January 9, 2024

  Yasong is the whole grass with roots of the Sedum plant in the Crassulaceae family. It is mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces in China. It has the function of clearing heat and detoxification. Now let's learn about the cultivation methods of Yasong.


 

  Yasong grows under the trees on the hillside, it is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and loves plenty of sunlight. It can also tolerate some shade and does not have high requirements for soil, but good drainage is necessary.

  Landscape use: It can be used to decorate flower beds, flower gardens, or planted in large areas as ground cover plants for slope protection. It can also be used to embellish rock gardens.

  Cultivation and propagation: It can be propagated by sowing, dividing, and cutting. Both spring and autumn are suitable for dividing, and cutting is a more convenient method of propagation that can be done in the growing season.

  The planting site should be a well-drained sandy loam or a well-exposed sunny area. After the first frost, cut off the aboveground parts of the plant and water with enough frozen water. The plants can safely survive the winter. It is distributed in Jilin, Liaoning, and other provinces in China.

  After planting Yasong, don't think there is nothing to do. On the contrary, dull days are coming. Watering three times a day or more is essential, and every three to five days, spray water mixed with rooting agent. Remember not to spray water at noon.

  After that, insecticide should be applied every ten to fifteen days. Generally, four or five times of insecticide application is enough. During the maintenance period, you will find many small buds on Yasong, but don't get too excited, those are just water sprouts. It is a good sign if these buds can grow into leaves.

  Similarly, new buds may appear on the top of the leaves, which can be considered as a good sign, but it doesn't mean the plant is alive. If not managed properly, it may still die.

  After the Yasong plants have survived, do not immediately put them under the shed. Otherwise, they are very likely to be dead due to excessive light exposure. Let the plants gradually adapt to the sunlight, and slowly open the shed.
