How to cultivate lychee grass

1. Soil:

Litchi grass has strong growth ability and can be cultivated in most lands, but it is best cultivated in deep, well-drained, fertile and loose sandy soil.

2. Lighting:

Litchi grass is light-loving and has a strong demand for light. Long-term exposure to light can promote the growth and development of litchi grass. Adequate light should be maintained during cultivation.

3. Watering:

Litchi grass is afraid of waterlogging. If water accumulates for a long time, root rot is likely to occur. Normally, do not water it too often. Watering once every 2-3 days is enough.

4. Temperature:

Lychee grass cannot tolerate severe cold, and too low temperature will cause serious damage to the plant. During the cultivation period, the most suitable planting temperature is 20-30℃.

5. Pest and disease control:

1. Diseases: The main disease of litchi grass is downy mildew. Downy mildew can harm the rhizomes and leaves of lychee grass, causing the leaves to turn yellow and in severe cases even lead to the death of the plant. Before planting, disease-resistant varieties should be selected. While removing fallen leaves of diseased plants, spray 400-600 times diluted HILOT spray every 5-7 days for prevention and control.

2. Pests: The main pests of litchi grass are crickets and caterpillars. They will suck the juice and tender shoots of litchi grass, affecting its normal development. They can be prevented and controlled by spraying 6% wettable hexachlorocyclohexane 1 to 2 times, which can effectively control their harm.
