Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicinal plant seedling technology, specifically a factory-scale seedling production method for shortening the growth period of Sedum sarmentosum. Background Technology

[0002] Sedum sarmentosum ( Sedum sarmentosum Bunge It is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Sedum in the family Crassulaceae. It grows in sunny mountain slopes, rock crevices, ditches and moist places along roadsides below 1600m altitude. It is extremely drought-resistant, likes full sun, but can tolerate some shade. It has a fine and shallow root system, likes fertile soil, and can tolerate poor soil and saline-alkali soil.

[0003] As an important traditional Chinese medicine, Sedum sarmentosum has the effects of clearing toxins from the body, relieving inflammation, improving jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) and yellow urine. It is often used for hepatitis, sore throat, and skin burns and swelling.

[0004] Currently, existing Sedum sarmentosum seedling cultivation techniques mostly use non-renewable peat moss as the seedling substrate, rely on experience for water and fertilizer management, and lack precise control methods. These techniques generally suffer from long seedling cycles, fixed sowing times, difficulty in controlling sowing density, and are constrained by the natural environment, resulting in low space utilization and extensive management. Furthermore, traditional planar seedling cultivation requires a large area, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a Sedum sarmentosum seedling cultivation method that shortens the growth cycle, saves resources, and can be applied in industrial settings.
