Soil: Ramie is suitable for growing in deep, well-drained soil. Temperature: The optimal growth temperature is around 16°C to 30°C. Temperatures that are too low or too high will affect its growth and yield. Moisture: It requires a lot of water when growing, and more water during the growth period, but it should not be overwatered. It is best to keep the moisture at about 22%. Nutrients: A lot of nutrients are needed during the growth period, and organic fertilizer needs to be applied deeply before winter.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Substrate selection: Ramie has low soil requirements and can basically grow in any soil quality. However, the yield will be higher in deep, fertile neutral soil with strong drainage capacity. When arranging the soil, you need to mix more. You can mix bean dregs, humus soil, garden soil, and an appropriate amount of small stones to increase the soil's air permeability and ensure the basic nutrients it needs for growth.

2. Temperature management: The optimal temperature for ramie growth is 16℃ to 30℃. Winter temperatures below 7°C will cause the roots to freeze and require covering with soil or straw to survive the winter. Too high temperatures in summer will affect flowering.

3. Water management: Ramie requires a lot of water to grow and is suitable for growing in soil with a moisture content of 21% to 25%. The maximum soil moisture content cannot exceed 84%, otherwise it will affect the root respiration of ramie.

4. Nutrient management: More nutrients are needed during the growth period. 24 kilograms of nitrogen fertilizer, 12 kilograms of phosphorus pentoxide, and 16 kilograms of oxygen per acre can be combined and then applied. Before overwintering, human and animal manure can be mixed with leaf mold soil and other organic fertilizers and buried deeply around the ramie.

2. Breeding skills

1. Cutting: Cutting is suitable in summer. Before cutting, the soil needs to be disinfected with potassium permanganate liquid. Pick the cuttings you need before the sun rises. Cut off the large leaves after collecting the cuttings. After placing it in a cool and ventilated place for about four hours, the cuttings are placed in about 3 cm of soil.

2. Overwintering: The temperature in winter needs to be kept at about 10°C. You can use the method of covering with soil to keep it warm. Cover the soil with a depth of about 8 cm to prevent freezing damage.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 2. Root rot: Too much watering or too much water in the garden leads to poor soil permeability, which inhibits the respiration of the roots, leading to root rot. Bordeaux mixture can be used to treat it.

2. Longhorn beetles: When the quantity is small, manual hunting can be adopted. The adults can be shaken off from the branches and killed. The larvae can be killed with sharp tools or collected and burned. When the amount is large, chemical treatment can be used. Dichlorvos is mixed with water and sprayed evenly on the surface of the plant. The number of sprays can be increased appropriately.

IV. Other questions

1 , Can it be grown in water: Can’t be grown in water. Ramie has great requirements for soil permeability. Generally, excessive watering or stagnant water in the field will cause the roots of ramie to rot. If cultivated in hydroponics, the respiration of the ramie roots will be completely inhibited, and in severe cases, the plant will die.

2. Can it be planted in the ground? It can be planted in the ground. Ramie is suitable for growing in deep and fertile soil. The amount of potting soil is small and the fertility is unstable, so it is suitable to be planted in the ground.
