How to grow Schisandra chinensis

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Schisandra chinensis is not very picky about the soil, but it grows best in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with a high humus content.

2. Water: It needs enough water and nutrients to grow well. You need to observe the condition of the soil regularly and water it once it starts to dry out.

3. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer and has a large demand for nutrients. You can usually water it with some algae water to provide it with nutrients. Top dressing is also needed after flowering and before leaves unfold in the second year.

2. Breeding Methods

The reproduction of Schisandra chinensis mainly relies on underground horizontal stems. However, if you have seeds on hand, you can also propagate it by sowing.

3. Pest and disease control

1. Root rot: It often occurs in summer. After the disease occurs, the lower end of the stem begins to turn black and rot, and needs to be treated by spraying carbendazim.

2. Leaf blight: It also occurs frequently in summer. After the disease occurs, the leaves gradually dry up and fall off, and need to be treated by spraying with thiophanate-methyl and jinggangmycin.
