Pinellia ternata is an herbaceous plant with strong vitality and adaptability. Its fruit shape is very unique, much like the bun of Buddha. The cultivation method is relatively simple. Let me introduce to flower lovers how to care for it.

Temperature requirements of Pinellia ternata

Temperature requirements of Pinellia ternata

The germination of Pinellia ternata requires a ground temperature above 10°C, and the optimal growth temperature is around 20°C for vigorous growth. When the temperature exceeds 35°C, the above-ground parts of Pinellia ternata grown in the open field without shade will wilt and die, causing large areas of Pinellia ternata seedlings to lodging; when the temperature is lower than 5°C, the growth of Pinellia ternata stagnates and the low When the temperature is 0℃, be careful to prevent frostbite.

Moisture requirements of Pinellia ternata

Pinellia ternata is not drought-tolerant and prefers moisture, and soil with higher humidity is suitable for its growth. Irrigating with well water and ditch once in the evening in summer can keep the soil moist on the one hand and reduce the soil temperature on the other hand. Of course, watering should also be done appropriately. Pinellia ternata both likes and is afraid of water. There should be no stagnant water, because stagnant water will cause poor plant growth. Under hypoxic conditions, it will cause rotten roots, rotten stems, and the death of seedlings, which will eventually lead to Tuber yield decreases.

Light requirements of Pinellia ternata

Pinellia ternata is a shade-tolerant plant and is afraid of strong light. If the light is too strong, it will burn the leaves of Pinellia ternata and easily cause the plant to wilt; if the light is too weak, it will easily cause the stems to be weak and the seedlings to fall. Therefore, Pinellia ternata should grow in a semi-shade environment and can grow luxuriantly under moderate shading conditions.

The soil requirements of Pinellia ternata

The roots of Pinellia ternata are relatively shallow, and moist, fertile and deep soil is suitable for its growth. Generally, the soil requirements are not strict, except for saline-alkali soil and excessive soil. Clay soil is not suitable for planting. Except for Pinellia ternata, it can basically grow on other soils, but generally loose and fertile neutral sandy soil with a soil moisture content of 25% is best.

Fertilizer requirements of Pinellia ternata

Water and fertilizer management is the prerequisite for increasing production in Pinellia ternata. Before planting, you can mix soybean cake fertilizer, stable manure and other basic fertilizers into the soil to ensure adequate supply of nutrients in the early stage of growth. After the plant enters the vigorous period, pay attention to top dressing and pour liquid fertilizer. On the one hand, it is conducive to keeping the soil moist, on the other hand, it is conducive to promoting the growth of Pinellia ternata, thereby increasing production.
