It grows in the environment of high temperature and humidity, cold and shade resistant, but the temperature difference can not be too large. Reproduction is mainly through sowing method, before planting, apply enough basal fertilizer and soak seeds. In the way of strip sowing, it is OK to sow two centimeters of soil on the back cover. It grows slowly and can be transplanted after growing seedlings. Do not plant too deep when transplanting, to avoid heart rot.

I. planting method

When planting, you should choose the cultivation land close to the water source. The soil should be fertile, sandy loam or clay loam. The bottom fertilizer shall be applied and the soil shall be turned into a 1.4m-wide border. Before sowing, soak the seeds for two to three days, wipe off the wax on the outer layer and wash them. The germination rate of seeds is relatively low, so it is necessary to plant enough seeds. With the method of strip sowing, the seeds will be sown into the soil, and then covered with 2 cm thick thin soil.

2. Growth conditions

Its growth likes the environment of high humidity and high temperature. It is cold and shade resistant and drought resistant, but the temperature difference cannot be too large. During the growth period, it is better to let it bask in the sun. The soil should be calcareous or acidic. In addition, it is afraid of strong winds, if the seedlings to pay attention to protection.

3. Breeding methods

It usually propagates by sowing, and can propagate by itself in the original place. However, the growth rate is slow and the emergence rate is relatively low. Usually, the rate of emergence is only 40%, so we need to sow more

IV. transplanting method

When transplanting, be careful not to damage the root system. If it is a small seedling, it can not take the original soil, but the big seedling must take the soil ball. Don't plant too deep when planting, or it will easily rot. In addition, transplanting seedlings to cut off half of the leaves, can reduce water evaporation, more conducive to survival.
