1. Soil: the requirement of Trichosanthes on soil is not high, as long as the two conditions of fertile soil and good drainage are met. Before planting, you need to mix the basal fertilizer in the soil, because the newly planted plants need more nutrients, and the nutrients in the soil alone are insufficient
2. Watering: for plants planted in the open, as long as the climate is normal, there is generally no need to water them, but if the drought lasts for more than one month, the plants need to be watered, otherwise the growth of the plants will be affected, and the watering frequency is the best once a week.
3. Fertilization: in addition to the fertilizer applied before planting, it needs to be topdressing in the growth period. Fertilizer can be applied to moderate efficiency or compound fertilizer, because the nutrient of compound fertilizer is comprehensive and can meet the needs of plants in many aspects. After fertilization, it needs to be watered so that the fertilizer can be fully dissolved into the soil, which is convenient for the plant to absorb.
4. Light: the growth of plants can not be separated from sunlight. Insufficient light will affect the yield of plants. If there is any condition, you can receive the whole day sunshine. If there is no condition, the minimum daily sunshine time is five hours.
1. Propagation: Trichosanthes can be propagated by sowing. Generally, the mature fruits in September will be stored well. In March and April of the next year, the seeds will be soaked in warm water for a day and a night, and then the wet sand will be used to accelerate the germination. The sowing method is hole seeds, each hole is two meters away. After sowing, cover the soil, and the seedlings will appear in half a month.
2. Loosen soil: about half a month after planting, you need to dig open the mound to check. If the middle root has sprouted and the soil is wet, you can level the mound so that the seedlings can be unearthed.
1. Insect pest: the insect pest that it is easy to infect is the melon silk moth. The larva will eat the mesophyll of the plant and spread the disease. The treatment of Melo borer can be treated with spray solution.
2. Disease: it is easy to be infected with anthrax, which usually occurs at the seedling stage, and will damage the seedlings of the plant, and seriously affect the yield. The treatment of anthrax can be sprayed with carbendazim wettable powder.
1. Edible: edible.
2. Toxicity: non toxic, can be used as medicine
