How to plant Phoenix wood planting methods and matters needing attention

Phoenix wood is native to the wild in Africa and belongs to tall deciduous trees. It can watch both leaves and flowers, and the flowers are very bright, mainly red and orange, very much like a Phoenix, hence the name. So how on earth such a beautiful plant is planted, and what needs to be paid attention to, let's take a look.

How to grow Phoenix wood

1. The planting site should be open and sunny, and should be fully watered when the weather is dry. Phoenix wood does not have high requirements for soil, and can grow well in areas with poor soil quality, because its roots have rhizobium and can fix nitrogen and increase soil fertility, but stagnant water will cause the death of rhizobium and affect plant growth.

2. Transplanting has a high survival rate before germination in spring, and it can also be planted in the rainy season, but part of the branches and leaves should be cut off to ensure its survival. The plant has strong bud power, so it can be used to cultivate large seedlings by cutting dry method, loosening the soil every year, weeding 2 or 3 times a year, watering at the right time, applying topdressing in spring and autumn, and removing root sprouting and tillering strips in time to ensure good tree growth.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of Phoenix wood

I. planting methods

1. Soil: Phoenix wood can tolerate relatively poor soil, but it prefers fertile, rich organic matter and loose soil environment. It grows in the most suitable soil environment, and its Phoenix flowers are more gorgeous and moving. The root of Phoenix wood belongs to shallow root, but its root system is very developed and firmly rooted, so it has a strong ability to resist wind.

2. Transplant and colonization: the transplant of Phoenix flower is aimed at seedling growth, and the seedlings in about 1-2 years should be transplanted to a fertile, loose and sunny environment. Transplanting is usually carried out in early spring, and it is appropriate to ensure that the row spacing of the plant is about 60 cm after transplantation.

After transplanting for 1-2 years, the seedlings can be planted as soon as they grow up, and the requirements for the soil are not high, and the soil is also barren, but the site selection should also be open and sunny.

3. Watering: Phoenix trees can withstand drought, but the amount of watering should be controlled. Because of the rhizobia in its roots, nitrogen fixation can increase soil fertility in barren soil, but stagnant water will kill Daozhou rhizobia and affect the normal growth of the whole plant.

II. Points for attention

The common pests of Phoenix wood are insects such as "night moth". The insect does harm to the larvae feeding on plant leaves and often eats up the host leaves, seriously affecting the growth and ornamental of trees. Phoenix wood pests are the strongest in July, August and September. Spodoptera litura is not harmful to the human body, but some people will have allergic symptoms.

In view of this situation, the solution is to seize the period of larval damage and spray powder before the dew is dry in the early morning. 2.5% trichlorfon powder or 1.5% parathion (1605) powder and 1.5% dimethoate powder can be used, 1.5 kg per mu.

How to trim Phoenix wood

The evacuation stratification in hybrid plastic surgery is adopted, and the number of remaining branches is determined according to the seedling height, which is usually 2-3 layers. This is not only beautiful in appearance, but also beneficial to tree vegetative growth and root development because of its many branches and leaves. For the formed tree, it is mainly to pay attention to the pruning of the whorled branches at the top of the trunk, to ensure the absolute superiority of the extended branches at the top of the central trunk, and to weaken and eliminate the branches that grow at the same time. If the branches are too strong and form competitive branches with the trunk, they must be pruned and controlled in time, and must not be left unchecked, so as not to cause bifurcation trees.

Propagation method of Phoenix wood

Phoenix wood is generally sown and propagated. In December, mature seeds of Phoenix wood are collected and exposed to the sun, and the pods can be cracked naturally, or they can be beaten with sticks to make the seeds fall off. the seeds are packed in sacks and stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, and their vitality can be preserved for more than a year. Sow again in the following spring.

Although Phoenix wood is good-looking, it is not so easy to grow, and what we generally see now are artificially planted varieties, which are generally propagated by sowing, which has a high survival rate and solves a big problem that it is on the verge of extinction, so it reminds us that we must be careful when planting it.
