How to cultivate Artemisia selengensis

1. Soil

Artemisia selengensis is suitable for cultivation in fertile, weakly alkaline soil with a pH value of about 7.5. It is best to breed it on the edge of rivers, bushes, forest edges, roadsides, meadows and swamps in areas with medium and low altitudes.

2. Temperature

It is relatively heat-resistant, and around 25 degrees Celsius is most conducive to its growth and health. Attention should be paid to insulation during the winter period. It can be planted in greenhouses and sheds, and the temperature should be controlled not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

3. Fertilization

Fertilization should be carried out in a timely manner and can be applied with water. You can choose to use organic fertilizer or farmyard manure, but avoid using chemical fertilizers to prevent the soil from becoming compacted and airtight, which will affect its growth.

4. Watering

It is a relatively humid environment. The soil should be moistened before sowing seeds, and the leaves should be sprayed frequently after seedlings emerge to prevent withering and death. It is not tolerant to waterlogging, so attention should be paid to drainage to prevent root rot and death.

5. Lighting

Sufficient light supply is required. If conditions permit, it is recommended to use a solar greenhouse for planting, which can achieve year-round cultivation.

6. Notes

1. It has strong disease and insect resistance, and pesticides are generally not sprayed during the growth period.

2. Harvest and seeds should be collected in time. Harvesting too early will result in low yields; harvesting too late will cause it to age, reducing its taste and health value.

3. Weeding should be done in time.
