How to cultivate Artemisia argyi

1. Soil

To grow mugwort, you need fertile, breathable, and organically rich neutral soil. When breeding, it grows better in moist and fertile sandy soil.

2. Lighting

It likes light, and sufficient light is more conducive to its growth. However, when the sun is strong in summer, it needs proper shade and should not be exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise it will affect its growth.

3. Temperature

It is cold-resistant, and the temperature should be kept between 15-25℃ in summer, spring and autumn, and around 8℃ in winter.

4. Watering

It likes a slightly humid environment and should be watered once every 3-5 days in summer, spring and autumn, and once every 7-9 days in winter. Watering should be moderate, not too much or too little, and watering should not be too frequent. Check the soil before watering. If the soil is very dry, water it immediately.

5. Fertilization

It is necessary to apply sufficient base fertilizer before sowing, and apply top dressing again after the roots and rhizomes sprout. It should be mainly composed of well-rotted thin human and animal manure, and appropriately mixed with some fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium, which will make it grow better.
