2. Seedling raising: for the germination rate of spiderflower, you can first let it grow in a seedling tray, then transplant it into the soil. Because the seedlings need plenty of moisture, pay attention to controlling the water supply.
3. Planting time: for the seedlings to grow smoothly, do not choose a relatively cold time. Generally, May to June each year is more suitable, and the temperature should be kept between 15°C and 25°C.
4. Fertilizing: during the growth of spiderflower, the most critical thing is sufficient fertilizer. We can fertilize spiderflower about every two weeks. It is best to use organic compound fertilizer, or farmyard manure, which will provide its nutrients even better.
5. Harvesting: in order for spiderflower to reach the market fresh and tender, it should be completed as quickly as possible within one week, otherwise it easily grows too old, which affects the taste and relatively lowers the price.

Common Disease Control Methods for Spiderflower
1. Spiderflower is mainly harmed by cabbage aphids, so as early as when planting we should spread lime in the soil. This can prevent eggs from hatching and gnawing the leaves.
2. If a large number of aphids have already been found eating spiderflower, you can also use an aphid-killing spray. Remember to dilute it about 2500 times, so as to avoid pesticide residue on the leaves as much as possible. However, spiderflower is a plant with relatively few pests, so there is no need to worry too much.
Spiderflower has high medicinal value and can kill parasites in the stomach and intestines. It can be used not only on people but also on livestock. Besides being taken internally, spiderflower can also be mashed and applied to rheumatic arthritis, which can effectively relieve pain. Some hemorrhoid medicines also contain spiderflower ingredients, which shows that its effect is indeed very obvious.
