Grow a pot of Isatis indigotica at home to prevent colds and save money on medicine
This recent wave of cold air has arrived with a vengeance, and I believe quite a few flower lovers have already caught a cold. Autumn and winter are naturally seasons when flu is common, so in daily life you must be sure to add more clothing to prevent colds. Speaking of preventing colds, I believe quite a few flower lovers keep Isatis indigotica at home, as it is a good medicine for preventing colds!
However, what we usually keep at home is Isatis indigotica granules. I wonder if everyone knows that Isatis indigotica can also be grown? We can plant a pot of Isatis indigotica in a flowerpot; not only is it lush and green and very pleasing to look at, but it can also help prevent colds. Now even the money spent on medicine can be saved!
Isatis indigotica itself is a herbaceous plant, and its main effect is to clear heat and detoxify, which is also the reason it is used as a cold medicine. In the past, when we caught a cold we mostly bought a box of Isatis indigotica granules. They were not expensive, but the treatment effect was excellent. Now quite a few farmers have begun to grow Isatis indigotica; picking a little to eat can prevent colds and flu, how convenient is that. Next, let's learn together with Huahua about the method of growing Isatis indigotica!
When we grow Isatis indigotica, we generally use the sowing method, because this gives a relatively high survival rate and the yield is also considerable. Isatis indigotica seeds are generally sold on the market, and interested flower lovers can go buy some. Before sowing, we can first soak the seeds in water, which serves to speed up germination, and afterward rooting and sprouting will also be faster.
Isatis indigotica has very low requirements for the growing soil; even ordinary saline-alkali land can grow it very well. Because Isatis indigotica grows quickly and has relatively deep roots, when planting it is best to choose a larger flowerpot, which saves the trouble of repotting later. Next, when sowing we should pay attention to the spacing, and we can also apply a little organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer. After planting is finished, water a little, place it in diffused light, and then you can wait for it to take root.
The daily care steps for Isatis indigotica are very simple. It likes light, so when growing it at home remember to maintain sufficient light every day; the more sufficient the light, the better it will naturally grow. However, when watering Isatis indigotica, be careful not to water too much. It is better to let it be a little dry than to cause water accumulation in the pot, otherwise if the roots rot, all this hard work will have been wasted.
During the growth period, you can regularly apply a little diluted fertilizer water to ensure nutrients. There is nothing else to pay attention to in other respects. Caring for a potted Isatis indigotica is just that simple and straightforward. Isatis indigotica, now a very popular wild vegetable, has many benefits when grown at home. Interested friends can try it at home according to Huahua's method.
