Cultivation methods and precautions of alum root

Farming methods

Light and temperature

Alum is relatively cold-resistant, likes sunlight and tolerates shade, and is very suitable for maintenance in a cool and semi-shaded place. In summer, avoid direct sunlight, provide adequate shade, and remember to keep ventilation. In winter, the alum root can be placed in a sunny place for maintenance. The alum root is cold-resistant and can grow at temperatures above -15℃.

Water and fertilizer management

When growing alum root, watering should be moderate. It does not like a too humid growing environment, so water it when the soil is dry and then water it after the surface of the soil is dry. In summer, you must control watering and make sure to water it thoroughly, which can promote the normal growth of the alum root. When cultivating alum roots, you should also pay attention to proper fertilization. In fact, alum roots will grow better in soil with less fertilizer, but they can also tolerate soil with higher fertilizer content. You can add more nitrogen fertilizer.

Reproduction method

The main methods of propagation of alum root are seed propagation and division propagation, and cutting propagation can also be used.
