How to plant Acorus gramineus? Detailed soil cultivation method
Acorus gramineus is a relatively common ground cover plant in daily life. It is evergreen and glossy, with strong vitality, able to adapt to moist and shaded environments, and has fairly good horticultural value today. In addition, the rhizome of Acorus gramineus is often used for medicinal purposes, with quite good effects. So, how do you plant Acorus gramineus? Below is an introduction for fellow gardeners to the soil cultivation method of Acorus gramineus:
1. Acorus gramineus prefers a cool and moist climate and a damp, shaded environment. It is cold-hardy and intolerant of drought. It is best cultivated in sandy loam from marshland or land with convenient irrigation, or in loam rich in humus.
2. Acorus gramineus is propagated by rhizomes. Dig out the rhizomes in spring, select small rhizomes with fibrous roots and leaves as seeds, and spray the stem blocks with Xinguozhimu (new high-fat film) before sowing. It can be mixed with seed coating agents to repel underground pests and isolate viral infections. After planting, cover with soil and press firmly.
3. During the growing period after planting Acorus gramineus, take care to pull out weeds around the roots, loosen the soil and water it. Never let it dry out. Also apply human feces and urine as topdressing 2 times. Nitrogen fertilizer should be the main type, with an appropriate increase in phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, combined with spraying Xinguozhimu (new high-fat film) to enhance fertilizer efficiency. Also spray the medicinal material Gendaling to promote the transport of leaf photosynthesis products (nutrients) to the root system, improve the nutrient conversion rate and soil-loosening capacity, make the rhizomes expand rapidly, and greatly increase the medicinal content.
4. The pest of Acorus gramineus is the rice locust, which damages the leaves. It can be controlled with a 1000-fold dilution of 90% crystalline trichlorfon. Also spray Xinguozhimu (new high-fat film) to enhance the control effect. In late autumn, do a good job of overwintering cold protection and heat preservation to ensure safe overwintering, so as to guarantee a bumper harvest the following year.
