Planting Methods and Key Technical Points for Dwarf Lilyturf (Ophiopogon japonicus)
Generally, planting is carried out on cloudy days from mid-April to early May each year. Trench planting and hole planting are usually adopted. For trench planting, open trenches 5 cm deep at a row spacing of 15 cm, first apply diluted pig manure water in the trenches, then plant seedlings at a plant spacing of 6-8 cm, with 3 plants per clump; after planting, cover with soil and firm it so that the seedlings stand upright and stable, achieving a level ground surface and upright seedlings. In some areas, for trench planting, trenches 5-6 cm deep are opened on the surface of the bed at a row spacing of about 20 cm, and 1-2 seedlings are planted in the trenches at a plant spacing of 15 cm; after planting, cover with soil and firm it. Use 700 kg of seed seedlings per 667 sq m.
For hole planting, open holes at a row spacing of 25 cm, a plant spacing of 15 cm, and a depth of 3-5 cm. Plant 9-10 seedlings per hole. After planting, cover the base of the seedlings with soil and firm it, then water with rooting water after planting. Use 500 kg of seed seedlings per 667 sq m.
