Planting method of gastrodia elata

Planting gastrodia elata requires soaking the seeds in water for 6 hours, then adding a new high-fat film which is 0 ~ 50 times of/kloc-0, stirring evenly, then digging a planting pit with a depth of 35 cm in sandy soil, placing wood and Armillaria branches at the bottom of the pit, and finally scattering the seeds into the soil covering about 15 cm.

1, seed treatment

Soak gastrodia elata seeds in clear water for 6 hours to let the seeds absorb enough water, which can shorten the dormancy period. At the same time, select and throw away withered seeds, and add excellent seeds into the new high-fat film 10 ~ 50 times solution for seed dressing. The purpose of this is to prevent the invasion of viruses.

2. Breeding Miao Di.

Cultivating Miao Di is the key to the planting method of Gastrodia elata. The best way to plant gastrodia elata is to choose sandy soil or humus soil, which has high drainage and rich nutrition and is more conducive to the growth of gastrodia elata. Then cultivate the seedbed with decayed broad-leaved trees, dig a hole of 35 cm in about three days, and lay a layer of decayed broad-leaved trees at the bottom of the pit.

3. Sowing and raising seedlings

Before sowing, it is necessary to put wood blocks with proper bottom length and size in into the pit, and put about 8 wood blocks in each pit, and it is best to keep a distance of about 8 cm between the wood blocks. Put some Armillaria mellea branches at the joints on both sides of the wood, then sprinkle the seeds of Gastrodia elata on the wood and Armillaria mellea branches, and then cover them with 15 cm soil.

4. Post-planting management

Unlike other crops, Gastrodia elata doesn't need fertilization. Just water the soil to make the water content around 40%. Proper amount of Gendaling solution can be sprayed in the early stage, which can make the roots more enlarged and promote the root growth. You can cover it with a layer of leaves to keep warm in winter.
