Breeding methods and matters needing attention of Malachite

I. Culture methods of peacock wood

1. Temperature

Malachite likes warmth and is not cold-resistant. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 18 ℃ and 28 ℃. The overwintering temperature in winter should not be lower than 10 ℃. If the temperature is out of date in summer, it needs shading and spraying water to cool down. The weather is getting cooler in autumn, so you should move the peacock wood to a warm place indoors in time for the winter. After putting the peacock wood indoors, you should pay attention to the indoor temperature not to be hot and cold, which will make the plants freeze.

2. Lighting

Peacock wood likes plenty of light, but it is not resistant to direct sunlight. When planting malachite, malachite can be exposed to sufficient light in spring and autumn, and should be shaded slightly in summer to avoid direct light, which is not necessary in winter. We should pay attention to make the malachite wood come into contact with enough sunlight, otherwise it will make the plant grow too much and affect its appearance.

3. Moisture

Peacock wood likes a wet environment. There should be plenty of water in the spring and autumn, but watering should be dry and wet. To maintain a certain degree of air humidity, you need to often spray water to the leaves and all around the plant to avoid curling and falling off the leaves due to dry air. In winter, watering should be controlled when the temperature drops, and spraying can be used instead of watering.

4. Fertilizer

Malachite wood has a great demand for fertilizer. When breeding peacock wood, it is necessary to apply some compound fertilizer particles or mixed fertilizer and water during the growing period. In summer, when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, fertilizer should be stopped, and after autumn, fertilizer should be slowly reduced. When the temperature drops below 10 ℃, fertilizer should be stopped.

Sow seeds and raise seedlings, and sow seeds after harvesting. Wash the seeds, store them in wet sand, wait until the cracks are white, and sow them. The suitable temperature for sowing in spring is 20: 25 ℃, and seedlings will emerge in about 25: 30 days. The suitable temperature must be ensured, otherwise the low temperature will seriously affect the germination rate of seeds.

2. Cuttage propagation

Frogstone, perlite and peat soil can be selected as cutting media. Under the condition of keeping warm, the cuttings were treated with indolebutyric acid (500mg/l) or No. 1 ABT rooting powder for 5 to 10 seconds, and the ideal rooting effect was obtained. The length of the cuttings is about 5cm to 10cm. Cut off one or two leaves at the base with scissors and insert them at a depth of about 1/2 of the ear length, then spray water, cover the sprinkler with film, and keep the temperature within 20 to 25 ℃. It will take about 20 days to take root.

3. Striping propagation

If it is a clustered plant planted in the ground, it should be under low pressure in April; if it is a higher potted plant, a bamboo pole should be inserted as a pillar, and then the soil mass in the pressing part should be tied to the bamboo pole.
