The planting time of Desmodium styracifolium is generally in spring, usually concentrated in March to May.At this time, the climate is relatively warm, which is very suitable for seed rooting and seedling growth.If it is in summer, high temperature and light can easily cause it to be sunburned, so it should not be carried out.Autumn planting has to face the problem of overwintering, and the growth of seedlings is easily affected.
Before preparing for sowing, seed soaking and germination acceleration should be carried out, which can greatly improve the emergence rate.Put the seeds into a container, pour in a proper amount of water to cover them, if the temperature is not high, you need to wrap them with plastic wrap to keep warm.Often change water, and put it in a cool and ventilated place, generally a few days later can germinate.
The loose and fertile soil is used for planting the copper money grass. Although the plant is not strict with the soil, the good permeability is very helpful for the respiration of the roots, and it can also prevent water logging.Generally, it is mixed with 5 parts of humus soil, 2 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of river mud, which can also provide nutrients for plants, and the slightly acidic environment is also conducive to development.
After the potting soil is prepared, it is ready for planting.Sprinkle the seeds on the soil surface, cover them with a layer of fine soil, and water them properly to keep them moist.After sowing, it should be placed in a semi-shady place to avoid light, and at the same time to ensure good ventilation, until germination can be properly increased light, in addition to appropriate fertilization.
