Cultivation methods and precautions of Ophiopogon japonicus

How to cultivate Ophiopogon japonicus

Ophiopogon japonicus can be planted as soon as it is harvested. When we plant Ophiopogon japonicus, we usually choose a sunny evening or a cloudy day when the sunlight is not too strong. We only need to plant the Ophiopogon japonicus seedlings in the prepared soil. Note that when planting the seedlings, the roots should be as vertical as possible to the ground. After planting, tamp the soil to make the roots of the Ophiopogon japonicus closely combined with the soil. Then water it immediately to establish the seedlings.

It takes about fifteen days after planting the seedlings to confirm that they have survived. At this time, we need to loosen the soil and weed. After that, choose a sunny day every month to carry out weeding.

Ophiopogon japonicus requires more fertilizer, so we need to fertilize it reasonably. Generally, we should fertilize it three times a year, in July, August and November.

Ophiopogon japonicus requires a lot of water, so it needs to be watered in time. Ophiopogon japonicus prefers a cool and humid environment, so we must pay attention to shading it when planting it.

Precautions for planting Ophiopogon japonicus

Ophiopogon japonicus requires a lot of water during its growth period. Increasing the amount of watering during its growth period will help the tubers of Ophiopogon japonicus to expand.

Ophiopogon japonicus also needs sufficient light. Light is very important during the tuber expansion period, and sufficient sunlight must be given during this period.

Ophiopogon japonicus has special requirements for the soil. It should be planted in sandy soil with good drainage and sufficient fertility. The soil should be kept at a slightly alkaline pH and the viscosity of the soil should not be too high, which will help the growth of Ophiopogon japonicus tubers.
