The breeding method of Boston fern is easy to raise

Generally speaking, ferns reproduce mostly through spores, but it is difficult for artificially planted ferns to obtain their spores, and the planting scope in the courtyard is limited, and the spores can not be allowed to take root and germinate. therefore, we usually use the method of ramets to reproduce Boston ferns, which not only has a controllable effect, but also has a high success rate.

Propagation method of Boston fern

1. Breeding time of Boston fern

The ramet propagation of Boston fern can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, and the ramet in early spring from April to May can be combined with turning the basin.

2. The propagation method of Boston fern

In early summer, the stolon growing on the plant will grow rapidly and grow small plants with roots. In summer, choose the plants with strong growth, and then cut off the small plants with roots mentioned above, and then plant them separately. Combined with turning the pot for ramet, we should first deduct the plant upside down from the flowerpot, shake off the old soil, and then cut it into several separate planting, and then put it in the shade, about a week or so will be able to maintain normally. When potted, the soil can choose the mixed culture soil of rotten leaf soil, river sand and garden soil, and it would be better to use water moss as the medium.

3. Post-breeding management of Boston fern

After ramet, it should be watered thoroughly, and it should be cultivated in a place with bright astigmatism indoors, not in a dark place, but should also be avoided. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-25 degrees Celsius. In winter, it is necessary to keep the temperature above 10 ℃ to ensure its safety in overwintering. Pay attention to keeping the basin soil moist, not too dry or too wet. It does not need a lot of fertilizer, in the growing period, once a month to apply thin rotten cake fertilizer is good, be careful not to stain the leaves, otherwise it is easy to cause damage. Change the basin every other year in early spring.

Is Boston fern easy to raise?

In the cultivation of Boston fern, it is best to choose high-quality seedlings produced professionally, use imported peat of Pinnacle 10-30mm specification with good looseness, drainage and ventilation, break the peat and mix well with water, and wait for planting in cup. Boston ferns should keep the basin soil moist and have an adequate supply of water in the growing season. Although it is necessary to keep the soil moist, the Boston fern leaves at the bottom will wither and fall off if the water is often dry. Generally speaking, Boston fern is a relatively easy plant to raise.

How to fertilize Boston fern

The best way to apply fertilizer is to add rotten barnyard manure before planting the plant in the flowerpot (remember to change the flowerpot every other year in spring, not more). In the peak season of plant growth, you can choose a more diluted fertilizer when topdressing. When applying fertilizer, please avoid dipping the chemical fertilizer on the leaves. If the leaves of the plant are accidentally stained, rinse immediately with clean water.

Watering method of Boston fern

1. When to water

Its demand for water is not very high, so when watering, as long as the plant is properly watered, the frequency and amount of watering can not be too high, as long as the soil in the basin is dry or not. However, in the luxuriant growth period, it is necessary to ensure a certain amount of water, when the soil should be slightly wet. In particular, it is worth mentioning that hot summer is not the more water the better, still keep watering 1 or 2 times a day, not too often. If you accidentally forget or do not replenish the water of the plant for a long time, they are particularly prone to withering and falling leaves.

2. Spray water according to humidity

Although this kind of plant does not have high requirements for the content of water in the soil, it is absolutely inseparable from water. It is not resistant to drying. During plant maintenance, water should be sprayed many times to the plant and the environment where it grows to increase the humidity around it. According to the editor, it is understood that the best humidity is about 75% Mel 80%. If it is extremely hot and dry, it may also cause the edges of the leaves to turn yellow and wither the whole leaves seriously. Having said so much, I believe everyone has a full understanding of how to water this plant. As long as it is carefully cultivated in accordance with the above precautions, your Boston fern will certainly thrive.

Boston fern is a relatively easy plant to raise, although artificially planted Boston ferns must be more difficult to breed than wild ferns, but compared with other delicate flowers and plants, ferns should not be too strong.
