The Cuttage Propagation method of Colored Leaf Grass how to sow

Coloured leaf grass is a kind of ornamental plant with leaves, its leaves are generally red and green, and some varieties will have different forms, which is very beautiful. Colourful leaf grass is very popular with consumers at present, and many people want to plant it. But before planting, you need to know its planting technology.

The Cuttage Propagation method of Colored Leaf Grass

1. Time. The propagation methods of colourful leaf grass are sowing and cutting, of which the cutting propagation method is the simplest. It can be carried out all year round, except for low temperature in winter and full rooting, the temperature in spring and summer is suitable, which is the best cutting season.

2. Branches. Colourful leaf grass is a perennial herb, but it is cultivated one more year in the family. It is very suitable for the propagation of terminal bud cuttings. Select 3-5 nodes with terminal buds. Stem nodes 5 to 10 cm in length are used as cuttings. After cutting, the local leaves are trimmed to avoid the failure of cuttings caused by the water loss of too many branches. Usually, all the leaves in the lower part of the branch should be cut off, and it is enough to keep the upper leaves.

3. Methods. The color leaf grass grows rapidly, and the robust branches can be cut in the flowerpot with a diameter of 7.5 cm. After the cutting is successful, it can be maintained directly in the flowerpot. If the space in the home is larger and the environment is suitable, it can be cut in a larger flowerpot.

How to sow colourful leaf grass

The main results are as follows: 1. Coloured leaf grass can be sown by pot sowing in all seasons. First of all, it is usually carried out when it is warm in March. It can be mixed well with mature humic soil and plain sandy soil, and then put into the seedling basin.

2. Soak the seedling basin containing fine sand in water, then sow the seeds according to the sowing method of small seeds, cover the thin soil, and then cover it with a glass plate or plastic film.

3. During this period, the basin soil should be kept moist and watered reasonably. After a period of time, it will take root and sprout and grow into seedlings, and then separate seedlings and transplant them.

How to water colourful leaf grass

1. In the period of rapid growth of the plant, water should be replenished in time to prevent the surrounding environment from being too dry. Under normal circumstances, when the basin soil turns white in spring and autumn, and the weight of the tile basin becomes lighter obviously, it can replenish enough water. But not too much, or the plants will grow too high.

2. In summer, because the leaf area of the plant is relatively large, so the evaporation is also large, so it is necessary to irrigate enough water. Otherwise, the plants will wilt. But watering during this period should first put the plants in the shade, so that the temperature of the tile basin is lower before watering (so that the roots of the plants will not be hurt by the difference in temperature), and should be watered thoroughly. In winter, the amount and frequency of watering must be strictly regulated, and you can choose to water once every two to three days.

How to fertilize colourful leaf grass

1. Apply sufficient base fertilizer. When planting colourful leaf grass, we usually choose to plant it in the soil mixed with 2 parts of rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of garden soil and 1 part of rice chaff ash. Many people will ignore the application of base fertilizer, and most of them are purchased directly from the potted plants on the market. The seller has already prepared the soil and applied the base fertilizer. So when you get home, you can just take care of it. But if you re-change the basin or something, you must pay attention to adding some organic fertilizer and bone powder to the basin soil as base fertilizer. In addition, an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer can be added to the basin soil to promote the bright leaf surface.

2. Fertilization method. Topdressing colourful leaf grass in time, topdressing in the process of maintenance, and applying compound fertilizer once a month during the peak growing season. In addition, fertilization can appropriately increase the proportion of phosphate fertilizer, at the same time, color grass should also avoid excessive nitrogen, otherwise the leaf surface is dim. After each heart is removed, cake fertilizer or human feces and urine should be applied once. After autumn, the temperature is suitable, the growth is accelerated, light fertilizer should be applied frequently, and 0.1% urea can be added for foliar spraying if necessary. Rarefied liquid fertilizer can be applied 3 times in the whole year.

3. Avoid too much and less. Colourful leaf grass likes fertilizer, but it can not be fertilized too much, if watering and fertilizing too much, it is easy to cause overgrowth of plants, slender leaves, long branches, long internodes and sparse leaves, which greatly reduces the ornamental value.

The most common method of color leaf grass is cutting propagation, and its method is also very simple, first choose an appropriate time, and then propagate. If you want colourful leaf grass to grow well, of course, fertilizer and water are indispensable. Timely watering and fertilization can make it grow better.
