1、 Soil

Aconitum is suitable for cultivation in sandy soil with deep soil layer, medium soil fertility, loose soil and good drainage performance. Avoid continuous cropping, otherwise it will lead to variety degradation and slow growth

2、 Temperature

It belongs to thermophile plants, and 23-30 ℃ is the most suitable for its growth. If the temperature is too high during planting in summer, the method of watering once every 8 days can be adopted. Make aconite go into dormancy in the soil and germinate and grow the next year. When the weather is too cold in winter, attention should be paid to thermal insulation measures. If conditions permit, it can be planted in greenhouse or greenhouse

3、 Illumination

Sufficient light and illumination should be maintained throughout the year. Sufficient sunlight can promote its metabolism, increase its secretion of aconitine, hypoaconitine, aconitine A and other components, 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 when the seedling height is 6cm and the first root pruning. For the first topdressing, the ratio of rotten cake fertilizer to diluted feces is about 1:25, and for the second topdressing, the ratio is 1:12.5

5、 Watering

The supply of water should be ensured, and a slightly humid environment is conducive to its health. Usually, it can be watered once every 2-3 days. If the soil is dry for a long time, it should be supplemented with water in time according to the specific situation. After the temperature rises suddenly, water it once in the morning and once in the evening. Pay attention to drainage during rainy season to prevent disordered roots

6、 Precautions

1. The surrounding weeds should be removed in time to prevent its nutrients from being robbed

2. Attention should be paid to the prevention of common diseases of Aconitum such as white silk disease. Attention should be paid to the timely disinfection of soil, and avoid continuous cropping, untimely drainage and other behaviors that are easy to cause diseases
