth

Water chestnut is a specialty vegetable that can be eaten raw, cooked or used in dishes. Water chestnuts need high temperatures and long days when growing. Water chestnuts are not frost-resistant and generally prefer to grow in warm, humid places with long sunshine hours.

Water chestnut growth temperature

Water chestnut likes warmth and is a perennial herbaceous aquatic plant. The most suitable growth temperature for water chestnut is around 25-30 degrees. When the ambient temperature reaches 15 degrees, it will begin to sprout. Generally, lower temperatures are more conducive to the formation of bulbs.

Water chestnut growth humidity

Water chestnuts like a humid environment. Generally, when watering, you should adhere to the principle of "better to be wet than dry". When watering, you should also be careful not to water too much. Generally, as long as the soil is relatively moist, it will be fine. In summer when the water evaporates faster, you need to increase the frequency of watering.

Water chestnut growing soil

Water chestnuts have strong adaptability and relatively high requirements for soil. They are generally more suitable for planting in soft, fertile, shallow sandy loam or humus soil. They can also be planted in fertile pond mud.

Water chestnut growth cycle and process

The growth cycle of water chestnuts is relatively long, generally taking 7 or 8 months. It is generally more appropriate to start raising seedlings from mid-March to late April in spring, and then transplant them in July in autumn. Then the water chestnuts will mature in mid-to-late December in winter.
