Cultivation methods and precautions of Shilongrui

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: When cultivating Dandelion, it is generally recommended to choose fertile, loose and well-breathable soil for planting.

2. Water: Dandelion prefers a humid and mild environment, and the soil should always be kept moist. Especially in summer time. Water it frequently so that it can fully absorb water. During the rainy season, timely drainage and waterlogging are necessary to avoid root rot.

3. Nutrients: When applying fertilizer, chicken, duck, pig, and human feces are generally used, and the frequency is about once every thirty days. When applying fertilizer, be careful not to apply it to the roots of the plant, as this will cause burns.

4. Light: Shilongrui does not like a growing environment with strong light. When cultivating it, pay attention to shade protection and avoid strong sunlight, which will cause sunburn to its stems and leaves.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: After planting, you should weed and loosen the soil from time to time, and prune off the old branches and leaves. This will help promote the absorption of nutrients by new branches.

2. Reproduction: Shilongrui is generally propagated by seeds. Select healthy seeds and dry them in the sun. When the surface is somewhat dry, spread them evenly in nutrient-rich soil. Then sprinkle a thin layer of hay on it and spray some water on the surface. New sprouts will grow in about half a month.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Pests: The most common pests in growing Scutellaria are underground pests. At this time, use poison bait to lure and kill them. If they are not dealt with in time, they will bite the roots of the seedlings.

2. Diseases: Common diseases include dry leaf disease. The formation of dry leaf disease is generally caused by high temperature, low humidity and drought. When it rains, the temperature is low and the humidity becomes high, and the condition will gradually improve.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: When winter comes, it should be moved indoors and the temperature should not be too high or too low. Also keep the soil moist, water it once in winter, and apply some organic fertilizer appropriately to make it more frost-resistant.

2. Is it poisonous? Shilong is poisonous. You must pay attention to protection when raising it. It is best to raise it in a higher place to avoid it from being touched by babies or pets at home.
