The breeding method of desert generals

Desert rods are suitable for breeding in soils with good drainage and air permeability, and can be planted with peat soil mixed with small gravel, with sufficient light during the period, but to avoid exposure in summer, the suitable growth temperature is between 18 and 30 ℃, and should not be watered too much during the growth period, 5-10 granular fertilizers can be applied in the early stage, generally with a frequency of 7-10 days, desert rods contain toxicity. So it needs to be kept out of the reach of children.

I. the great breeding method of desert generals

1. Selection of basin soil

The selected soil should have good drainage and air permeability, so it is suitable to be planted with peat soil mixed with small gravel. I like the dry, warm and sunny growth environment. Desert rods are more resistant to drought and avoid dampness and shade.

2. Lighting

Need to be placed in a warm and ventilated environment for breeding, give sufficient light during the period, prevent sun exposure in summer, and take good shading measures.

3. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature is between 18 and 30 ℃. When indoor culture is in winter, the temperature should be kept above 5 ℃. If the temperature is too low, the leaves will turn red slightly.

4. Watering

The soil is suitable for semi-dry and semi-wet. Do not spray too much evenly when watering, otherwise it is easy to cause the leaves to fall and the root to rot. It should be watered thoroughly when watering, and can be watered again after the basin soil is dry.

5. Fertilizer

In the early stage of desert general stick growth, 5-10 granule fertilizer can be applied, about once every 7-10 days.

6. Toxicity

Desert General stick belongs to the cactus family, the plant is toxic, so it can not be eaten, need to be placed away from the children in the place of breeding, once there is poisoning, should be immediately sent to the hospital for formal treatment.

7. Maintenance skills

Desert stick is easy to feed, but its growth is relatively slow. The peak growing season is in spring and autumn. It should be properly ventilated and protected from sun exposure in summer. Some desert sticks may blossom in winter.

Second, the great breeding methods of desert generals

Cuttings are often used to propagate, the specific method is to cut off the branches, dry the cut, insert into the sandy soil, keep the soil slightly moist, do not pour too much water during the period.

Third, the ornamental function of desert generals

1. The plants of desert generals are all emerald green, and the stems are covered with long thorns, which have unique ornamental value. Desert generals are small plants, but after artificial cultivation, some desert generals can grow to about 2-4 meters, and the lateral buds grow vigorously.

2. What is relatively rare is the desert general's great flower. Although the desert general's stick flowering is rare, it usually blossoms more in summer, the color of the flower is red or orange, and the flowering period can last for many days, so the ornamental value is still very good.

Fourth, the purification effect of desert generals.

Desert rods also have the function of purifying the air and beautifying the environment. Desert rods can breathe at night, absorb carbon dioxide, and then release oxygen, and it can also absorb toxic gases and prevent radiation.
