What should be noted when planting Chonglou (Paris polyphylla)? A detailed explanation of the latest cultivation points
None of us is unfamiliar with the term Chonglou, because in a very popular TV drama a few years ago there was a character named Chonglou, and everyone felt very sorry for him, but what I am introducing to you today is not this Chonglou. The Chonglou I want to tell you about today is a medicinal herb, and it is itself toxic, but the toxicity is not great, and its effects are very broad, and its economic value is also fairly good. Nowadays many people also grow Chonglou, so today Qinnongwang will tell you what needs to be noted when growing Chonglou.
1. Variety
The choice of superior or inferior varieties determines the level of yield and quality of Chonglou, so the choice of variety is very crucial. There are currently many varieties of Chonglou, so we need to choose varieties that grow quickly, are easy to plant, have high yield, good quality and strong resistance. Here I recommend two relatively good varieties for your reference, namely powdery Dian Chonglou and powdery Hua Chonglou. These two varieties are really quite good.
2. Soil
The choice of soil for planting Chonglou is the basic condition for its growth. Choosing suitable soil will make the survival rate of Chonglou and later management and other aspects much better. The most suitable land for growing Chonglou is slightly acidic soil or sandy soil. In fact, the main point is that the soil should have good permeability, strong infiltration capacity, loose texture, and sufficient nutrients. Valleys or forest areas without direct sunlight are all very good choices.
3. Temperature
Chonglou's cold resistance is actually quite good, because it can still grow normally in an environment of 2 to 3 degrees, but it is very sensitive to high temperatures, so the maximum temperature should preferably not exceed 32 degrees, otherwise the Chonglou plants will be burned. The most suitable temperature for Chonglou growth is around 20 degrees. At this temperature, Chonglou grows faster and develops better. However, temperature changes in most regions of our country are relatively large, so when planting we need to regulate the planting temperature well through cultivation techniques.
4. Fertilizer and water
Chonglou is a relatively special organism. It likes shady and humid places, but humidity must have a limit, and there must be no water accumulation. If there is water accumulation, it is very easy to cause root rot. Therefore, in water management, what we need to note is that watering should be carried out in Jinhua Warehouse, but the sudden humidity should preferably be maintained at around 70 percent, and secondly, when there is a lot of natural water in the field, drainage should be carried out in time. Chonglou likes soil with more humus. As for fertilizer, we should preferably choose organic humus fertilizer, which is beneficial for maintaining the humus content in the soil and at the same time promotes the growth of Chonglou.
5. Management
⟦NL>Later management is also very important, because the environment where Chonglou grows is relatively fertile and humid, so there will be more weeds, and relatively speaking, pests will also increase. Therefore, we need to pull out weeds in time rather than removing weeds by loosening the soil, which can reduce nutrient loss. Finally, as for pests, we need to pay attention at all times and use low-toxicity biological agents for prevention and control as soon as pests are found, because Chonglou is a medicinal herb, so excessive spraying of agents will affect its quality. Therefore, trapping and killing methods can also be used, and pesticides should only be used when there is really no other way.
