Planting yams should be done around April in spring, not too early or too late, otherwise budding will be affected. Its planting method is very simple. First, divide the seedlings into sections, about 10-15 centimeters in length, and apply plant ash on both ends. The land must be dug in advance, about 60 cm deep and 50 cm wide. Then put the seedlings directly and fill them with soil to submerge them. In addition, in the later stage, it is necessary to set up the frame in time and fertilize regularly.

1. Planting time

Yam planting is usually carried out in spring. Be careful not to do it too late or too early. The time should be chosen around April. If the temperature is unstable too early, it will affect germination. If the temperature is too high too late, management will be inconvenient.

2. Prepare seedlings

When planting, you should prepare good-quality seedlings and choose those with high maturity and large size. Then cut a section from both ends, leaving a small section of about 10-15 centimeters. Pay attention to smearing plant ash on the wound to disinfect it to avoid rot during the planting process, which will lead to the failure of budding.

3. Planting seedlings

Although yam has certain adaptability, it is better to choose a plot with loose soil and good air permeability for growth. Planting can be done after selecting a plot of land. Dig a trench in advance, with a depth of 60 cm and a width of about 50 cm. Place the seedlings in and fill them with soil to submerge them. The soil should completely cover the seedlings so that they can germinate better.

4. Scaffolding Management

After planting, you need to water regularly, usually once every three days, and it will take about a month for the seedlings to take root and germinate. It is a climbing plant, so it needs to be set up in time. Set up a trellis next to the seedlings and let them grow on the trellis. In addition, if you want to grow more vigorously, you must fertilize in time and provide sufficient nutrients.
