How to Choose and Prepare the Site for Licorice Cultivation? Detailed Technical Points
Licorice has a very strong rhizome sprouting ability, extending horizontally beneath the soil surface around the old plant; one licorice plant can produce dozens of new plants within a few years. Under artificial cultivation, 3 years after sowing, new plants can be seen growing 3-4 meters away from the mother plant. Its vertical rhizome can also develop roots. The depth of the root system varies with soil texture and the depth of the groundwater table, generally within the range of 1-2 meters, sometimes reaching more than 10 meters, using the deep root system to absorb groundwater and adapt to arid environmental conditions.
