"Okay. ”

Sun Xing nodded, he was completely resigned to his fate, and the boss asked him to say that no matter what the boss thought, he might end up being a farmer, since the dream of a garden designer has been shattered......

So why do I care so much?

"Cistanche prefers to grow on soft sandy land with mild salinization, and generally grows in sandy or semi-fixed sand dunes, dry old river beds, lake basin lowlands, etc., and the habitat conditions are very poor. ”

"It is suitable for growing in areas with arid climate, low rainfall, high evaporation, long sunshine hours, and large temperature difference between day and night, such as some desert areas. The soil is preferably gray-brown desert soil and brown desert soil. ”

"Normally, it is parasitic on the roots of plants such as Chenopodaceae and B. alba, requiring lateral roots 30-100 cm deep, and the most suitable desert at an altitude of 225-1150 m above sea level. ”

"Origins of Inner Mongolia (Azuoqi), Ningxia, Gansu (Changma) and Hotan, Xinjiang, well, this is a plant endemic to China, and it seems that there has never been a plant like Cistanche here in Mexico......"

"Our San Jose Island has a subtropical climate, with strong and long sunshine, high evaporation from the sea on all sides, and very little rainfall on the island, which seems to be a good climate for Cistanche growth. ”

Moreover, the soil conditions of San Jose Island are very different from those in northwest China, and the best soil suitable for the growth of Cistanche is gray-brown desert soil and brown desert soil, among which the soft sand land with mild salinization is the best...... The soil on San Jose Island is mostly coarse-grained, sandy soil, and for some reason, the soil here seems to be not very suitable for plants, and I hardly see any kind of native plants here except for cacti......"

"When I planted the dahlias before, I realized that there was something wrong with the soil here, and in the end, I had no choice but to ask Mr. Maldonado to bring some soil from La Paz, and the planting was successful......"

In the end, Sun Xing's face turned a little red, obviously transplanting the soil made him feel very ashamed, after all, the dahlia was planted by him, but he didn't expect that in the end, not only could he not successfully plant it on the soil of San Jose Island itself, but also had to turn to the outside world for help...... This is not worthy of his name of "Tuxing Sun"!

Not very suitable for the growth of plants...... I don't know why, Jin Yang's mind suddenly appeared in the terrifying scene of the "devil rain" that he had witnessed before, according to Maldonado, this kind of devil rain is extremely terrifying, not only has amazing toxicity, it can ecstasy, and even a trace of its breath will be unlucky for a lifetime.

Although he said that San Jose Island, including the entire sea area around the island, he used a large amount of space spring water to improve the basic conditions, and that kind of "devil's rain" has never visited San Jose Island again, but after all, it has appeared here more than once before, and it will definitely have a certain impact on the soil conditions here......

According to this reasoning, perhaps the poor soil conditions on San Jose Island really have something to do with this weird "devil's rain".

It is very normal for dahlias not to adapt to the soil of San Jose Island, because this kind of flower is relatively delicate, and more importantly, Sun Xing, uh, or Jin Yang did not provide him with space spring water at the beginning.

The small artificial lake next to the church was dug up to coincide with the planting of dahlias.

The cactus is a different plant, it is a drought-tolerant and resistant plant, and it is extremely adaptable to all kinds of extreme environments, or it is impossible to reproduce in the desert or even a dead desert.

Even if there is no space spring, it can grow well on San Jose Island on its own.

The agave planted in Jinyang before is also a bit similar, although the special agave also has high requirements for the soil, but that is only because of some special "factors", the quality of the soil itself is not too worrying about its usefulness in the case of space spring water.

Similarly, no matter how strict the requirements for the environment, climate, soil and other aspects are mentioned by Sun Xing, Cistanche will not be a big problem for San Jose Island, which has space springs.

But the most important thing is that Sun Xing himself didn't know that there was such a thing as space spring water, and he thought that there was nothing special about the water source on the island, at most, the effect of watering when planting dahlias seemed to be a little too good, but he didn't take it to heart.

Normal people probably don't think much about things like space springs.

Thinking about the cause and effect, Jin Yang suddenly understood what the main problem Sun Xing was worried about was, not to mention the question of whether he could survive, anyway, there was a space spring in his hand, and the survival of Cistanche itself did not need to worry about him, but it was a parasitic plant.

To put it bluntly, if you want to plant Cistanche, you must first plant Chenopodaceae plants such as Shuttle and Haloxylon alba, and it cannot be seedlings, it must be an adult tree with a lateral root depth of at least 30-100 cm, which is the most fundamental requirement.

No matter how magical the space spring is, it can't change the survival habits of species, right?

And is there even a single Chenopodium or Lycopodium alba on San Jose Island?

The answer, of course, is no! There are only those damn cacti on the island!

So, if you really want to grow Cistanche on a large scale and this "desert ginseng", wouldn't San Jose Island have to transplant a large number of adult Axon trees?

Well, although it is said that the wood is one of the most tenacious plants in the world, its seeds only need a little water, and they will take root and sprout in two or three hours...... But what San Jose Island needs is adult saxon wood, so what's the use of seeds?

Do you want to plant a batch of Saxony for Cistanche, and then slowly wait for it to reach adulthood?

Not to mention the huge amount of money that would need to be spent to transplant large numbers of adult Saxon woods...... San Jose Island is just a small island, the transportation conditions are not too good compared to the land, the freight of transporting an adult tree is several times that of the land, if it is a large number of transplants, I am afraid that the freight alone can make Jinyang have a headache and can't sleep.

Ho, after decades of life, Jin Yang feels that he still doesn't have much patience, and it's better to seize the day, it seems that Cistanche is not very suitable for San Jose Island......

"There is no need to worry about the soil problem, but since Cistanche is a parasitic plant, if we want to plant it vigorously, we must first transplant a large number of adult Saxon trees, which is too cumbersome and too expensive, and it is really too much for San Jose Island to gain more than it gains. ”

Sighing, Jin Yang looked at Sun Xing with resentment, you said that you guy, since you know that Cistanche is not suitable for San Jose Island, then why do you have to say it......?
