It has many interesting aliases, such as "Nv Qing", "Shan Jiao", "Yang Bu Nai Guo", "Ma Nai Nai", etc. It is widely distributed in China, with plantations in the Northeast, North China, and Northwest regions. The Di Shao Gua herb has strong drought resistance, so can it be grown in the desert?

I. Growth Characteristics
First of all, Di Shao Gua has strong drought resistance and requires very little water to sustain its life activities. However, sunlight plays a vital role in the survival and development of Di Shao Gua.
In addition, suitable soil for the growth of Di Shao Gua is of great significance, and we will discuss this in detail later.
Moreover, Di Shao Gua does not require high temperatures, and a temperature range of 20℃ to 28℃ is sufficient for its growth.
II. Factors Management
1. Water
In terms of distribution, Di Shao Gua is mainly found in many northern provinces of China, where water is relatively scarce. It can grow in relatively water-deficient environments, indicating its strong drought resistance.
Therefore, apart from watering during the vigorous growth period, there is generally no need to consider water too much at other times.
2. Sunlight
As we all know, the Northwest region of China has less precipitation, so the duration of sunlight is relatively long, providing sufficient sunlight for plants. Therefore, what we need to do is to not shade the plants too much and allow Di Shao Gua to enjoy the sunlight.
3. Soil
The main suitable soil for this plant is sandy or gravelly soil. Di Shao Gua mainly grows in arid valleys, sand dunes, and other areas, mainly because the soil in these places is often sandy or gravelly.
