How to raise dancing grass

1. Soil. Dance grass likes loose, fertile, well-drained soil, which can be fertile sandy soil or humus soil, with rotten leaf mud as the best.

2. Light. Dance grass likes light, if the lack of light, the plant is easy to grow, become slender, thin and easy to lodge. Pay attention to increase the light, if the weather is not very good, you can often turn the flowerpot, so that all angles of the branches and leaves of the plant to receive sunlight, so that the dance grass can fully grow.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of dancing grass

1. Culture methods:

1. Lighting: yellow rust often occurs when the dancing grass lacks light, and the symptom is that strips of yellow spots appear on the leaves and stems, making the plant slender, thin and easy to invert, so the lighting time should be increased. Turn the flowerpot as often as possible so that the branches and leaves of the plant are exposed to sunlight at all angles.

2. Watering: dance grass is watered with a dry surface culture medium, but the interior is still moist. Watering time is as early as possible in the morning to avoid the sun. The water had better be placed for 4-6 minutes to remove chlorine from the tap water. It is best to use a thin-eyed pot when watering, gradually moving closer to the plant from far away from the plant.

3. Fertilization: the first fertilization should be carried out when the dancing grass grows for more than one month, and the second fertilization is needed when the plant grows to 2-3 months and the flowering stage of the dance grass. When the temperature rises to 7: 10 ℃, it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management and increase the application of available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as topdressing.

2. points for attention:

When the dancing grass seedlings grow to nearly an inch, you need to move the pot to plant. When moving the pot, be careful not to hurt the fibrous root of the dance grass. When you move the seedling out, dig a hole of appropriate width and depth in the center of the flowerpot, let its root system fully expand, cover the culture medium and gently press it. Then pour the right amount of water.

Diseases and insect pests of Dance Grass and its Control

1. There are few insect pests in dancing grass, and the main pests are ground tiger, powder medium, thrips, mites, armyworm and so on.

Prevention and control methods: pay more attention in the usual maintenance process, observe the growth status of dancing grass, manual disinfestation, chemical control and so on. Once the disease occurs, you can choose the corresponding drugs for prevention and treatment.

2. Common diseases of dancing grass although there are few insect pests, there are more diseases. The main diseases of dancing grass are root rot, powdery mildew, anthracnose, leaf spot and blight.

Prevention and treatment: when the disease occurs, the diseased leaves should be destroyed in time to avoid the spread of the disease. Use appropriate chemicals if necessary. For example, spraying 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times, or topiramate wettable powder 500 times, it can be sprayed once in 10-14 days, and can be cured after about 3 times.

How does dancing grass reproduce?

1. Sowing: dancing grass is usually sown. Because there is a layer of wax on the surface of the seed, it is difficult for water to infiltrate, and there are substances on the surface of the seed coat that inhibit germination. To accelerate germination, wipe off the wax with dry fine sand, then soak it in 38-40 ℃ warm water to gradually pick out the bulging seeds and sow them. It can blossom in the same year when sowing from March to May, and can blossom in the first half of next year after sowing at the end of May.

2. Cutting: the cuttage propagation of dancing grass can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, and it can also be carried out indoors or in greenhouse in winter. Cut the sturdy branches of the same year as cuttings, cut them into 5 cm long segments, insert them into fine sand basins, insert them into 2 parts of ear length, and pour water through them after insertion. Insert the basin in a cool and ventilated place, cover the glass plate and often spray water to moisturize. It can take root after 10 days, and after a few days, go to cover and stop squatting seedlings for 3 days, and then it can be planted in the basin.

Dance grass in breeding must pay attention to the light, it likes light, so to strengthen the exposure of the sun. The face-to-face management of fat and water is also very important in the cultivation of dancing grass. If you want the dancing grass to grow well, you also need to reproduce at the right time, of which sowing and cutting propagation are the most common, and you can choose one.
