How to cultivate Belamcanda chinensis

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Warmth is most suitable for it, which can be kept between 15 and 28 degrees. In addition, due to its strong ability to withstand cold, special measures are generally not required in winter, except in very northern areas. However, try not to keep the temperature too high, as it will affect its growth to a certain extent.

2. Light: Belamcanda dahurica likes light, so good sunlight is needed. When it grows fastest, try to maintain sufficient light time to meet its requirements. However, in summer, try to provide some shade, especially at noon.

3. Watering: Belamcanda chinensis cannot tolerate waterlogging. Therefore, not only should you avoid watering too much at normal times, which will cause water accumulation, but you must also pay attention to timely drainage during the plum rains or other times when there is heavy rain.

4. Fertilization: In order to promote the growth of Belamcanda oleifera, an appropriate amount of fertilizer is indispensable. Generally speaking, the time for top dressing is March and June. In addition, before entering winter, a certain amount of fertilizer can be mixed into the soil.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Belamcanda chinensis is generally propagated on a large area and can be propagated by sowing. The germination rate is relatively high, generally around 90 percent. It can be sown in spring, around the Qingming Festival, or from September to October. The plant spacing can be 25 cm, and the row spacing can be 30 cm. Five or six seeds can be sown in each hole. Cover the soil after sowing, water it in time, and cover it with some grass to keep warm and moisturize.

2. Pruning: The first step is to top the tree, which can concentrate nutrients on its roots and stems, effectively increasing the yield by about 10%. Then, when its leaves wither, they need to be cut off in time to avoid consuming too much nutrients.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: There may be "rust disease", which can occur in the seedling stage as well as the adult stage, and is particularly serious during the ball season. It can be prevented and treated with sodium dithiocarb, and it can be cured in two or three times. In addition, herbicides need to be sprayed regularly.

2. Pests: There are not many types of pests. Just spray pesticides as soon as they appear and eliminate them immediately while their numbers are small.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: One of its characteristics is that it is slightly toxic. However, it is also a good medicinal herb.

2. Can it be raised at home? It is usually grown in large areas and not raised alone at home.
