1、 Soil:

Elsholtzia has not strict requirements for soil. It is appropriate to choose soil with loose texture, shelter from wind and sunshine and good drainage. Do not use alkaline soil and sandy soil for cultivation

2、 Fertilization:

The growth period of Elsholtzia chinensis is short, so it should be topdressing in time and fertilized by strip application. At the same time, it should be mainly organic fertilizer, and pay attention to the combined application of organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer

3、 Watering:

Elsholtzia is fond of moisture, but it should not have too much water in the seedling stage. Before and after flowering, Elsholtzia needs the most water. You can increase the watering times to ensure sufficient water supply.   

4、 Temperature:

The growth rate of Elsholtzia will accelerate with the increase of temperature, and too low temperature will delay the growth and development of Elsholtzia. During the incubation period, the temperature should be controlled at 25-28 ℃

5、 Precautions:

The main disease of Elsholtzia is root rot. Root rot causes brown patches on roots and roots and neck, and shrank and becomes yellow and dead. It can be washed by 60 degrees Baijiu and replanted after root. The common pest is the small land tiger. The small land tiger will bite off the tender stem, wilt and die the seedlings, resulting in lack of seedlings. It can be controlled by spraying insecticides or by trapping and killing technology. This can ensure the growth and quality of Elsholtzia to the greatest extent
