Nephritis herb has extremely high medicinal value, so how do you grow it?

Nephritis herb is a common Chinese herbal medicine in our country, with excellent effects. Since the effects and benefits of nephritis herb are so good, how is it grown? Today, let's take a look together with the editor!

1. Scientific planting

1. The most common methods for nephritis herb are direct seeding and division planting. Plants grown by division establish quickly and have a high survival rate, but this method is not suitable for large-scale planting. Although seed sowing is suitable for large-scale planting needs, the survival speed is slightly slower. Generally, herb farmers directly use seeds for direct seeding, because one planting area is often dozens of mu, and division planting really delays the work.

2. For direct seeding, the main method is drilling. When plowing the land, we should cultivate with a row spacing of about 35 cm between each drill. For division planting, simply plant according to a suitable planting density. Generally, the density for division planting is about 25 cm between plants and about 30 cm between rows.

3. Once the spacing is determined, we sow the seeds into the drills and plant the divided plants into planting holes at a suitable density, then water an appropriate amount, and wait for them to emerge and survive.

2. Field management

After we sow the seeds in the field, with careful care the seeds will fully emerge within about two or three weeks. Division planting survives faster, and generally normal growth occurs in three to five days. During the seedling development and growth period of nephritis herb, we must keep the field humidity within a reasonable range, because the seedlings of nephritis herb are very afraid of drought. During this period, we must keep the ground humidity at about 40 percent. If there is no rainfall, we should water once a day to promote seedling growth, and then when the seedlings grow to a certain extent, carry out thinning and filling in of seedlings.

3. Water and fertilizer management

1. Fertilizing

During the seedling stage of nephritis herb, no fertilizing is needed, because when plowing the land we applied a layer of decomposed farmyard organic fertilizer underground. Applying fertilizer again can easily cause fertilizer damage. Then someone may ask, since fertilizing is not allowed during the seedling stage, when is it more reasonable to fertilize? Actually, the first fertilizing of nephritis herb should be at the time of final planting. When nephritis herb has grown enough to be transplanted, we transplant it together with the original soil into the field. After planting, it is natural to apply some fertilizer, but the fertilizer should mainly be nitrogen fertilizer.

2. Watering

Throughout the entire growth cycle of nephritis herb, we must water irregularly. That means there is no fixed time pattern for watering. As soon as the ground becomes dry, water should be supplemented in time. Then stop watering once the ground is half dry and half wet, to avoid excess water that the plant cannot absorb becoming standing water, thereby affecting the probability of root rot in the plant. The same applies to topdressing. At different growth stages, the fertilizer needs of nephritis herb are different. Generally, the total amount of fertilizer applied throughout the entire growth cycle should not exceed four times.
