Characteristics of cattails:

1. Reproduction method

Propagate by divisions. From March to April, dig up the new sprouting rhizomes of Puhuang and divide them into individual plants. Each plant has a section of rhizome or fibrous roots. Choose a place with shallow water and plant them at a spacing of 50cm × 50cm between rows. Plant 2 plants in each hole.

2. Field management

After planting, pay attention to shallow water maintenance to avoid excessive flooding and water loss and drought. Frequently remove weeds and timely top dressing. After 4-5 years, because the underground rhizomes grow quickly, the rhizomes are crowded, and the above-ground plants are also dense, they need to be pruned and planted again.

3. Harvesting and processing

The flowering will increase in the second year after planting, and the yield will increase before harvesting can begin. During the flowering period from June to July, when the pollen of the male flowers matures, choose a sunny day, pinch the male flowers with your hands, dry them in the sun and crush them, and use a fine sieve to remove impurities.
