Detailed Explanation of the Key Cultivation Techniques for Clematis armandii (Diku Dan)

First choose a plot suitable for planting, then plow, fertilize and level the plot. Then evenly broadcast complete, plump seeds over the plot. After sowing is completed, do a good job of garden management, focusing on checking for missing seedlings and filling gaps, intertillage and fertilizing, irrigation and drainage, and removing flower buds. At the same time, also do a good job of pest and disease control.

Diku Dan cultivation methods:

1. Root division

When harvesting in March to April in spring, cut the underground rhizomes into 10-20 cm small sections and plant them in the soil, sowing in holes with a row spacing of 50 cm and a plant spacing of 25 cm. Pay attention to watering to keep moist; new shoots will emerge after one month.

2. Cuttage

In May, cut the aboveground part into sections; each section must have two to three nodes. Insert the lower one to two nodes into the soil, and cuttage according to the above row spacing and plant spacing. After cutting, pay attention to shading and keeping moist. When the Diku Dan seedlings are one chi tall, set up trellises and weed in time. In mid-June, apply decomposed fertilizer and compound fertilizer. From August to the end of September is the rhizome enlargement period, and foliar spraying of Gendaling can be carried out.

In addition, under wild growing conditions, Diku Dan rarely suffers from pests and diseases. However, during artificial cultivation, attention should be paid to preventing and controlling the invasion of pests and diseases such as brown spot disease, spot blight, southern blight, flower bud flies, mole crickets, ants, and aphids.
