You will find detailed information on how to cultivate, plant and care for Schisandra chinensis in this section. The main growing conditions boil down to ensuring good soil drainage, which is achieved by creating a high bed or planting a plant over a cliff. Moisture does not stagnate on the cliff.

It is very important that Chinese lemongrass is planted at a distance of half a meter between seedlings, which are most often obtained from seeds. The health of the plant can be judged by the color of the leaves. Leaves that are too light indicate a lack of shade. To reap a good harvest, regular pruning is necessary. Thickening of the vine greatly affects the harvest. If all conditions are met, you will be pleased not only by luxurious foliage and delicious berries, but also by the subtle aroma of lemon exuded by the flowers.
