Long grass is the whole plant of the grass-like plant, Eragrostis kansui, which belongs to the Poaceae family. It is known as a good medicine for treating diseases, and when brewed into water, it has a sweet taste and excellent heat-clearing and detoxifying effects. So how do we cultivate long grass?
Long grass is mainly used in medicine for its heat-clearing, detoxifying, diuretic, and analgesic effects. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as difficult urination, yellow water blisters, nephritis edema, dizziness, toothache, nosebleeds, and sore throat. It is indeed a valuable medicine for treating diseases.
Due to its milky white color, strong elasticity, and long fibers, long grass is also used in the production of high-quality paper materials, ropes, and premium household fillings.
With the development of biotechnology, long grass is now being used in biopulping technology. Compared to traditional pulping methods, biopulping has significant advantages in terms of environmental pollution, production capacity, and quality.
The soil for cultivating long grass has certain requirements. It needs to be loose and fertile in order for the roots of the long grass to grow better and become lush.
Long grass requires a relatively high amount of sunlight, so when planting it at home, it should be placed in a location with sunlight exposure.
Proper watering is also necessary. It is best to water it once a day and ensure that the soil remains moist to promote the vigorous growth of long grass.
Temperature is another factor to consider. It should not be too high or too low. It is best to cultivate long grass in a place with diffused light and control the indoor temperature appropriately.
