How to cultivate reticulate grass the methods and matters needing attention in reticulate grass culture

Reticulate grass is a kind of plant with high ornamental value, and its main ornamental point is in the leaves. The leaves of the grass are covered with many lines like fishing nets, so they are named after them. At present, netting grass is very popular with consumers on the market, and many people want to raise it. However, before breeding, we must first have an in-depth understanding of its breeding methods.

How to raise reticulate grass

1. Reticulate grass soil should buy ceramsite, rotten leaf soil and medium-thick river sand in the flower market to prepare. Ceramsite is laid in the lowest layer with a thickness of 2 cm, and rotten leaf soil and river sand are prepared in a proportion of 4:1 and laid on ceramsite with a thickness of 4 cm.

2, the reticulate grass is very afraid of the cold, the ambient temperature must not be lower than 13 ℃, otherwise the reticulated grass is easy to fall leaves, stop growing or even die, it is best to put it in a warmer room with a room temperature of 20 ℃-25 ℃, so that the reticulated grass will grow more exuberant.

3. The reticulate grass can neither be without light nor too strong, so it is best to put it by the window facing south, or other places of astigmatism that will not be directly illuminated by the sun, so as to avoid the direct sunlight causing the leaves to curl up and dim, affecting the ornamental value.

Culture method of reticulate grass

1. Light and temperature. Reticulate grass prefers semi-shady growth environment to direct sunlight. In summer, it is necessary to shade the reticulate grass to cover most of the sun. In winter, you can move the reticulate grass to a place where you can come into contact with the sun for maintenance. The suitable temperature for the growth of reticulate grass is between 18 ℃ and 24 ℃, and it is not hardy. The best temperature for overwintering in winter is above 10 ℃, not lower than 8 ℃.

2. Soil. When planting reticulate grass, you can choose soil rich in humus, which requires strong air permeability and water retention capacity, and peat soil can also be used.

3. Watering reticulate grass needs to master certain skills, because the root system of reticulated grass is relatively shallow, so whether there is more water or less water, the influence is not good. Basically to keep the basin soil slightly moist, not too dry or too wet, too dry will make the leaves lack of water, too wet will make the roots of grass rot.

4. Reticulate grass has a high demand for fertilizer, but fertilization should follow the rule of applying fertilizer thinly. In the period of vigorous growth of reticulate grass, you can apply fertilizer to it every half a month. In order to make the leaves green, you can spray some manganese sulfate solution to the leaves.

5. Pruning cuttings. Sometimes the top branch can be properly trimmed to promote lateral branch growth, if it is to be used for cuttings, then the length of the pruned branches can not be shorter than 10CM, the branches can be inserted into the medium-thick river sand, watering and lighting are the same as the plants, it is best to choose summer cuttings to propagate.

Matters needing attention of Reticulate Grass

The main results are as follows: 1. Patellar diseases and insect pests often occur in the growth process of reticulate grass, but there are also diseases such as leaf rot and root rot, as well as pests such as shell insects, snails and red spiders.

2. In the growing period, in order to promote its multi-branching and control the height of the plant, it is necessary to pick the heart frequently, which is beneficial to the vigorous growth of the grass.

Insect pests and their control of Rhizoctonia lanceolata

The main results are as follows: 1. The common pests of reticulate grass are cabbage worm, red spider, aphid, shell worm, snail and mouse woman.

2. When there are pests in the grass, if the harm is mild, we can first take the way of artificial capture to kill the pests. If there are many pests, manual capture methods are difficult to operate, you can also use safe hunting methods, such as using some non-chemical methods, such as pepper water, garlic water and so on. In addition, chemical methods can also be used to dispel insects, that is, spraying pesticides. It can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC, or special pesticides can be used to kill insects.

3, in addition to these diseases and insect pests, in the daily maintenance of reticulate grass, we should pay attention to avoid excessive direct sunlight, which will make the leaves burn, appear small holes, and affect the viewing.

In fact, the breeding method of reticulate grass is not difficult, first of all, we should understand its growth habits, shade in summer and maintain a temperature of about 10 degrees in winter. The proportion of soil is also very important, and the management of fertilizer and water needs to be strengthened in the later stage of culture. Only in this way can its growth be guaranteed.
