The materials needed for planting gastrodia elata include gastrodia elata seeds, Armillaria mellea seeds, thick wood, fresh branches, fresh leaves and river sand. If you choose semi-shady gentle slope land in the wild, you can also plant it indoors, dig a sloping bed in the wild, enclose the bed with bricks or boards indoors, and pad leaves, rough wood and river sand from bottom to top in order to create a relaxed growth environment.

1, planting materials

In the planting technology of Gastrodia elata, the materials needed for an average square meter are: 10 thick branches with a length of 60cm and a diameter of 4-8cm, 2 thick branches with a diameter greater than 8 cm, 4kg fresh branches of any tree and 2kg leaves. Before use, the leaves should be crushed or cut into small pieces, with river sand 0.25m, Armillaria mellea 1kg and gastrodia elata 0.5kg.

2. Digging and building borders

If gastrodia elata is planted in the wild, sand can save the cost of river sand. It is best to use raw wasteland on the semi-shady gentle slope. If soil for planting other agricultural products is used, it is necessary to dig a pit with a depth of 10cm and a width of 80cm, and build a slope boundary with a boundary spacing of about 40cm. Indoor side pools can be enclosed with bricks or boards.

3. Cultivation and planting

Starting from the bottom of the pond, lay 5 cm thick leaves and thick branches layer by layer, with an interval of 2 cm. If there are cracks, fill the river sand until the top of the wood is flush and cannot cover the branches. Sprinkle some water to wet the sand, and then spread a layer of leaves to cover the branches.

Sow once every 6 cm, then sow Gastrodia elata every 10 cm, place thick branches with smaller diameter every 40-50 cm, then spread leaves until the branches are even, then spread fresh branches with a height of 3-5 cm, and finally cover them with sand with a thickness of 15 cm. Don't compact, wash the sand with a little water.

4. Planting management

The optimum growth temperature is 10~26, which is usually natural temperature. Cover your body with hay to keep out the cold in winter. In case of rain, a film should be covered. When the temperature rises to 10, hay and film should be put away so that rainwater can penetrate. If it rains for a long time, cover it with film to prevent flooding and protect it from the sun in summer. If it doesn't rain for half a month, it will be irrigated. Water should be controlled in September, and it can be harvested after 10.
