"When will the herbal medicines in the Hundred Medicine Garden be considered mature? What steps need to be taken once they're mature? How do we harvest them?" Hearing Qing Yi's familiarity, Qing Shui continued to answer his questions.
"There are many different kinds of herbal medicines, so the methods of cultivation and harvesting, as well as the time required for the herbs to mature, are different. On average, our herbs mature between 10 months to two years. For some herbs, regardless of whether we harvest them one year or twenty years after maturation, there's no difference in efficacy. Some herbs, even after harvesting, simply need to be planted as usual, and we can harvest them again after a period of time. One example is the leaves of tea trees. We just need to pluck the leaves before drying, and they can be used as medicine. Most other herbs, once mature, can be replanted using the seedlings that are produced."
