How to plant potted mulberry trees bonsai planting methods and matters needing attention

Mulberry can be used not only as a tall tree, as a landscaping plant, but also as a small and exquisite potted plant, but there is a great difference between planting mulberry potted plants and planting mulberry plants. because mulberry trees that grow in the open air on the ground can absorb water and nutrients from the ground and enjoy natural washing, while pots completely need artificial care.

How to plant potted mulberry trees

Mulberry is more like light, it has a strong adaptability to the climate, can be cold-resistant, but also can grow in a warmer environment, it is more resistant to drought, but also can withstand water and moisture. Strong adaptability to the soil, like loose and fertile soil.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of Mulberry Bonsai

1. Planting time of mulberry potted plants

It is generally chosen to plant in winter and early spring, and the soil temperature should be stabilized at about 10 ℃ and 12 min.

2. Preparation before planting mulberry in pot.

Select good quality mulberry seedlings free from diseases and insect pests; prepare a container of suitable size, and it is best to choose a larger pot for mulberry potted plants. Mulberry trees do not have high requirements for soil, so you can use ordinary garden soil which is relatively loose and breathable. It is best to add some coarse sand particles or cinder to the soil, which is conducive to water permeability and plays a role in preventing soil consolidation. Before planting mulberry trees, you can first add some rotten organic fertilizer to the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer.

3. The planting method of mulberry pot culture.

When planting in summer and autumn, we need to pay attention not to hurt the roots as far as possible and protect the roots of mulberry seedlings; when planting in winter and spring, the overlong main roots need to be slightly trimmed to promote multiple lateral roots. The mulberry seedlings will be buried in the matrix, cover the soil gently to stretch the roots, and then gently pat and compact the soil and then loosen the soil, then pass through the rhizome about 3 cm, drenching enough water to fix the roots.

4. Maintenance of mulberry after pot planting.

It is suitable to put mulberry potted plants in ventilated and breathable places such as open-air balconies; keep the soil moderately moist, drench the soil in time when it is dry, and drain in time when it rains; loosen the soil and weed, which is conducive to the growth of mulberry roots; and insist on eating less and eating more when fertilizing. After mulberry seedlings sprout and open leaves, you can apply dung water or urea water and fertilizer for once. In the future, according to the specific growth situation, we can apply fertilizer for 1 time and 2 times. In addition, in the process of mulberry breeding, special attention should be paid to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

How to fertilize mulberry trees

1. The spring fertilizer of mulberry

Also known as budding fertilizer. Generally applied before mulberry sprouting, mainly applying quick-acting fertilizer. The application amount of spring fertilizer accounts for about 25% of the annual fertilizer application. 30%. Spring fertilizer can be divided into two stages, the first fertilization is carried out in late March, about 1000-1500 kg of feces and urine per mu, and about 2 kg of urea per mu, the first dosage is generally about 70% of the total spring fertilizer, and the second fertilization is carried out in late April, about 10 kg urea per mu.

2. The summer fertilizer of mulberry

Fertilization time is generally divided into two times before mulberry summer felling to early autumn silkworm rearing. The first fertilization was carried out immediately after summer felling, and the fertilizer was suitable for manure, compost and other organic fertilizer together with chemical fertilizer, about 1055 kg of manure per mu, 30 kg of urea and 15 kg of phosphate fertilizer per mu, and the second fertilization was carried out after sprouting. At this time, the fertilizer is mainly available fertilizer, and about 15 kg of urea is applied per mu. The amount of summer fertilizer used is about 40% Murray 50% of the annual amount.

3. The autumn fertilizer of mulberry

The fertilization time is after the mulberry leaves are harvested in autumn, the autumn fertilizer should not be applied too late, and it should not exceed the end of August at the latest, otherwise it will be difficult to freeze the delayed production of branches and shoots. Fertilizer mainly chooses quick-acting fertilizer, usually, 15 kg urea per mu is suitable. The amount of autumn fertilizer generally accounts for 10% of the annual fertilizer application, about 20% of the total amount of autumn fertilizer.

4. The winter fertilizer of mulberry

Fertilizing the soil before freezing in winter, the amount of winter fertilizer generally accounts for about 20% of the annual fertilizer application, and it is suitable to choose organic fertilizer, such as barnyard manure, compost, river pond mud, etc., which can be combined with winter ploughing.

Prevention and control of mulberry diseases and insect pests

1. Mulberry powdery mildew

In the initial stage of the disease, powdery round spots were produced on the back of the leaves, and then gradually expanded into pieces, while the front color of mulberry leaves changed to yellowish brown; in the later stage, there were dense yellow spots in the center of these spots, and then turned black. The disease mostly occurs in the leaves in the middle of the branches, varieties with early hardening, and so on. The main prevention and control methods are as follows:

1. To raise silkworms in batches in autumn, the lower leaves of mulberry strips should be picked first.

2. timely drought resistance in the dry season to delay mulberry leaf hardening.

3. At the initial stage of the disease, the leaves were sprayed with 1000 times of topiramate, and then sprayed again at intervals of 10-15 days.

2. Mulberry brown spot

It often occurs in tender leaves, especially in the weather of high temperature, humidity and lack of sunshine. At the initial stage, it is a water-stained sesame granular disease spot, the color is dark brown, and then it expands into a nearly round or irregular disease spot, on which there is a white or reddish pink mass, and then the color becomes dark brown, and the leaf color changes slightly yellow. in serious cases, the disease spots are connected to each other, and the leaves are withered and yellow and easy to fall off. The main prevention and control are as follows:

Spraying leaves with 1500 times of carbendazim or 1500 times of methyl topiramate at the initial stage of the disease can achieve a better control effect and has no drug damage to silkworms.

Mulberry beetles

There are many kinds, mainly black velvet beetle, brown beetle, copper green beetle and so on. Adults gnawed on mulberry buds, tender shoots and mulberry leaves to cause harm, especially on seedling buds. The prevention and control methods are as follows:

1. Making use of the false death of the beetle, when the adults mate and feed at dusk, they are killed and killed.

2. Light traps and kills adults.

3. When ploughing and turning the soil in winter, the grubs in the roots of larvae and seedlings should be removed with the plough.

4. 1000 times of 80% dichlorvos emulsion or 1000 times of 50% phoxim emulsion can be sprayed in the evening to kill adults.

Although there are differences in the growth environment and access to nutrients, the living habits of mulberry trees do not change, so as long as we master the living habits of mulberry trees, and then take proper care of mulberry trees according to the changes of the environment, we will be able to understand everything.
