How to raise alum root culture methods and matters needing attention

Alum root is a kind of ornamental plant with leaves as an ornamental. Its size is relatively small, and the colors of leaves are diversified. Generally, red, yellow, green and purple are the most common. Now many people will choose alum root for breeding, but most people are not very clear about its breeding method before breeding, so let's take a look at it!

How to raise alum root

1. The best breeding time: as long as you avoid the high temperature at noon in summer, you can reproduce all the year round.

2. The best growing soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral and acidic soil rich in humus.

3. Growth humidity requirements: do not like moisture, like semi-dry and wet environment.

4. The best growth temperature: the growth is good above 15 degrees below zero, but higher than 30 degrees, stop growing.

5, the best growth light: alum root cold-resistant, like Yang and Yin.

Alum root culture method

1. Light and temperature. Alum is cold-resistant, sunny and shady, so it is very suitable for maintenance in a cool semi-shady place. In summer, avoid direct sunlight, properly shade, and remember to keep ventilated. The alum root can be maintained in the sun in winter. The alum root is cold-resistant and can grow at a temperature above-15 ℃.

2. Alum root can be watered twice a week in summer, once a week in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter, even without watering. Watering is determined according to the tree condition of the plant. In addition, it can be watered in the afternoon in summer and less in the morning on a sunny day when it is cold in winter. Don't spray water on the core.

3. Fertilization. Culture alum root, we should also pay attention to proper fertilization, in fact, alum root in the soil with less fertilizer content, the growth will be better, but can also tolerate the soil with higher fertilizer content. You can add a little more nitrogen fertilizer.

4. Methods of reproduction. The propagation of alum root mainly adopts the methods of sowing propagation and separate plant propagation, and cutting propagation can also be used. Ramets of flowers, and so on the mother plant almost burst pot, can split. When dividing plants, pay attention to sterilization and disinfection, planting is not strict with the soil, if there are conditions, then slight acid, water retention and ventilation, get some peat soil mixed with perlite about four to one, regularly on the fertilizer, do not accumulate water.

Matters needing attention in alum root culture

1. Whether the alum root can be exposed in winter mainly depends on the temperature. Although alum root is a relatively cold-tolerant and shade-tolerant plant, the low temperature in winter can hurt it. In winter, it is necessary to decide whether to put it indoors or outdoors according to the climatic environment and the growth of alum roots.

2. When curing alum root, the soil must be loose and breathable, and some river sand can be mixed in the soil to increase air permeability and drainage. Watering should follow the principle of dryness and rewatering, especially in summer, do not cause root rot because of stagnant water.

3. Alum root likes light, and sufficient sunlight is beneficial to the growth of alum root. But the summer sun is too strong for the alum root, so the alum root needs to avoid direct sunlight in the summer, and can be maintained on a shaded balcony, or in a shady place, such as an air-conditioned room.

Diseases and insect pests of alum root and its control

1. No matter what kind of plants, diseases and insect pests are fatal blows. Once diseases and insect pests occur, they will affect the growth of plants and even make them die. Alum root is a newly introduced plant, diseases and insect pests are relatively rare, occasionally aphids, gray mold and root rot occur. Therefore, prevention is the main way to prevent diseases and insect pests.

2. In the process of maintenance, if you are worried about the threat of diseases and insect pests, you can often spray some pesticides or carbendazim for disinfection. The maintenance of the environment needs to be semi-shaded and kept cool to avoid direct sunlight, which can reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests.

The culture method of alum root can start from its growth habits, pay special attention to its light and temperature when breeding, and shade well when it is hot in summer. The fertilizer and water technology of alum root is also very important, and an appropriate amount of fertilization in Jiaoshui River is an inevitable factor to ensure its growth.
