What are the latest planting precautions for Acorus tatarinowii?

Acorus tatarinowii, also called medicinal Acorus, belongs to the Acorus genus in the Araceae family. It is also an important Chinese medicinal herb, and its main medicinal value lies in its rhizome. Moreover, the appearance of Acorus tatarinowii is also very lovely, and its ornamental value is also extremely high. Many parks grow it, and now as a potted plant it is also very popular. So what problems need to be considered when planting Acorus tatarinowii on a large scale? Next, let us see how the editor will introduce it to everyone.

1. Soil selection

Acorus tatarinowii likes shady, humid environments. Wild Acorus tatarinowii generally grows near streams or marshes. Therefore, when choosing a planting site, we should choose according to its growth habits. The most critical point is sufficient water sources, so marshland, wetland, and loam or sandy loam with convenient irrigation and rich humus can all be planted.

2. Daily light

Acorus tatarinowii is shade-tolerant and afraid of strong light, so daily light is also a point worth noting. If the planting site is a sunny area, then a shade shed needs to be built immediately after planting. The shade shed is best made semi-transparent, so that there is still some light and Acorus tatarinowii can carry out photosynthesis, thereby growing better. Under no circumstances should Acorus tatarinowii be exposed to strong light, otherwise it will burn the leaf surface and cause the plant to wither.

3. Temperature management

The growth of Acorus tatarinowii has certain requirements for temperature. Although it likes a cool environment, the temperature of the planting site must not be lower than 4 degrees, otherwise the plant will be frostbitten. But it is also not tolerant of high temperatures. The planting temperature should preferably not be higher than 28 degrees, and the most suitable growth temperature is between 10 and 18 degrees. Then we can use modern planting techniques to achieve the effect of regulating temperature.

4. Dense planting situation

When planting Acorus tatarinowii, in order to increase its yield and reduce the difficulty of later field management, during planting we will plant according to a scientific density. The planting density should not be too large, otherwise the planting site will be relatively stuffy, and the ventilation effect will be extremely poor, which will seriously affect the growth of Acorus tatarinowii. The planting density is generally about 30 cm for both plant spacing and row spacing.

5. Water and fertilizer requirements

Acorus tatarinowii is a plant that likes moisture, so its demand for water is relatively large. Therefore, during the planting process, the field soil generally needs to be thoroughly moist. The soil humidity is generally around 90 percent, and basically watering once every two days at most is enough. Acorus tatarinowii does not have a very large demand for nutrients, and later topdressing is also relatively simple; there is no need for us to apply too much fertilizer. Basically, applying liquid fertilizer once every half month is enough, and at other times fertilization is generally not needed, unless the growth of Acorus tatarinowii is poor and yellow leaves frequently appear. Only then is it necessary to increase the number of topdressings.

Now there are relatively few people planting Acorus tatarinowii on a large scale, but in recent years market demand has changed greatly. Acorus tatarinowii mostly appears in everyone's view as a flower plant, but part of the demand still comes from medicinal materials. The editor's sharing ends here, and I hope it can help everyone.
