How to breed deer medicine

1. Soil

Deer medicine is more suitable for cultivation in wetlands with deep soil, medium soil fertility and loose soil. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to the degeneration of the variety, reduced medicinal properties and slow growth.

2. Temperature

It is a thermophilic plant, and an environment of 20-25℃ is most suitable for its growth. The seeds of deer medicine have dormancy characteristics, and it is somewhat difficult to germinate, and low temperature stratification is required to break the dormancy. The temperature needs to be controlled before planting. It is relatively afraid of cold, so frost damage should be prevented in advance in winter.

3. Lighting

It is more suitable for growing in shady and moist places such as under forests, beside bushes, in wetlands, and beside water. It is not suitable for long-term strong sunlight and appropriate shading should be provided during the summer.

4. Fertilization

Fertilizers containing N, K, Ca and other ingredients should be applied according to specific circumstances. If top dressing is not carried out in time, its medicinal value will be greatly reduced and may even cause death.

5. Watering

A slightly humid environment is beneficial to its health, and the surrounding environment should be kept moist. Normally, you can spray the surrounding area 10-15 times and water it once every 6-8 days. After the temperature rises suddenly, the frequency of watering should be appropriately increased. During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to prevent root rot and death.

6. Notes

1. The surrounding weeds should be removed in time to prevent their nutrients from being robbed.

2. Pay attention to preventing common diseases and disinfect the soil in time.
