5. Things to note

Moisture: It likes a humid environment and cannot suffer from water shortage. It should be watered in time. Sunlight: Keep it out of the sun and give it a cool growing condition. Soil quality: Fertile and humus soil should be used for breeding, and the soil should have good drainage. Fertilizer: Apply enough base fertilizer during cultivation, and timely top dressing during the growth period, including urea. Also, don’t forget to hydrate when maintaining a cool environment.

1. Moisture

Houttuynia cordata likes to grow in a humid environment, so there must be no water shortage during the breeding period. Especially in the drier seasons, it should be watered in time to keep it in a cool and moist environment. The soil should be kept moist, but should be drained as soon as possible when there is water accumulation.

2. Sunshine

It does not like sunlight and is suitable for growing in a cool place. During the breeding process, try not to let it receive strong sunlight.

3. Soil quality

Houttuynia cordata should be cultivated in fertile, sandy soil, which preferably contains a certain amount of humus. Although it likes a humid environment, the drainage of its soil must be good and not too poor.

IV. Fertilizer

During cultivation, fertilizers should be added to the soil and a certain amount of base fertilizer should be applied, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. During its growth period, it needs reasonable and appropriate top dressing, which can be used in conjunction with urea. Note that the concentration of fertilizer should be as low as possible and do not apply concentrated fertilizer.

5. Precautions

Because its growth ability is very strong, it can grow as long as it is given a dark environment. It should be noted that the breeding environment must not only be cool, but also have a certain degree of humidity. In order to satisfy the former, many people will ignore the aspect of moisture and humidity.
