How I planted my Blood tonic leave.

in Homesteadinglast year

Talking about herbs, there's this herbal plant called blood tonic leave that I saw in my uncles farm when I was living with him some years back. Planting of this herb doesn't need too much procedure like most of the herb that needs organic manure to survive. This blood tonic leave only need you to cut one stem of it and put it in a garden or on the ground and it will start germinating provider it is been watered. you don't need to prepare a garden for it or any special treatment for it to grow.

When I noticed the usefulness of this leave, I have to cut out one of the stem from the bunch and took it down to my hometown in Afikpo to grow it myself.

Tendered below is the method which I used in growing the blood tonic leave:

Planting wasn't that hard though.
Instead of planting it in my garden as my uncle did, I just opened a hole in the ground where there's a little sand and put the stem that I cut out. My uncle already told me that it doesn't need special soil for it to grow that was why I didn't bother to plant it inside my garden.

The best time to plant this blood tonic leave is during raining season because it's not what you'll dedicate all your time for and it can grow on it own and if planted in dry season you need to be watering it morning and evening time to avoid it withering away, because the one I planted during dry died as I was not watering it so because of the dryness of the group it dried and died. So I will not advise anybody to grow blood tonic leave in dry season except if you will have the time to water it daily morning and night.

After some months of planting it, I discovered that as it's growing it was expanding in bunch instead of the one stem I planted, I saw plenty of the stem in one bunch growing together and I was very surprised and happy because I wasn't expecting it that way.
