Planting of precious medicinal herbs

1. Planting time

There are many kinds of precious medicinal materials, and the planting time should be determined according to the plant itself. For example, ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc. are suitable for spring breeding, generally from March to April. Panax notoginseng needs to reproduce in winter, and it is better in October and November. There are also plants like angelica, which do not require high planting time and can be planted in spring, autumn and winter.

2. Planting Method

1. Seeding method: All kinds of precious medicinal materials can be propagated by seeding method, such as ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry and angelica. First of all, you should choose plump and mature seeds, which can greatly increase the survival rate. The second is the requirement for the substrate. Generally, loose, fertile and well-drained soil is more suitable for plant growth. When sowing in spring, it should not be too deep, you can cover it with fine soil. If sowing in winter, keep warm to prevent the seeds from freezing to death after germination. After a period of rooting and sprouting, you can basically carry out normal maintenance. Determine the amount of watering or fertilizing based on its habits.

2. Cutting method: The cutting method is only suitable for some plants with strong vitality, such as ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, wolfberry, etc. Cut a strong branch, usually with a few leaves. The length is determined by the plant. For example, ginseng branches should be controlled within 8 cm, while Polygonum multiflorum needs 25 cm, and wolfberry also needs about 20 cm. Then insert the branches one-third to one-half of the way into the soil and compact the soil. If it is ginseng and wolfberry, there is no need to fertilize immediately, but for Polygonum multiflorum, you can fertilize it appropriately.
