Bletilla striata is a plant that is sunny, waterlogging-tolerant, shade-tolerant and not cold-resistant, and likes to grow in a warm and humid environment.

After watering, the straw is covered and the soil remains moist. After emergence, select high-quality strong seedlings and transplant them to the whole plot.

During the growth of Bletilla striata, we should keep the soil moist, manage it according to the weather conditions, water it frequently in dry season and pay attention to drainage in rainy season to avoid water accumulation and root rot in the field.

How to apply fertilizer in this period will directly affect the later harvest, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably. During this period, nitrogen fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and farmyard manure can be applied to make the stem grow with sufficient nutrients.
