Expanded

Maidenhair likes warm and humid, rainfall abundant climatic conditions 5-30 ℃ can grow normally, the optimal growth temperature of 15-25 ℃, below 0 ℃ or higher than 35 ℃ growth stops, the growth of the process of large water demand, requires sufficient light, especially the expansion of tuberous roots, light enough to promote the expansion of the tuberous roots.

What's more, it's a good idea to have some light.

McDonnell Douglas has special requirements for soil conditions, suitable for loose soil, fertile and moist, well-drained slightly alkaline sandy loam, planting soil texture is too heavy to affect the occurrence and growth of fibrous roots, tuberous growth is not good, sandy overweight, the soil water retention and fertilizer retention capacity is weak, the plant grows poorly, low yield.

The most suitable planting in the river alluvial dam of the first and second terrace, the river alluvial dam terrain flat, the soil is mostly new alluvial soil, the soil viscous sand moderate, to meet the needs of the growth of maitake, the river one or two terrace can be formed more of a self-flowing irrigation channel network, the irrigation conditions can provide the growth of maitake water needs.
