How to raise Dryopteris Dryopteris and its breeding methods and matters needing attention

Dryopteris Dryopteris is a kind of plant with high ornamental value, which is mainly watched by leaves, which are evergreen all the year round, which looks like the tail of a wolf from a distance, so it is so named. Now there are a lot of people on the market who want to breed Wolftail fern, but before breeding, many people don't know the specific maintenance methods. Let's take a look at it.

How to raise Wolftail Fern

1. For breeding wolftail ferns, you can choose flowerpots, high pots or hanging orchids according to the needs of viewing, or you can choose some unique flowerpots, such as special snake pots or a section of rotten wood. The soil is mainly air permeable, which requires good drainage, and rotten leaf soil can be used.

2. Illumination: Dryopteris is an evergreen herbaceous epiphytic fern, which likes warm and semi-shady environment and is suitable for scattered light. It can not let direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to wilt and curl. Family cultivation can be placed in a sunny place indoors.

3. Temperature: Wolftail fern originates from New Zealand and Japan, and is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Oceania, America and Pacific Islands. Dryopteris is not resistant to high temperature or cold. The suitable temperature is 20 ℃ ~ 26 ℃. The growth is poor when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃ or less than 15 ℃, and it should not be lower than 5 ℃ in winter.

Culture method of Dryopteris Dryopteris

1, air humidity: like high wet environment, not resistant to drying, during maintenance should frequently spray water to the plant and growth environment to humidify, the appropriate humidity is about 80%, too dry will cause leaf edge withered yellow, or even the whole leaf withered yellow.

2. Soil and fertilization: loose and breathable sandy loam is better. Dryopteris fern has low demand for fertilizer and does not like thick fertilizer, so it can be applied less thinly in the process of conservation.

3. Watering: Wolftail fern should keep the basin soil moist, and the water supply should be sufficient in the growing season, which can be watered once every 2 to 3 days. Although it is necessary to keep the soil moist, there is no harm in slightly drying during the watering interval for Dryopteris. Wolftail fern can not be watered too much, too much water can lead to leaf shedding.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of Dryopteris vulgaris

1. Methods of reproduction. Dryopteris is a fern that has no seeds and usually propagates through spores. However, in general, family farming is propagated through cuttings, which is carried out in spring.

2. Diseases and insect pests. The main diseases in the growth process of Dryopteris are root rot, and the pests are mainly caused by aphids and red spiders, all of which are caused by environmental factors.

The Disease and Control of Dryopteris Dryopteris

1. Freezing injury. Whenever the temperature drops in winter, if the humidity of the basin soil is high, it will cause young leaves to suffer frost injury and lodge, and even cause tubers to rot. Prevention and control of frost injury include keeping the temperature above ten degrees during the winter and keeping the basin soil dry.

2. Burns. In the hot summer season or sunny weather after rain, or just moved from indoor to outdoor for maintenance, if directly exposed to the sun, it is easy to suffer burns, resulting in leaves whitening, or even leaf necrosis and blackening. The control method is to move the plant to a semi-shady place after the beginning of summer, especially in late spring and early summer or when it is sunny after rain.

3. Brown spot. The symptom of brown spot of Wolftail fern is that the leaves have round spots, showing grayish brown and yellowish brown. The main cause is high temperature, high humidity and poor ventilation. Prevention and treatment methods include defense methods to remove diseased leaves in time, or treatment methods to spray leaves with 50% carbendazim wettable powder 600 times solution or 40% chlorothalonil suspension 500 times solution, once every ten days, three or four times, with good results.

In fact, the breeding method of Dryopteris is not difficult, but when breeding, we must pay attention to temperature and light, and shade should be done in places with strong light. In the later stage of culture, we need to strengthen the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests and fertilizer and water, so as to make the fern grow well.
