Matters needing attention in maca planting:
1, the planting environment of maca is also very important. Maca is weak in drought resistance and needs to be planted in an environment with humidity of 70%-90%.
2. Maca can only be raised artificially. Too dense planting can easily lead to the difference of head size and affect future growth. Maca seedlings should be sparse and need to be transplanted from time to time, so that maca can better absorb nutrients and grow evenly.
3. Maca needs careful maintenance during planting. When planting, the weeds around should be cleaned regularly to ensure that Maca absorbs enough nutrients from the land.
4. The sunshine is high. Maca needs sunshine to grow in the growth process. Long-term sunshine, coupled with the environment that needs high humidity, only high-altitude mountainous areas have such environmental advantages.
