Methods and matters needing attention in hydroponic culture of rubber trees maintenance of rubber trees after hydroponic culture

Rubber tree must be no stranger to it. It is a common plant in daily life. At present, it can be seen in many places in our country. Rubber tree in the cultivation of the most used is the method of soil culture, in fact, rubber tree can also be hydroponic, its hydroponic method is very simple, let's learn it together!

Methods of hydroponic culture of rubber trees

The main results are as follows: 1. In the hydroponic culture of rubber trees, the small soil culture plants with better plant shape should be selected and raised by root washing method. The old root is not perishable and can quickly adapt to the hydroponic environment.

2. The strong growing shoots can also be cut off from May to September, the basal leaves can be removed and the incisions can be dried and then directly watered and cultured. Because the crown is heavy, it is best to add ceramsite to the container, which is not only conducive to plant fixation, but also conducive to rooting.

3. Begin to remember that you have to change the water every two or three days. After taking root, you can reduce the number of times to change the water. When you grow the right amount of air root, you can transfer it to the flowerpot to compensate for the soil. It will grow stronger.

Matters needing attention in hydroponic culture of rubber trees

The hydroponic cuttings of the rubber tree take root for 1 to 1 and a half months, and the room temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 ℃. If the room temperature is too low, you can cover the rubber tree with a layer of plastic bag, tie it tightly under it, and put it in a sunlit place, which can survive the winter safely.

Maintenance of rubber trees after hydroponic culture

The main results are as follows: 1. Rubber trees like warm and humid environment, the most suitable temperature is 22 ~ 32 ℃, the overwintering temperature is about 8 ℃, the negative tolerance is strong, and the methods of hydroponics and soil culture are basically the same.

2. Change fresh water every 2-3 days at the beginning of hydroponic culture, and gradually grow water and take root after about two weeks. When the plant gradually adapts to the hydroponic environment, move the container to a sunny place and add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water. Change the water and nutrient solution every two weeks after rooting.

3, clean the container regularly, the hydroponic container is easy to breed bacteria, while changing water, clean the inner wall of the container, clean the roots of the rubber tree every two months, and trim the old roots.

How to trim a rubber tree

1. Pruning season. When a rubber tree is pruned, it is usually re-pruned in winter and the branches are greatly trimmed, that is, the erect strong branches are cut off from the base. In summer, the growth of lateral branches is generally controlled, the strong and the weak are controlled, and the tree potential is adjusted. Follow the principles of strong lateral branches, heavy cutting of strong branches and light cutting of thin and weak branches to accelerate the growth of plants. When pruning in summer, you should pay attention to not pruning on rainy days, which can easily infect the wound.

2. Pruning height. When pruning rubber trees, pay attention to smooth cuts, stubble height early 1--2cm, not too high or too low. When pruning, we should pay attention to protruding the trunk and main branches, thinning too dense branches, and doing a good job of sprouting. In this way, unnecessary lateral buds can be reduced, the plant type is better, and nutrients are more concentrated.

3. Pick the heart. When the rubber tree grows to 30cm to 50cm high, cut off the top leaves and buds. In general, the 2-3 lateral buds near the top are very easy to germinate, and the lateral branches are cup-shaped or Y-shaped after the lateral branches grow, and the coring operation is very easy.

4. Pruning and maintenance. In the rubber tree after pruning to pay attention to protect the plant, the first is the cut, there will be a lot of juice to avoid the loss of too much juice, leading to infection. It is usually good to apply some plant ash to the wound. Cut branches can be used for cutting propagation, relatively simple, generally maintain the temperature and appropriate humidity, in the semi-overcast environment, about half a month can take root.

Rubber tree hydroponics must choose a suitable container, but also need to do a good job of disinfection. In the later stage of hydroponic culture, it is necessary to strengthen maintenance, and it is also important to add nutrient solution properly. After a certain degree of growth, the rubber tree needs to be pruned in order to ensure its growth.
