How to raise bird nest fern culture methods and matters needing attention

Bird's nest fern likes to grow in warm places and has some distribution in the tropics of our country. It is a kind of plant with high ornamental value. At present, many people like to breed it for viewing, so in breeding, if the technology does not pass, it may lead to plant withering or even death. So how to raise it correctly?

How to raise bird's nest fern

1. Bird's nest ferns like warm and humid shaded environment, which can grow well with a small amount of light, and can be cultivated in bright indoor light for many years. The cultivation of bird nest fern should avoid the exposure of the scorching sun, otherwise the leaf color will become worse and the ornamental value will be affected.

2. In spring and autumn, it can be placed in the shade of outdoor trees for a short time to benefit its growth and make the leaves more glossy. The growing season should be fully watered, and when the room temperature is low in winter, it is better to keep the basin soil slightly moist.

3. In summer, in addition to a large amount of watering, it is also necessary to spray the leaf surface 2 or 3 times a day to prevent the leaf edge from drying and curling. During the peak growth period, it is generally necessary to apply thin fertilizer mixed with nitrogen and potassium every 2-3 weeks to promote the growth of new leaves.

4. If the winter temperature can be kept in 15 ℃ a casserole, the bird's nest fern can continue to grow. Bird's nest fern needs to change the basin once every year, the basin soil can be made of rotten leaf soil or peat soil, vermiculite, mixed with a small amount of river sand, plus a small amount of bone powder mud.

5. Flowerpots should use porous mud pots or porous plastic baskets as containers. The bottom of the flowerpots should be filled with about 1x3 broken tiles, then filled with fern roots, tree sawdust and moss, and then the roots of bird's nest ferns will be planted in the pots, so that they will grow more vigorously.

Culture method of bird nest fern

1. For planting, bird nest ferns like fertile peat soil and humus soil. Bird nest ferns grow for more than two to three years, and the plant shape will be filled with a basin. The basin should be changed in time. The basin change is generally carried out in spring. Some rotten leaf soil and moss can be added to the new soil, and a little gravel can be added to improve the air permeability of the soil.

2. Temperature and light, the most suitable growth temperature of bird nest fern is about 22-27, bird nest fern is not resistant to high temperature and frost, necessary shading should be carried out in summer high temperature season, and places with bright and good scattered light should be selected for outdoor culture. the light of reasonable temperature will make the leaves of bird nest fern greenish and shiny.

3. Watering, summer is the period of rapid growth of bird's nest fern, at this time should spray more water, improve air humidity, but also conducive to cooling. With the growth of the plant, the leaves will cover the whole flowerpot, watering should pay attention to watering thoroughly, so as not to dry or curl the leaves.

4. Fertilization. In the growing season of young plants, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 20 days or so, usually 4-6 times a year. When the young plant grows up and takes shape, it is not suitable to apply more fertilizer, otherwise the plant is too large, which is not conducive to indoor display, so when it grows to a predetermined size, as long as the leaf color does not yellowing, there is no need to apply fertilizer.

Points for attention of bird's nest fern

1. Peat soil or rotten leaf soil was selected to keep the temperature at 22-27 ℃.

2. Because of the high temperature in summer, the growth of new leaves of bird nest fern needs to spray more water to maintain proper air humidity and promote spore germination.

3. Keep proper sunlight and avoid direct sunlight.

4. Keep the basin soil moist when the temperature is low in winter.

Diseases and insect pests of bird's nest fern and its control

1. Nematode disease. Prevention and treatment: by removing the damaged leaves and eliminating the growth conditions of nematodes, the damage of nematodes was reduced. Insecticides such as 10 g nematodes or 25% nematodes can be sprayed and covered with fresh loess and a small amount of water can significantly reduce the population density of root-knot nematodes. You can also use hot water treatment to prevent nematodes from nesting ferns. Soak the plants in 43 ℃ hot water for about 10 to 15 minutes before planting.

2. Brown spot. Prevention and treatment: when diseased plants are found, spray should be isolated immediately, or cut off and incinerated centrally, and spray protection should be carried out at the same time. Drugs can use 1000 times of carbendazim and so on.

Bird's nest fern must pay attention to its temperature control when breeding, although it likes the light, but the summer strong light needs to be shaded. Bird's nest fern also needs to pay attention to the prevention and control of fertilizer, water, diseases and insect pests when breeding, and only by doing these work in place can its growth be guaranteed.
