Epimedium Planting Five-Step Method
Scientific and standardized planting process, ensuring high yield and quality
Land Leveling
Select land with good drainage and deep soil layer, deep tillage 30-40cm, clear weeds and stones. Apply enough base fertilizer (3000-5000kg/mu of mature organic fertilizer), level the land, and dig drainage channels. Soil pH value should be 5.5-7.0, and excess acidity or alkalinity needs to be adjusted.
Building Shade Net
Epimedium prefers shade, so a shade net is needed, with a shade rate of 60-80%. The height of the shade net is 2-2.5 meters, which can be made of shade net or bamboo. Plan the planting beds, with a width of 1.2-1.5 meters and a width of 30-40cm between beds. In southern regions, natural shade can be used under the forest, saving costs.
Seedling Planting and Covering
Select high-quality seedling or self-raised seedling, spacing 20×30cm, about 8000-10000 plants per mu. After planting, pour enough root water, cover the land with plastic film or straw for moisture retention and insulation, promoting survival. You can also choose seed propagation, seeds need to undergo low temperature stratification treatment, improving germination rate. The best planting period is in spring 3-4 months or autumn 9-10 months.
Fertilizer Application and Weeding Management
Apply fertilizer 2-3 times per year, mainly organic fertilizer, with appropriate amounts of compound fertilizer (N:P:K=15:15:15). Apply in spring, growth peak period, and autumn. Weed and loosen the soil, keep the soil moist, and pay attention to drainage and waterlogging in rainy season. Pay attention to pest and disease control, mainly preventive measures, and remove diseased leaves in time.
Harvest Management
Leaves can be harvested 2-3 years after planting, usually harvested 2-3 times a year (spring, summer, autumn). Harvest standards: leaves fully unfurled, dark green. Harvest promptly and air dry or dry in a dryer, with water content controlled below 13%. Seeds are harvested in autumn, roots can be dug in autumn or early spring. We provide a guaranteed purchase service to solve sales issues.

Seedling Source Selection
Two options, flexible selection, suitable for different planting needs
Option One: Buy Seeds and Raise Seedlings Yourself
Suitable for growers with seedling experience, large planting scale, and wish to reduce costs. By raising seedlings yourself, you can better control seedling management and cultivate seedlings that adapt to local environment.
- Lower cost, suitable for large-scale planting
- Can control seedling quantity based on needs
- Cultivate seedlings adapted to local environment
- Provide seedling technology guidance throughout
Option Two: Buy Seedlings for Direct Planting
Suitable for growers lacking seedling experience, pursuing quick results, and small-scale trial planting. The healthy seedlings we provide have high survival rate, grow rapidly after transplanting, can shorten production cycle, and get returns faster.
- Survival rate above 95%
- Skip seedling stage, simple operation
- Rapid growth, faster results
- Professional packaging, safe transportation
Expert Advice
If this is your first time planting, we recommend buying seedlings, reducing the risk of seedling failure and quickly accumulating planting experience. If you already have some experience and a larger planting scale (10 acres or more), we recommend buying seeds and raising seedlings yourself, which can significantly reduce costs and increase profit margins. We provide comprehensive technical support for both options, feel free to consult!
