The main part of the female wilting plant used for medicine is the stem. After harvesting in autumn, the above-ground stems are cut into sections and dried for medicinal use. The medicinal efficacy of female wilting is closely related to its cultivation methods. The better the cultivated variety, the higher its medicinal value. Below, we will introduce the cultivation techniques of female wilting!
1. Soil requirements
If you want to cultivate female wilting, it is generally best to choose fertile, well-drained alkaline soil and sandy soil. These are good soils in which female wilting can easily survive. This is something we need to know.
2. Sunlight requirements
Female wilting is a sun-loving plant, but we need to know that it cannot withstand the intense heat of noon in summer. Therefore, during noon in summer, we need to cover it with something. Sunlight exposure at other times is beneficial for the growth of female wilting.
3. Planting method
Female wilting is generally planted by sowing. Before planting, we need to double dig the soil to ensure looseness. Then we sow the seeds, ensuring that they are spread out and not piled up. This is something we need to pay attention to.
4. Proper watering
Female wilting is drought-tolerant, which many people do not know. But it doesn't mean we should water it less. It is generally best to water it every 2 days. When watering, we need to be careful not to water the leaves, as female wilting is afraid of waterlogging.
5. Proper fertilization
We also need to fertilize female wilting properly. It is generally best to use organic fertilizer for fertilization. When fertilizing, we can first loosen the soil appropriately, and then apply the fertilizer. After fertilization, we can water it appropriately. It is generally sufficient to water it once a month.
6. Pest control
Pests are common in female wilting. We can usually use low-concentration pesticides to kill pests. This is something we need to know. Pests mainly occur when female wilting is flowering, so we can apply some pesticides before flowering.
