Pigweed is a highly valuable medicinal herb, and the entire plant can be used medicinally. It has the effects of clearing heat, dispelling wind, diuresis, and reducing swelling. We need to know that pigweed is more suitable for indoor cultivation. Let's learn about the cultivation methods of pigweed!
1. Adequate water supply
Generally, it is necessary to keep the soil moist, and pay attention to keeping the water supply adequate during its growth period. In addition, it is necessary to increase the air humidity appropriately in dry weather. It should not be allowed to lack water in summer. Daily watering should not be wet for a while and dry for another, as this will cause the leaves to turn yellow.
2. Suitable temperature
Although pigweed does not have very strict temperature requirements, attention should still be paid to high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter. Generally, as long as the indoor temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius in winter and around 25 degrees Celsius in summer in a shaded and well-ventilated place, it is sufficient. Direct sunlight can directly scorch the leaves.
3. Soil fertility
Pigweed generally grows in sandy soil rich in organic matter, but it can also be cultivated with potting soil. Fertilizer should be applied every month, and it should be applied to the roots. It is also important to repot and change soil in spring when it needs to grow.
