Motherwort is widely distributed all over the country, and motherwort and motherwort are common. Mostly born in hillside grassland, wilderness or roadside, especially in sunny places. Its plant height is 30 cm to 100 cm, its stem is square column, and its leaf shape changes greatly. Basal leaves and lower stems and leaves shed during flowering, mostly oval to nearly round, palmately 3-lobed. The leaves in the middle of the stem are rhombic and small, and usually split into three or more oblong linear lobes. Leaf blade on inflorescence linear or linear-lanceolate. Inflorescence axillary, with 8 to 15 flowers, curved and pendulous base, bell-shaped calyx, pink to lavender corolla, and light brown diamond-shaped nuts after flowering. The flowering period is from June to September, and the fruiting period is 7- 10.
Motherwort has a wide range of properties, likes warm and humid environment and is cold-resistant. General soil can be planted, but it is suitable for cultivation in loam with deep soil layer and rich humus and sandy loam with good drainage. Generally speaking, seeds are propagated by direct seeding. Seeds can be collected from the ground in autumn, dried and preserved until the vernal equinox of the following year to the awning season. Sowing should be carried out in a ventilated and sunny place. First of all, we should do a good job in soil preparation and apply sufficient base fertilizer. The row spacing should be 20 cm to 30 cm, and a shallow ditch with a depth of 1 cm to 2 cm should be drawn. Seeds should be evenly spread in the ditch, covered with soil, leveled and watered to keep the soil moist, and seedlings can emerge in about 15 days. When the height of the seedlings is 5cm to 10cm, the seedlings should be fixed according to the plant spacing of 10cm to 15cm, and the soil should be loosened in time to weed, and the water should be watered frequently and less. When the plants begin to sprout and blossom, they should be topdressing with 1 ~ 3 times of fully decomposed liquid fertilizer. If potted plants are used for ornamental purposes, 3 ~ 5 plants per pot are appropriate according to the size of the pot diameter. Pot soil can choose sapropelic soil and pastoral soil with good water permeability, slightly apply base fertilizer and plant in the field according to the sowing method. Potted plants should be kept in ventilated and sunny balconies. And keep the basin soil moist, and apply dilute and decomposed liquid fertilizer regularly, so that the basin soil will not be dry and short of water for a long time, so as to ensure the plants to grow luxuriantly and bloom continuously. Mature seeds should be harvested in time after autumn, so that they can be planted next year.
Motherwort is prone to powdery mildew and rust in the middle growth stage. Edible cultivated plants should not use too many chemicals, mainly for prevention, or use natural plant preparations for prevention and control, such as using garlic extract to prevent powdery mildew and using tobacco extract to kill cutworms. When powdery mildew occurs in ornamental plants, 50% carbendazim wettable powder can be sprayed 500-800 times, and 97% diclofenac sodium can be sprayed 200 times to prevent rust. The main pest is root cutter (cutworm), which can be poisoned by 1500 times of 90% trichlorfon.
