Инструкции по уходу
Yacón requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and prefers moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant benefits from a dormancy period during the dry season.
Урожай
Smallanthus sonchifolius, commonly known as yacón, is typically ready for harvest about 7 months after planting. The best time to harvest is in the late fall, just before the first frost. To harvest, carefully dig around the base of the plant to avoid damaging the tubers. Lift the plant and gently remove the soil from the tubers. It is important to handle the tubers with care as they can bruise easily. After harvesting, the tubers should be left in the sun for a few days to sweeten before storage. Proper storage in a cool, dry place can extend their shelf life.
Земля
Yacón prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support the plant's nutrient needs. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Удобрения
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for Yacón. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and tuber development.
Пересадка
Repot Yacón tubers in the early spring before the growing season begins. Choose a larger container with good drainage and fresh, nutrient-rich soil. Handle the tubers carefully to avoid damage.
Распространение
Yacón can be propagated by dividing the tubers. This is best done in the early spring. Each division should have at least one growing point or 'eye'. Plant the divisions in well-prepared soil and water thoroughly.
Обрезка
Pruning is necessary to maintain the plant's shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and stems regularly. Prune back the plant after the growing season to prepare it for dormancy.
Токсичность
Yacón is not toxic to pets or humans. The tubers are edible and often consumed raw or cooked. However, the leaves and stems are not typically eaten.
Дополнительный
Yacón is known for its health benefits, including its high content of inulin, a type of prebiotic fiber that supports digestive health. The plant can be a valuable addition to a home garden, providing both nutritional and medicinal benefits.
