1、 Soil

Mosquito mother grass is more suitable for cultivation in soil with loose soil, rich nutrition and good drainage performance. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to variety degradation and slow growth

2、 Temperature

It likes warm environment and can endure slight cold. In winter, it is necessary to spend the winter in the greenhouse. The temperature should be controlled between 1-10 ℃ and the watering frequency should be controlled to make the plant go into dormancy. This is conducive to continued growth in the second year

3、 Illumination

It has strong adaptability and can withstand shade, but the sunny place is more suitable for its growth. Sufficient sunlight can promote its metabolism and increase its medicinal value. On the contrary, growth retardation and even withered and yellow growth may occur

4、 Fertilization

Topdressing should be carried out in time during early spring and root pruning. When topdressing, the ratio of rotten cake fertilizer to diluted feces is about 1:20, and low concentration compound fertilizer can also be used

5、 Watering

A relatively humid environment is conducive to its health. It is essential to spray water mist around it regularly for humidification. The daily watering shall be controlled in 4-5 days. If there is a long-term drought in summer, the water shall be supplemented in time according to the specific situation. Pay attention to drainage during rainy season to prevent disordered and rotten roots

6、 Precautions

1. In the spring of each year, it should be trimmed and weeded before germination, and the plants with disordered roots, weeds, diseases and insect pests should be cut off. Clean up other diseases and insect pests that affect its healthy growth, so as to improve its survival rate and medicinal value

2. Attention should be paid to the timely disinfection of soil, and chemical pesticides such as dixone and carbendazim can be used for disease control. Avoid continuous cropping, untimely drainage and other behaviors that are easy to cause abnormal growth of plants
