Lysimachia nummularia, also known as big Lysimachia nummularia or ground coin herb, has the effects of clearing heat, promoting bile secretion, expelling stones, and diuresis. It is widely used in the treatment of liver and gallbladder diseases, stones, urinary tract infections, and other conditions. Lysimachia nummularia is distributed in low mountain areas, and its market demand has been strong in recent years, with prices continuously rising. Wild resources are scarce, and artificial cultivation is urgently needed to meet the market's urgent needs.
Lysimachia nummularia is suitable for cultivation on mountains, slopes,沟边 (ditch sides), roadsides, around houses, and in orchards. Due to its easy management, low investment, easy growth, and high yield, it is especially suitable for cultivation in the rainy southern regions. 1. Growth habits. Lysimachia nummularia prefers shady and moist places, with fertile and loose soil, and the best choice is sandy soil rich in humus in mountainous areas. It grows best in the shady and moist valleys of hills or low mountains. 2. Cultivation methods. It can be propagated by cutting, which can be done throughout the year, with higher survival rates in spring and autumn. When cutting, the creeping stem is cut into sections of 3 to 4 nodes each, which are used as cuttings. Seed propagation is also possible, first by seedling raising, then by transplanting. This article promotes cutting propagation because it is easy to obtain sources and has a high survival rate. 3. Field preparation and planting. On well-prepared land, make high ridges 1.3m wide, and make shallow holes 16 to 20cm apart, with two cuttings inserted into each hole, 2 to 3 nodes buried in the soil. It is similar to planting sweet potatoes, pressing the soil firmly, applying a handful of dry fertilizer, watering sufficiently, and it can take root and survive in a few days. 4. Field management. After cutting, it is essential to water the seedlings to keep them moist. When new leaves start to grow, apply a light solution of animal manure. When the vines reach 13 to 15cm, apply another round of fertilizer. After the autumn harvest, apply fertilizer once again. Repeat the same process every year, mainly applying animal manure, or dilute urea at a ratio of 1:100. Frequent and light applications are recommended. Before each fertilization, till the soil and remove weeds to ensure vigorous growth of the perennial roots for the next year. 5. Pest and disease control. Snails and slugs can eat the stems and leaves, which can be prevented by sprinkling fresh lime powder in the morning; caterpillars and spiders can be controlled by spraying 40% dimethoate emulsion diluted 1000 times or 25% Zhongke Meiling 3000 to 3500 times. 6. Harvesting and processing. Lysimachia nummularia can be harvested in September to October of the first year after planting, and then twice a year afterward, in June and September. When harvesting, the plant should be at least 40 to 50cm tall, cut with a sickle, leaving a 7 to 10cm stubble to facilitate regrowth for the next time or the following year. Tie 20 to 30 stems together at the top with a longer piece of Lysimachia nummularia vine and then dry in the sun to make medicinal Lysimachia nummularia. The product should be free of impurities, sand, and mold, with large leaves, green color, and few fibrous roots. Lysimachia nummularia should be stored in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture absorption and mold. Large quantities can be pressed into bundles and promptly delivered to the medicinal material purchasing department.
