There are mainly two ways to plant Yuzhu: sowing and splitting, especially the latter is more stable. This paper mainly introduces the planting method of splitting (rhizome) of Yuzhu.
The characteristics of Yuzhu are cold resistance, shade resistance and humidity resistance. It doesn't like much wind and strong direct sunlight.
Because Yuzhu likes cool climate, it is the best place to plant in the leeward and sunny place. At the same time, we should pay attention to the drainage of flowerpot and choose fertile and loose sandy loam for flowerpot.
Autumn is the best time to plant Yuzhu, which will sprout from March to April of the next year.
The rhizome of Polygonatum odoratum has a long survival time, reaching 3-4 years, and then begins to rot.
Polygonatum odoratum is mainly planted by rhizome, which is cut into 3 to 7 cm segments and planted in 6 cm deep flower soil.
From germination to seedling, the growth is slow, and the temperature rises in early summer, which will make the stem and leaf grow rapidly, and flower buds and flowers will appear.
Usually in the hot season of July, the root system of Yuzhu will accelerate growth, and the growth of the aboveground part will become slow.
It can be planted in spring and autumn.
More than 2 nodes must be left in each segment of rhizome for planting.
After planting, it needs to be watered and placed in a cool place.
2-3 times of fertilization are needed during the growth of Polygonatum odoratum.
Organic fertilizer is recommended.
