A few days ago, I shared two articles about magnolia dishes with you, and many fans and friends expressed special interest after reading them, so they asked me to share some more knowledge about planting. Well, today I will at your request, to share with you some of the cultivation methods of magnolia cabbage, I hope you can read carefully, if there is something you do not understand can be proposed, let's learn together.
First, a brief introduction to the magnolia cabbage
Let's take a look at it first, the following picture is the protagonist I want to share with you today - golden magnolia cabbage. Many people think that this vegetable is just an ordinary cabbage heart at first sight, in fact, it is not, it just looks a bit like the tender heart of cabbage, its real name is "golden magnolia dish", but people are more accustomed to calling it magnolia cabbage, so we also call it like this.
Magnolia cabbage is a very high-grade vegetable, ordinary cabbage is unable to compare with it, I will say two data: 1 ordinary cabbage selling price is at most 1-2 yuan a pound, and magnolia cabbage can sell for 60-80 yuan a pound when expensive, cheap can also sell to more than 20 yuan a pound. 2 The mu production capacity of planting ordinary cabbage is only a few thousand yuan, and the production capacity of planting golden magnolia cabbage per mu is as high as tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. After reading the above two data, you should have a new understanding of magnolia cabbage, right?
Magnolia cabbage, also known as magnolia, bitter cabbage, it belongs to the perennial Asteraceae herb, its biggest feature is that the root is very thick. At present, the magnolia cabbage sold on the market is a variant of wild chicory, is a very high nutritional value, good taste of health-care vegetables, it can be used to stir-fry, can be used to make soup, of course, the best way to eat such high-grade vegetables is still used to make salads, we usually eat big fish and meat, and then eat this vegetable, it is very meaty, greasy, giving people a very refreshing, delicious to fly up feeling.
Second, how to grow magnolia cabbage?
Magnolia cabbage is basically cultivated by hydroponics, but before breeding, there must be a fleshy root, this fleshy root some people choose to use the seed to cultivate themselves, some people choose to buy directly, let me share the specific method.
1 Cultivate fleshy roots from seeds
(1) Land selection, we must first choose a very fertile field, carry out deep ploughing, and apply 5,000 pounds of organic fertilizer, and 40 pounds of calcium phosphate (one acre of dosage), and then level the land for backup. (2) To treat the seeds, we will buy the seeds to open and pick first, select those seeds that are healthy and full, and the particle size is uniform, put them in cool water and soak them for a day, and then fish out the drainage and set aside. (3) Sowing, sowing time should be selected in June-July of each year, first in the finished field to open a shallow ditch, the spacing of the ditch to grasp their own, and then sprinkle seeds, and then cover a layer of soil, immediately watered, and finally covered with a layer of black film. (4) Management after emergence, when the seedlings are emerging, they should open the film in time, pay attention to watering, and fertilize after 20 days, and you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate twice in about 2-3 months, the purpose is to promote the growth of fleshy roots.

(5) Harvest the fleshy roots, and from October to the end of November every year, we can dig out the entire fleshy roots, paying attention not to dig up. It is especially important to note that the base of the leaf should retain a petiole of 1 cm, and finally leave it in the sun to dry until the surface is dry. (6) Frozen storage of meat roots, meat roots must be frozen storage after harvesting, the purpose is to let it sleep, sleep time is 20 days, the method is as follows: the dried meat root code in the box, and then directly transported to minus 18 degrees Celsius cold storage for sleep, the temperature must be constant during sleep. After hibernation, it can be taken out to heat up to minus 7 degrees Celsius for long-term storage. This way we get a very perfect magnolia fleshy root.
Second, use fleshy roots to hydroponic magnolia cabbage
(1) Thaw the fleshy roots, if we are just taken out of the freezer meat roots are still need to be thawed, if you buy ready-made meat roots can skip this link. The thawing method is very simple, that is, the fleshy roots are placed in a constant temperature environment at zero temperature for 2 days, and it is enough.
(2) Hydroponic magnolia cabbage, we wash the fleshy roots, and then put them into a culture basin with flowing water, the water level in this basin should be controlled in half of the meaty roots. Then we should pay attention to the humidity of the control environment at about 92 ~ 95%, the temperature is controlled at about 18 ~ 20 degrees Celsius, and so that the magnolia cabbage grows to about 15 cm can be harvested, this process takes a long time, generally takes 2-3 months.
It should be noted that the cultivation of magnolia cabbage with fleshy roots, in addition to paying attention to the above points, we should also pay attention to the growth environment problems. Jade cabbage is very peculiar, must be in the absence of light in the environment to grow well, the growth process is best not to see the light, because as soon as you see the light will be photosynthetic vegetable sprouts will turn green, it is difficult to maintain the supposed attractive gold. Therefore, we can take the cultivation in the greenhouse, in the cave, in the empty room, pay attention to the temperature, humidity, ventilation can be.
Third, how do ordinary growers cultivate magnolia cabbage?
The method introduced above is more professional and more troublesome, if people who are not afraid of trouble can use the above methods to cultivate fleshy roots by themselves, and then perform their own dormant operations, and finally hydroponics. If we are afraid of trouble, we can also directly buy ready-made fleshy roots and cultivate them directly, if we cultivate in small quantities, it is recommended to cultivate in a half-water and half-soil way, which is both simple and easy to succeed.
1 half water half soil cultivation method, this way as the name suggests is to say that there is half water, half is soil, first of all, we lay a layer of humus soil at the bottom of the planting pot, you can also directly buy special cultivation soil, and then put in water, and finally the fleshy root is inserted into the soil, so that a quarter of the root is buried in the soil, a quarter in the water, and two-quarters is in direct contact with the air. When the magnolia cabbage grows to about 15 cm, it can be harvested, do not pull out the roots together when harvesting, directly use a knife to cut off the place where the roots and stems are connected, and the roots remain in the water for more than a month, and then new seedlings will grow.
2 balcony hydroponic planting method, hydroponic method we have already introduced, the method of cultivation on the balcony is the same, but the balcony area is limited, we can use a flower stand for cultivation, so that you can place several layers of cultivation pots. Balcony hydroponics is difficult to keep the water flowing, but we can also turn the bottom of the breeding pot to a hole, and then connect the drainage pipe, so that you can put water on the top and drain the water below, only need to change the water once every three or four days, you don't need to let the water flow all the time. In addition to hydroponic planting on the balcony, you can also use flower pots to plant, as shown in the following figure, you can even use the basin directly to hydroponic, there are many methods.
However, we should pay attention to the fact that as mentioned earlier, magnolia cabbage is more afraid of light, so we must pay attention to shading when planting, and must not carry out strong direct light. If we cultivate on the balcony, we can cover the cultivation container with a black plastic bag to shade the light. Cultivating magnolia cabbage, whether indoors or on the balcony, basically there will be no insect infestation, and there will be very few bacteria so there will be no disease, so we can not apply any fertilizer, so that the growth of magnolia cabbage is relatively healthy. If we are the first time to carry out hydroponic magnolia vegetables, I recommend using half water and half soil for cultivation, and after having some experience, we will carry out hydroponics.
Summary: The above is the whole content of this article, magnolia cabbage looks like planting is more troublesome, in fact, it is not troublesome at all, but it is a bit troublesome to cultivate fleshy roots. If we are afraid of trouble, we can directly buy ready-made meat roots, so it is very simple, it can be said that men and women can grow young and old, and they can cultivate high-grade vegetables without leaving home. Then again, many people grow vegetables to experience the joy of planting, they are not afraid of trouble, so they like to cultivate their own fleshy roots, and then cultivate magnolia cabbage, so it is very fulfilling.
