Instructions d'entretien
Stachys affinis prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in evenly moist soil and benefits from moderate humidity. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
Récolte
Stachys affinis, commonly known as Chinese artichoke or crosne, is typically harvested in late autumn to early winter, after the first frost has occurred. The frost helps to sweeten the tubers. To harvest, carefully dig around the base of the plant to avoid damaging the delicate tubers, which are small and knobby. It is important to handle them gently to prevent bruising. After harvesting, the tubers should be washed thoroughly to remove any soil. They can be stored in a cool, dry place for several weeks. Regular monitoring is necessary to ensure they do not dry out or rot.
Sol
Stachys affinis prefers loamy soil with good drainage. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. A well-draining potting mix is ideal for indoor cultivation.

Propagation

Taille
Pruning is necessary to maintain the plant's shape and encourage healthy growth. Trim back any dead or damaged stems and leaves. Pruning is best done in the spring before the growing season.
