Motherwort related introduction:

Motherwort likes warm and humid climate and sunshine, and has low requirements for soil. General soil and barren hills and slopes can be planted, especially fertile soil, which requires sufficient water conditions, but it is not suitable for water accumulation and is afraid of waterlogging. Growing in various environments, the altitude can be as high as 3400 meters. Wild wasteland, roadside, ridge, hillside grassland, riverside and sunny places are the most. Produced in all parts of China; Russia, Korea, Japan, tropical Asia, Africa and America are all distributed.

Motherwort can be divided into precocious motherwort and winter motherwort. Generally, seeds are propagated and planted directly. There are also seedling transplanters, but the output is low, only 60% of the direct seeding, so it is not needed. Because of the different feather characteristics of varieties, the sowing time is also different. Leonurus japonicus can only blossom and bear fruit when sown in autumn. According to the row spacing of 27 cm, the hole spacing of 20 cm, and the depth of 3-5 cm, sow in shallow holes.
