1. planting conditions

Snake skin fruit like high temperature and high humidity growing environment, so it is generally suitable for planting at an altitude of four hundred meters to six hundred meters of woodland, requiring an average annual temperature of twenty-two degrees Celsius, the relative humidity should reach more than eighty percent. Transmittance is also required in twenty percent to thirty percent or so.

2. seed propagation

Seed propagation of the snake skin fruit is generally picked fresh fruit, peel the skin, remove the pulp, wash and leave the seeds, and then use wet sand through the low temperature preservation. Before sowing to go through the germination treatment to improve the germination rate of the seeds, want to lay the seeds flat in a container filled with coarse sand, in the sand and rice hulls and other things to cover 2-3cm thick, preserving the temperature and humidity, when the seedling grows out of 2-3 pieces can be transplanted.

3. Transplanting

Transplanting should be planted to reclaim the land, digging planting holes, general hole length, width and height specifications when 50 × 50 × 50cm, reasonable control of the plant spacing, generally 1.5 × 1.5 meters or 2 × 2 meters, but also according to the actual situation of the larger or smaller. Transplanting can also be applied to the hole in the appropriate amount of fertilizer, and then put the seedlings into the hole, the requirements of the root system spread in the hole, support the mulch, so as not to fall over the seedlings, and then stepped on the watering.

4. Field management

Because the snake skin fruit like to grow in a high temperature and high humidity environment, so the temperature and moisture problems actually do not need to worry too much, if the planting site does not meet these conditions, then you need to be reasonable temperature and moisture regulation management. Usually, the snake skin over the need to fertilize twice a year, each application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer 1 to 2kg, in the dry and rainy seasons.

Additionally when planting to control the number of leaves of the plant, usually 7-8 or 14-16 leaves per plant control, dead leaves should be cut off in time, can be cut off the leaves laid on the root system, reduce water loss, but also increase nutrients. In planting if not hermaphrodite varieties to pay attention to the ratio of male and female plants, so as not to affect the results, generally every 20 female plants to be matched with a male plant, so that it can make the normal pollination.
