Culture methods and matters needing attention of coral rods

selecting sandy soil with good drainage permeability and rich calcium for cultivation, then selecting a healthy stem segment and planting it in a pot, spraying a small amount of water, applying decomposed liquid fertilizer twice every half month in spring and late summer and early autumn, keeping the pot soil dry rather than wet during the growth period, and keeping the light relatively stable, changing the pot soil once before the spring growth period in the second year after transplantation.

1. Soil requirements

Can choose to use drainage permeability is good, rich in calcium sandy soil potted coral rod, available shell 2, river sand 3, cinder 2, moldy soil 3 (pond soil) prepared.

II. Cultivation methods

1, prepare a relatively large coarse mud pot with good soil, and maintain a certain humidity, and then select a relatively strong stem section implanted in the pot, and then spray a little water, so that the surface of the pot soil adhesion, and then put it under the sun exposure, during the period can not often water, can let the pot soil keep dry, wait for a period of time, there will be a few stems above the beginning of small green leaves, stems will slowly become flat, widen, and then appear palmar trend.

2, during the period can not often water, so that can force the growth of palmate stems, and then new out, if from the beginning is always strong and moist, then the new stem will not appear clapping trend, but according to the original plant appearance long, waiting for the stem to grow to about 2 cm wide, you can carry on the pot.

III. Fertilization methods

Coral sticks avoid chemical fertilizer, chemical fertilizer is easy to cause root rot, so you can apply decomposed liquid fertilizer twice every 15 days in spring and late summer and early autumn. The soil in the basin should be dry and not wet. If it is too wet for a long time, it will lead to rot in the lower part of the plant, and it will spread to the whole plant soon.

IV. Lighting requirements

If the coral rod is placed in the room with insufficient light for a long time, it is easy to overgrow, the new stem will also become light green, and relatively thin, but the plant will be moved outdoors in time, and the new stem will become thicker again, so do not change the light conditions of the coral rod at will during the breeding period, so that it is appropriate to keep the light relatively stable.

5. Change pots every year

In the second year after transplantation, you can choose to change the pot soil once before the spring growth period. When you enter the vigorous growth period, you will all grow palm-shaped stems, but the stems in this period are not very large, and the plants are not tall. If you want the stems to grow bigger, you can break off some redundant stems and buds, and wait until the spring of the third year to replace them with larger flower pots.

VI. Avoid decay

All formed palmate plants should be paid great attention to watering and fertilizing. If the plants rot, it will be a great loss of years of hard work. Therefore, attention should be paid to avoid applying concentrated fertilizer, dry soil rather than wet soil, and maintain sufficient light.
