Gastrodia gastrodia is a special plant that has no roots, no leaves, and is unable to photosynthesize to produce energy. This means that it cannot grow like other plants, absorbing nutrients from the soil through its roots. The mode of reproduction of gastrodia is done through the honey ring fungus. Honey ring fungus is a fungus that can live in symbiosis with gastrodia underground and pass nutrients to gastrodia through hyphae. Therefore, if you plant gastrodia directly in the soil, it will most likely not survive because it does not have enough nutrients.
In addition, the growth environment of gastrodia also has special requirements. They need to maintain a certain temperature and humidity, as well as proper shade. If the planting environment does not meet these requirements, it is also likely that gastrodia will not grow properly.
In general, if you want to grow gastrodia, you need to understand its growth habits and needs, and provide a suitable living environment for it. If you simply plant it in the soil, then I am sorry to tell you that this will not allow Gastrodia to survive. Therefore, growing gastrodia requires certain professional knowledge and skills, and if you don't know much about it, it is recommended that you seek the help of a professional agricultural technician.
