Soil: It does not have high requirements for soil. It is better to plant in relatively deep sandy loam. Light: The planting site should be chosen in a well-lit location so that it can fully receive good light. Moisture: The best humidity during seed germination is about 20%, and the humidity during later growth should not exceed 40%. Fertilization: Top dressing is required at least three times a year. Nitrogen fertilizer is mostly used in the seedling stage, cake fertilizer is used in the later stage, and phosphorus fertilizer is followed.

1. Soil

Lithospermum has a strong adaptability to the soil environment. When choosing a planting site, it is best to choose a place with relatively high terrain, dry soil, and deep soil. Planted in sandy loam and clay soil.

2. Light

It likes to grow in places with abundant sunlight. When planting, you should choose a good planting site. Only with good light can it grow better. In addition, it is also very afraid of high temperatures, so after entering summer, it needs to be shielded from the sun.

3. Moisture

During the germination period of Lithospermum seeds, the soil humidity should be around 20%, otherwise it will lead to poor seed growth. During later stages of growth, the humidity in the soil should not exceed 40%. Especially when it rains, excess water should be drained off, as standing water in the soil will hinder its growth.

4. Fertilization

Fertilizer needs to be applied before planting to improve the soil structure. When it is still a seedling, it is usually necessary to apply some nitrogen fertilizer, and at the same time it can be combined with a small amount of phosphorus fertilizer. Later fertilization is done with cake fertilizer, and the last time is some phosphorus fertilizer, which requires top dressing almost three times a year.
