Preliminary preparation for propagation of Zingiber officinale

Soil selection

When breeding Yanshan ginger, you should choose neutral to slightly acidic sandy soil with fertile soil

The aeration and drainage of the soil should be good, and it must not be heavy and tight. The cultivation soil can be mixed with loam, peat soil and rotten leaf soil, and some river sand and charcoal powder are added

Temperature

Before and after the spring equinox, the plants began to germinate a large number of new buds, and the best period for ramet propagation was in spring and summer

Ramet propagation of Zingiber officinale

In spring and summer, dig out the underground rhizomes of Yanshan ginger, shake off the excess basin soil, separate the coiled root systems as far as possible, cut them into two or more plants with a sharp knife, and each plant must have a considerable root system

Then properly trim its leaves and cut off the stems and leaves of the aboveground part to facilitate survival

The selected rhizome of ramet can be 4 or 5 cm long. Just potting directly

Late maintenance of propagation of Yanshan ginger

Fertilization

After the plants are transplanted, germinated and before growing leaves, an appropriate amount of liquid fertilizer dominated by nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to promote the growth of leaves of Yanshan ginger

Phosphorus and potassium fertilizer were applied before and after the beginning of summer to promote the flowering of pregnant buds

Watering

Yanshan ginger should be irrigated with roots or thoroughly after being put into pots. Water the roots sparingly within 3 weeks to avoid rot

spray 1 to 3 times a day to ensure the moisture content of leaves. span>
