How do coral pillars reproduce?

The coral pillar is actually a green jade tree, a plant of the genus Euphorbiaceae. Originated in the Mediterranean coastal area of Africa, it is now distributed in the United States, Malaysia, India, the United Kingdom and other regions. It is used as a drug to treat some diseases in some countries. So how do coral pillars reproduce?

I. Reproduction of coral pillars

There are two main propagation methods of coral column, cutting propagation and tissue culture. Generally, we usually use cutting propagation. In cuttage propagation, we should first choose a good medium. Generally, it is more suitable to mix the rotten leaf soil of 2 to 3 and the garden soil of 1 to 3 and add a small amount of river sand as the culture soil.

Cutting propagation is generally carried out in the warm season from May to June. Cut the thick and full top branches, take 2 segments of the stem as cuttings, about 8~10cm, dry slightly and insert them into the sand bed, which uses yellow sand or perlite as the medium, or drained sand loam. It took root about 3 weeks after insertion. You can also use single-leaf cuttings, cut leaves to dry, and then insert into the sand bed, which is easy to take root under warm conditions, take root about 4 weeks after cutting, and put on the pot when the root is long 2~3cm. It can be planted in the flowerpot of 10~15cm after rooting.

II. Key points for the conservation of coral columns

1. The coral column likes light and should be placed in a warm environment with enough light, otherwise it will not blossom.

two。 Green jade tree is a succulent succulent plant, very drought-resistant, usually not too much watering, as far as possible is not dry, watering is thoroughly.

3. In the hot summer season, beware of heavy rain after exposure to the sun, resulting in fallen leaves.

4. The overwintering temperature of coral column cultivated in greenhouse should be above 5 ℃, and the optimum temperature for growth is 20 ℃-24 ℃.

5. The thin liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium should be applied every 7 to 10 days in the growing season, and the concentrated fertilizer should not be applied.

In addition, the coral column white milk is highly toxic and has been included in the Chinese plant atlas database of poisonous plants. If you have children at home, you must pay attention to the maintenance of the coral column.
