1. Basic Introduction

Solanum nigrum is an annual herb belonging to the Solanaceae family. It is also called bitter vegetable and bitter vegetable. It is mainly distributed in southern my country such as Yunnan and Guangxi. Solanum nigrum is a delicate herb, about one hundred centimeters tall, with basically five centimeters on the rhizome, oval leaves, white umbrella-shaped inflorescences, small flowers, and black-purple spherical fruits.

2. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Solanum nigrum is suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature of 22 to 30 degrees Celsius, and when it blooms, it is suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius.

2. Soil: Solanum nigrum has high requirements for soil, but it needs to grow in soil rich in organic matter, water and fertility in order to grow well. If it grows in clay soil with poor ventilation and little organic matter, it will easily lead to poor development.

3. Light: Solanum sparsely flowered prefers an environment with sufficient light. It is shade-tolerant, but cannot be deprived of light for long periods of time. During its growing and flowering periods, it needs to get enough sunlight, but the light should not be too strong.

4. Watering: Be sure to water Solanum sparsely flowered in moderation. It is afraid of both waterlogging and drought, so the amount of watering must be controlled. When it is cold in winter, you should pay more attention to controlling the amount of water.

5. Fertilization: For large-scale planting of Solanum nigrum, it is sufficient to fertilize once every ten days. Fertilization is mainly foliar fertilizer, and additional fertilizer is needed after harvesting.

3. Maintenance Tips

1. Seedling propagation: Solanum nigrum has high requirements for soil, so you should choose a relatively fertile, organic-rich and loose soil as the seedbed. Water thoroughly before sowing, then mix the seeds with fine sand and evenly mix them. After sowing, cover them with a layer of soil about 0.5 cm thick. Keep the soil moist enough and the seedlings will emerge in about 5 to 7 days.

2. Pruning and pinching: When the plant grows to about 8 to 10 nodes, the top can be pinched off to allow the side buds enough space to grow. Wait until the side buds are about 20 centimeters long before pruning, leaving only 5 centimeters to promote the growth of new branches. Dead leaves also need to be removed in time.

3. Appropriate top dressing: In order to keep the new branches fresh and tender, and to encourage them to continue to grow new buds, top dressing is required after each harvest to promote their growth and development. This can also enhance its disease resistance and improve the quality of Solanum nigrum.
