Water: Lycopi rhizoma thrives in damp environments, requiring consistent watering once a week for optimal hydration. It tolerates wet conditions and brief dry spells. Preferring well-draining soil, lycopi rhizoma benefits from natural rainfall while avoiding waterlogging during heavy rains.
Fertilize: Lycopi rhizoma thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers, using equal NPK ratios monthly during the growing season to enhance vigor and root development. Monitor runoff and adjust applications based on plant size and soil absorption; decrease frequency in winter. Water soil before and after to avoid nutrient burn.
Pruning: Lycopi rhizoma thrives in moisture and features rhizomes. Prune in early to late spring, removing dead or damaged stems to promote growth and airflow. Regular pruning maintains shape and vitality, reducing fungal disease risk. Consult horticultural guides for specific techniques, timing with lycopi rhizoma's active growth period for best results.
Propagation: Lycopi rhizoma is a perennial herb ideal for wet environments. Propagate by division in early spring or late autumn, ensuring each section has a growth point. Replant in moist, rich soil at the same depth and maintain consistent moisture during establishment.
