When and how to plant herbs

Herb Planting Time

If you want vanilla to grow vigorously, you have to choose the right planting time. From the perspective of growth habits, spring and autumn are the best growth periods, so the most suitable planting time is February to April or August to September in autumn. At this time, the climate environment is very conducive to the growth of vanilla.

How to grow herbs

1. Pot soil preparation

Before planting vanilla, you need to prepare the soil. Because it likes to grow in relatively loose, breathable and well-drained soil, you can mix it with leaf mold, peat soil and garden soil. In addition, in order to better promote growth, you can add some base fertilizer.

2. Flowerpot selection

When choosing flower pots, you can choose according to the size of the plants. For seedlings, you can use a smaller flower pot, and for mature plants, you can use a size one flower pot. This way, they can grow fully after planting. In addition, the material of the flower pots can be clay pots, ceramic pots, purple clay pots, etc.

3. Planting soil

Plant young or mature vanilla plants in the soil, cover them with soil and compact them lightly. Then water them appropriately to keep the soil slightly moist. Place them in a well-ventilated, shady place for a while. After they grow stably, you can carry out normal maintenance and management to promote healthy and lush growth.

Notes on growing herbs

When watering potted vanilla, you need to pay attention to the method. Do not overwater or lack water for a long time. Both will lead to poor growth of vanilla, such as yellow leaves, wilting, root rot, etc. You can insert your finger into the soil. If the soil is a little dry three centimeters below, you can water it appropriately. Water it thoroughly at one time.
