1. Maintenance methods
1. Water management: Motherwort likes a warm and humid climate and needs sufficient water conditions. Water should be replenished in time, which is beneficial to growth, but it should not accumulate water and be afraid of waterlogging.
2. Substrate selection: Just choose soil mixed with fire ash or fine soil fertilizer. At the same time, ensure that the soil is loose and has good air permeability.
3. Nutrient management: Top dressing should be applied in time during the breeding process. Because motherwort is a plant that likes fertile soil, sufficient nutrients can help strengthen respiration and increase seed germination rate.
4. Temperature management: It likes a warm and humid environment, and the average temperature is best kept at 26 degrees Celsius. However, it is also a hardy plant, so overwintering is easy.
2. Breeding skills
1 . Sowing: Motherwort is cultivated and propagated by seeds, so preparations need to be done before sowing. Prepare fire ash and rare earth in advance, and then dress the seeds with human and animal excrement and new high-fat film. Then pour enough water on the surface to facilitate the growth and development of the seedlings.
2. Management: When planting, seedlings should be planted, patched, fertilized and watered in a timely manner. When there is a lot of rain in summer, droughts and floods should be prevented and timely drainage should be paid attention to. At the same time, provide sufficient time for sunlight and regularly loosen the soil to increase soil aeration.
3. Problem diagnosis and treatment
1 2. Withering and yellowing of leaves: If symptoms of withering and yellowing of leaves occur, it is most likely caused by water accumulation. Too much water and insufficient oxygen will cause the leaves to wither and turn yellow. At this time we need to change to soil with good aeration and moderate moisture.
2. Pests and diseases: The main disease is powdery mildew, which can be sprayed with 25% 1000 times liquid spray of powdery mildew. Aphids are also the main pests that harm it and can be killed by spraying with 40% Dimethoate 2000 times.
IV. Other questions
1 . Is it toxic? It is a plant of the Lamiaceae family and is non-toxic. Moreover, its flowers are very beautiful. During the blooming period, they have a strong fragrance. They are very suitable to be placed at home or given to friends for viewing.
2. Harvesting: During the harvesting process, due to the tallness of the plants, protective measures should be taken during the harvesting period, including thicker clothes, gloves, etc.
