Planting of Lycopodium japonicum

It is best to plant Lycopodium artificially in cohesive soil with rich water resources, fertile soil and good water retention. When preparing the soil, we only need to turn it over slightly, and apply appropriate fertilizer, preferably organic fertilizer, and finally we can prepare for planting. Its vitality is very tenacious. When planting artificially, we often adopt the method of branching propagation, so that the propagation speed, yield and quality of Lycopodium are extremely high.

After planting Lycopodium, we should pay attention to water management in the field. The growth of Lycopodium requires a large amount of water. Under normal circumstances, it is best to keep the soil humidity at about 65% to 75%, which means that water needs to be watered every other week or so. Lycopodium is generally used as medicine with whole grass, and according to the growth rate of Lycopodium, we can harvest it at least twice a year.
