Cultivation methods and precautions of Perilla

1. Soil

Perilla has good adaptability to soil, but the most suitable soil is sandy soil with good drainage. It grows poorly in heavy clay soil. When planting, be sure to choose loose soil, preferably soil of good quality and fertile.

2. Water

It has a very high demand for water during its growth period, so it is important to ensure adequate water every day. It requires relatively high air humidity and grows well in an environment of 75%-80%. If the air and growing environment are too dry, its branches and leaves will become hard and the quality will be greatly reduced.

3. Lighting

It prefers sunlight, and more sunlight exposure is also helpful for its growth, so when planting, try to place it in a sunny place. If the sun is scorching in the summer, it still needs shade, otherwise it will get sunburned.

IV. Precautions

Even though it has a relatively high requirement for water, attention should still be paid to drainage during the rainy season. It is strictly forbidden to be irrigated or soaked by rainwater, which will cause root and leaf rot. It has a great demand for light. If the plant grows very slowly, it is probably because the growth temperature is too low.
