How to cultivate red horse hoof grass

1. Soil

Red horse hoof grass is more suitable for planting in loose soil with good drainage and at an altitude of 350 to 2100 meters. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to variety degeneration and slow growth.

2. Temperature

It likes warm environments and can tolerate slight chill. 22 degrees Celsius to 28 degrees Celsius is the most suitable temperature for its growth. During the winter period, breeding needs to be done in a greenhouse.

3. Lighting

It has strong adaptability and can tolerate shade. It is best to plant it in semi-sun or shaded areas, which can increase its medicinal value and speed up its growth. Avoid long-term direct sunlight, and shading should be done in advance during the high temperature period in summer

4. Fertilization

Top dressing should be done in time according to its growth conditions. When top dressing, the ratio of decomposed cake fertilizer to diluted manure should be about 1:20. Low-concentration compound fertilizer can also be used.

5. Watering

A relatively humid environment is beneficial to its health, and it is essential to spray water mist around it regularly for humidification. Daily watering can be controlled to watering once every 4-5 days. During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to prevent root disorder and root rot.

6. Notes

1. Other weeds should be removed in time and herbicides should not be sprayed.

2. Attention should be paid to timely disinfection of the soil. Chemical pesticides such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and carbendazim can be used for disease prevention and control.
