The process of ice grass cultivation is not complicated, but it does require some skill and patienceHere are some steps on how to grow ice grass:
Land preparation: First of all, select soil with good aeration and water retention for fine land preparation and thorough weeding.
Soaking seeds: Soaking the seeds of ice grass in 20 30 warm water for 2 4 hours is conducive to improving the germination rate.
Sowing: The sowing period can be in spring and summer, and it is appropriate to take April and May. The sowing method is strip sowing or scattering, and the sowing rate is 15 225 kg. Due to the small size of the seeds, the sowing should be shallow, covering the soil with 2 3 cm. After sowing, gently suppress so that the seeds are in close contact with the soil.
Field management: Ice grass grows slowly at the seedling stage, so it is necessary to cultivate and weed in time. The seeds are easy to fall off after maturity and should be harvested in time and harvested at the end of wax maturity. In addition, the nursery room should be kept regularly ventilated, so that the temperature of the seedling environment drops. If you sow seeds in autumn, they may be affected by high temperatures, and the germination rate will be reduced.
Planting: When the leaves grow about 3 or 4 pieces, they can be planted in pots. Please note that the roots of ice grass are slender and fragile, so do not remove the soil when planting in order not to damage the seedlings. After planting, please water well and manage it outdoors in full sun.
Harvesting: Ice grass is cultivated to have the highest yield during the flowering period and should be harvested in time. Generally 25 50 kg of seeds per 667 square meters. In addition, the harvest should be carried out on a sunny day. Dry in time after harvest to prevent mildew and deterioration. Sun-dried seeds should be stored in a ventilated and dry place.
Pest control: Although ice grass is more resistant to diseases, pests and diseases can occasionally occur. Therefore, it is necessary to check regularly and take preventive measures.
Please note that the above planting methods are for reference only and may vary depending on the actual situation. If you encounter problems during the planting process, it is advisable to consult a professional or consult relevant books for more information. At the same time, we should also pay attention to protecting the environment and avoid using chemical pesticides to pollute the environment. With proper planting and management, you can definitely succeed in growing healthy ice grass.
