When is the best time to plant Prunella vulgaris?

Prunella vulgaris planting time

The best time to plant Prunella vulgaris is in late summer and early autumn. The best season is from the beginning of autumn to the white dew every year, which is from mid-August to late September in the lunar calendar.

Planting methods and key points of Prunella vulgaris

1. Before planting, apply sufficient base fertilizer to the soil, and then dig small holes in the soil at a spacing of 20*20; sprinkle the seeds in the small holes, sow 8 to 10 seeds in each small hole, and then cover them with a thin layer of soil. Water them thoroughly at one time, and also observe the drainage conditions to prevent water accumulation.

2. Weeding is required during the seedling stage. Smaller and weaker seedlings can be directly pulled out by hand. Fertilization should be carried out twice after planting, once in mid-March and once in mid-May. After fertilization, water appropriately to allow the nutrients in the fertilizer to be better absorbed by the plants.

Precautions for planting Prunella vulgaris

1. Temperature: Prunella vulgaris prefers a relatively warm growing environment, and the temperature should not be too high. The normal growth temperature of its seedlings is between 25 and 30 degrees. If the temperature is too high in summer, it is necessary to cool down to prevent a large number of lodgings caused by high temperature.

2. Watering: Prunella vulgaris likes moist soil, so it needs to be replenished with water frequently. However, during the rainy season in summer, attention should be paid to timely drainage to avoid root rot.
