The cultivation method and precautions of Xiebai

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Xiebai is not very demanding on the soil. Fertile and breathable soil is the best, and loose sandy loam is most suitable for growing Xiebai.

2. Water: During the growth period, Allium macrostemon has a high demand for water. Keeping the soil moist for a long time is beneficial to its growth. However, the amount of water for irrigation should be appropriate. Too much water will lead to lower yields.

3. Nutrients: Before planting Allium macrostemon, you should first sprinkle a layer of base fertilizer on the soil, and then turn the soil over, so that it can grow better.

4. Light: Allium macrostemon is a long-day plant. Adequate light absorption can accelerate growth and development, but when the light is too strong in summer, appropriate shade should be provided.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: After planting Allium macrostemon, you should loosen the soil appropriately, remove weeds, and trim the dry leaf tips, which can promote the absorption of nutrients by Allium macrostemon.

2. Reproduction: Seed propagation is usually used, around August. Select plump seeds and soak them in water for about four hours. The water temperature should be controlled at 50 degrees Celsius and the room temperature should be controlled at 20 degrees Celsius. Then put it in the soil and spray some water to increase the germination rate.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Thrips: Thrips are a common pest in the cultivation of Allium macrostemon. If thrips are not controlled in time, it will have a great impact on its growth. Insecticides can be used to spray them.

2. Root rot: If the amount of water is too abundant during watering, water will accumulate in the soil for a long time, which will cause the roots of Allium macrostemon to rot and affect its normal growth. Therefore, the amount of water should be controlled when watering.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: Before winter, the strong seedlings should be stored. Dig a 20-centimeter-deep trench. Before freezing, dig the seedlings out and put them in the pit. Cover them with soil and wait until spring to plant them.
