Hops cultivation method

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Beer gardens prefer a cool growing environment, so the temperature cannot be too high. They are very afraid of heat and can usually grow normally between 14 and 25 degrees. However, the temperature in winter cannot be too low. If it exceeds its tolerance range, it needs to be kept warm.

2. Watering: Hops like moisture very much. The soil needs sufficient moisture and cannot be separated from water during the growth period. Each watering should be thorough. It is recommended to water twice a day in summer. Unlike other plants, it also needs to be watered frequently in winter, and its growth is directly linked to watering.

3. Light: The strong light in the summer requires appropriate shading, while it needs normal light in other seasons. In spring and winter, it can be directly exposed to full sunlight, so that it will grow more and more vigorously and more flower buds will appear.

4. Fertilization: Hops has a very high demand for fertilizer. Fertilization can be combined with watering. Some nitrogen fertilizer can be applied when the seedlings are young to promote growth. During the flowering period, compound fertilizer should be applied to prolong the flowering period. During the winter, some organic fertilizer needs to be applied to ensure that it can survive the winter safely.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Underground stem cuttings and green branch cuttings are two important methods of reproduction. Underground stem cuttings are to remove part of the underground stems when cutting buds, and then replant them. This method is currently the most commonly used and also the one with the highest survival rate. Green branch cuttings are best carried out in June. Just choose tender branches and plant them directly. This method is also frequently used.

2. Pruning: Cut off some branches and leaves that grow too densely. At the same time, if you find old and diseased branches, you also need to cut them off. This can increase light transmittance, ensure normal ventilation, and reduce the growth of some bacteria.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Downy mildew will occur, and its flowers will be covered with a layer of gray substance. Normal growth and viewing require the use of pesticides to control it.

2. Pests: Snails will appear. You can kill some of the young eggs when plowing the land, or you can capture them manually.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and has antibacterial and sedative effects.

2. Can it be raised at home? It is not recommended to raise it at home, as it plays an outstanding role in beautifying the environment.
