Key Points of Golden Flower Hibiscus Cultivation Techniques and a Detailed Guide to Planting Methods
Golden Flower Hibiscus, also known as Cai Furong, Wild Furong and so on, is an annual herbaceous plant in the Malvaceae family. Golden Flower Hibiscus combines medicinal and edible uses, and has various effects such as clearing heat and cooling blood, and reducing inflammation and relieving pain. It is mainly used to treat edema, scalds and so on, and its nutritional value is also very rich, making it very popular in China. So how should Golden Flower Hibiscus be planted? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation techniques for Golden Flower Hibiscus. Let's take a look!
1. Site selection and land preparation
Golden Flower Hibiscus has strong growth ability and a well-developed root system, and can adapt to various soils. However, if you want to grow Golden Flower Hibiscus with high yield and high quality, you still need to choose a plot with deep soil, sufficient fertility and normal drainage and irrigation. Golden Flower Hibiscus should not be planted in pitted or waterlogged places, otherwise it is prone to rot, which affects the growth of Golden Flower Hibiscus. After selecting the site, do a good job of land preparation, carry out deep plowing and medium tillage, apply sufficient decomposed base fertilizer, and then make beds ready for sowing. Pay attention to the specifications of the beds, with a width and height of about 20*20 cm, to facilitate planting management.
2. Timely sowing
The growth period of Golden Flower Hibiscus is about 4-5 months. After preparing the land, control the sowing time according to the weather in the planting area and factors such as the variety. For example, in the southeast region of China, the suitable sowing time is around April. The seeds of Golden Flower Hibiscus have relatively strong germination ability, but to ensure the germination rate, we still need to carry out germination promotion work before planting. First, select plump seeds with no obvious wounds and no pests or diseases, then soak the seeds in warm water at about 30 degrees for about 24 hours. Remove them, wipe them dry, wrap them in a wet cloth, and place them at a temperature of about 26-28 degrees for germination promotion. When more than 50% of the seeds have sprouted, they can be sown.
3. Sowing and raising seedlings
The main method for raising Golden Flower Hibiscus seedlings is raising seedlings in nutrient pots. First, choose a seedling tray of suitable specifications, then fill the seedling tray with nutrient soil and water it thoroughly. After the water seeps down, place one seed in each seedling cell. After sowing, cover with fine soil and spray water appropriately to improve the moisture retention capacity of the nutrient soil. After watering, cover with a layer of plastic film, strengthen management, and appropriately build small arched sheds to promote seed germination. When about 75% of the seeds have germinated, the plastic film can be uncovered, and when the seedlings grow to about 3 leaves and 1 heart, they can be planted out.
4. Field management
Before planting out, do a good job of land preparation for the field to be planted, carry out deep plowing and ridging, apply sufficient base fertilizer, weed appropriately, control the planting density well, and use the row planting method for planting out. After planting out, do a good job of field management and water in time. Golden Flower Hibiscus has a relatively large plant type and a relatively large demand for water. Therefore, do a good job of watering, then apply additional fertilizer appropriately according to the soil fertility status and the growth status of the plants, to meet the nutritional needs of Golden Flower Hibiscus growth. Finally, do a good job of plant adjustment, medium tillage and weeding, and pest and disease control, to promote the growth of Golden Flower Hibiscus.
The above is a brief introduction to the cultivation techniques of Golden Flower Hibiscus. Golden Flower Hibiscus grows relatively fast and is relatively simple to plant. However, it still requires careful management from us, and doing the basic field work well, to ensure the normal growth of Golden Flower Hibiscus.
