Soil: Milk thistle is highly adaptable and can grow anywhere, but it is best to grow on flat areas. Fertilization: Before fertilizing, the soil should be loosened. For barren land, 18-20 kilograms of phosphorus and potassium can be applied per acre. Temperature: Milk thistle is very cold-tolerant, and the most suitable temperature for its growth is 15-20°C. Watering: Drought is the most feared in the early stage, so the growth in the early stage mainly depends on water. Timely watering is very important.

1. Soil

1. Soil

Milk thistle does not have strict soil requirements. It prefers land with flat terrain, good drainage, and medium fertility. If the land fertility is too high, it will seriously affect the growth of seedlings and is not conducive to seed production. Generally, sandy land is not suitable for growing milk thistle.

2. Fertilization

During the growth process of milk thistle, attention should be paid to planting and fertilizing. The land should be plowed deeply first, and then the soil layer should be plowed. Fertilizer should be applied according to the degree of barrenness of the soil. Generally, 18-20 kilograms of phosphorus and potassium can be applied per acre of barren land.

3. Temperature

Milk thistle is very cold-resistant. If the temperature is relatively low, its leaves will become darker. Once the temperature warms up, the leaves will return to normal. Generally, the ideal growth temperature for milk thistle is around 15~20℃, and its fruiting rate is the highest at this temperature.

4. Watering

Milk thistle is very afraid of drought in the early stage, especially in spring, so it is necessary to water it appropriately and in time. However, don't water too much. In the later stages, water appropriately. A slightly humid state is better.
