The Latest Phyllanthus emblica Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial
Phyllanthus emblica is a small tropical tree, also called oil emblica, sweet-return, etc. The main part of Phyllanthus emblica used is the fruit, and the medicinal value of Phyllanthus emblica fruit is relatively high. It has various effects such as strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is a plant that combines food and medicinal uses. So how should Phyllanthus emblica be planted? Below, the editor brings you the planting techniques for Phyllanthus emblica. Let's take a look together!.
1. Site selection and land preparation
Phyllanthus emblica has relatively strong adaptability for growth. However, it likes to grow in a warm environment. Because it is a tropical plant, it should not be planted in a low-temperature environment. Moreover, if you want to improve the yield and quality of Phyllanthus emblica, it is best to choose deep, loose, sufficiently fertile, well-aerated, slightly acidic soil. Then plow the soil about 20 cm deep to improve soil quality and promote the growth of Phyllanthus emblica. Then apply sufficient decomposed farmyard manure as base fertilizer, and make beds about 22 cm high ready for planting.
2. Seed treatment
After the Phyllanthus emblica fruit matures, harvest it, then put the fruits together to let the peel rot, and then take out the seeds. Wash the pulp on the surface of the seeds clean, place them in a cool place to dry in the shade, then store the seeds in a cool, moist sand environment, and sow in the spring of the following year. However, before sowing, soak the seeds in warm water at about 45 degrees for one day for germination. Then control the plant spacing and row spacing before sowing. After sowing, cover with soil and straw, water, and do a good job of shading and moisture retention. After about one month, the seeds germinate. After about half of the seeds germinate, uncover the rice straw to promote upright growth of the seedlings.
3. Seedling stage management
When the seedlings grow about 5 pairs of leaves, begin topdressing, about once a week, appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer according to the growth of the seedlings, and reduce the frequency. Then cultivate rootstock in preparation for grafting. Grafting should be carried out in summer, which can improve the grafting survival rate. About 2-3 weeks after grafting, remove sprouts in time, check the survival status of the grafted seedlings, and re-graft the grafted seedlings that have not survived. When the scion grows its first new leaf, begin fertilizing, also once a week, similar to the topdressing principle for seedlings. When the grafted seedlings grow about 3 rounds of branches and shoots and are fully mature, they can be planted out.
4. Timely planting out
First, we need to dig planting holes according to the planting quantity and control the planting density. The size and depth of the planting holes should be determined according to the root condition of the seedlings. When planting out, ensure that the seedling roots can fully spread out and extend straight, and do not plant too deep. While spreading the roots, cover with soil to ensure the roots can fully extend. Then press the soil lightly to increase the contact area between the roots and the soil, and ensure the seedlings are vertical to the ground. After planting out, tidy the tree basin, then water thoroughly once, cover with rice straw and do a good job of moisture retention, strengthen management, and improve the survival rate after planting out.
The above is a brief introduction to Phyllanthus emblica planting techniques. The planting of Phyllanthus emblica can develop continuously over a long period, but the current planting prospects are not very good, so everyone must consider carefully before planting. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
