Soil: Flax flower is suitable for cultivation in sandy or humus soil with rich soil nutrition, loose soil and good drainage performance. Temperature: It is recommended to control the temperature within 0-20 ℃. Illumination: It is more suitable for the growth of semi-shade environment, avoid direct sunlight for a long time. Fertilization: It is less tolerant to fertilizer, so the time and amount of fertilization should be well controlled. Watering: a more humid environment is conducive to its health, so the growth period needs regular watering.

1. Soil

Aconitum is suitable for cultivation in sandy soil with deep soil layer, medium soil fertility, loose soil and good drainage performance.Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to the degradation of varieties and slow growth.

2. Temperature

It belongs to thermophilic plant, 23-30 is the most suitable for its growth.If the temperature is too high when planting in summer, the method of watering once every 8 days can be adopted.The aconite enters a dormant state in the soil and germinates and grows again in the second year.In winter, when the weather is too cold, attention should be paid to thermal insulation measures, and greenhouse or greenhouse planting can be selected if conditions permit.

3. Illumination

Adequate light and illumination should be maintained throughout the year.Sufficient sunshine can promote its metabolism, increase its secretion of aconitine, hypaconitine, aconitine a and other ingredients, and increase its medicinal value.On the contrary, growth retardation and even yellow growth may occur.

4. Fertilization

Fertilizer should be applied in time when the seedling height is 6 cm and the first root pruning.The first topdressing is carried out according to the proportion of 1:25 of decomposed cake fertilizer to diluted feces, and the second topdressing is carried out according to the proportion of 1: 12.5.

5. Watering

Water supply should be ensured, and a slightly humid environment is conducive to its health.Usually 2-3 days sprinkle water can, if encounter the situation of soil long-term drought, should undertake in time according to specific condition compensatory moisture.After a sudden rise in temperature, watering should be done once in the morning and once in the evening.During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to prevent root disorder.

6. Precautions
