2. Seedling raising process of Ficus hirsuta

Five-finger peach planting is mainly sowing and seedling planting. It is very important to choose the land. When planting, you should choose the land with deep and soft soil layer, convenient irrigation and drainage and good air permeability. The planting land can be on the hillside, but the best slope is not more than 25 degrees. After selecting the land, it is necessary to prepare the soil carefully, and the digging depth is more than 25 cm. When preparing the land, foot manure should be applied, and it is best to use decomposed farm manure, which can help the five-finger peach to germinate quickly and establish its growth advantage.

When raising seedlings, use nutrient bags to raise seedlings, choose the best deep yellow soil without germs in the soil, put the seedling bags in the shed and disinfect them with 50% chlorothalonil solution. Strengthen the management of fertilizer and water after the seeds emerge, and promote the growth of seedlings. They can be transplanted appropriately in mid-February every year, or they can be transplanted in early autumn. After the rain, or the soil is poured thoroughly, and the planting density is calculated. It is best to plant a seedling in each hole and compact the soil. Management after transplanting: As a medicinal material, Ficus hirta should not be watered more, but in order to prevent soil drought, it must be watered once every seven days. After watering, it can be covered with straw to reduce the evaporation rate of water and inhibit the growth of weeds. If there are dead seedlings, they must be replenished in time, and then the green fertilizer should be applied once every half month. The fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, which can supplement the nutrients needed by the plants.

We should pay special attention to light and temperature to provide a suitable growth environment for Ficus hirsuta, so that it will have high yield and good quality.
