There are usually two kinds of Acorus calamus, one is planted in the water, and the other is planted in the soil higher than the water. Under normal circumstances, calamus in soil is not as good as calamus in water. Wetland is usually selected for cultivation.
Acorus calamus likes a humid environment, with a large demand for water for growth. During the planting process, sufficient light shall be ensured, and the light time shall be controlled over 6 hours; sufficient air humidity and soil humidity shall be applied timely.
There are three ways of propagation of Acorus calamus: sowing, rametting and tissue culture.
Sowing is mainly carried out in spring and autumn. The ramets can be carried out in spring, autumn and after flowering, and the tissue culture can be carried out at any time. Today, with the development of science and technology, shoulder lateral buds, leaves, and stem tips are sterilized and cultured for differentiation, so that a large number of plants can be cultivated.
Acorus calamus needs proper watering and fertilization. Plant management in potted plants should be more careful. Fertilization should not be too thick to avoid burning roots. The plant management in the field is relatively extensive, and the fertilizer can be applied once in spring and after flowering respectively.
After flowering, cut off the diseased leaves, residual roots and flower stems in time. When transplanting in another basin, cut off some leaves on the plant, leaving 20cm for transplanting. For some introduced varieties, soak roots with rooting agent before planting.
After the planting of Acorus calamus, a lot of weeds will grow around it. It is necessary to loosen the soil and weed in time. Weeding when the soil is dry. Pull out manually.
