How to grow water dropwort? Mastering these cultivation key points is crucial

(1) Land preparation: choose a plot with strong water retention capacity and a supplementary water source, apply decomposed organic fertilizer as base fertilizer, rake level and refine the soil for later use.

(2) Division propagation: water dropwort prefers cool conditions and fears heat. After April, as temperatures rise, water dropwort grows poorly. At this time, choose a shaded, relatively cool plot as the summer seed plant field. Keep the field water merely moist; you can also build a frame and cover it with a shade net to help lower the temperature. When the weather turns cool in September, pull up the seed plants, divide them into small plantlets with roots, and transplant them into the main field. The plant spacing is 30 cm x 30 cm.

(3) Field management: in addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer, generally topdress with urea once every half month, 7-10 kg per mu. This is generally done in combination with harvesting, applying fertilizer after harvest. As the water dropwort grows, gradually deepen the water layer to promote tender growth. Normally maintain a 3 cm water layer; before harvest the water layer can be deepened to 20 cm, and after harvest the water layer should be lowered.
