So how does the Silver Queen cut?

The Cuttage Propagation method of Silver Queen

After the adult plant is cultured for a period of time, the lower leaves will gradually wither, causing the stem to be bare and look ugly. At this time, you can choose to propagate and renew the plant. Cut off the top branches for cutting, leaving the base to sprout new buds.

Cuttings are usually carried out in late spring and early summer. The stem of the plant is cut and cut into small segments, each with 2 stem nodes, which are planted in the sterilized soil. Pay attention to the bud head up, or vertical insertion, must not be inserted down, otherwise it is difficult to survive.

After cutting, properly shade, ensure moisture, can be covered with plastic film, sunny noon can untie the film appropriate spray and re-cover. The fungicides are sprayed once every 10 days (0.1% carbendazim, topiramate or acetaminophen diluent). It usually takes 20 to 25 days to take root, and when the roots grow to 2cm, they can be planted in pots.

The planting method of the Silver Queen

1. The best growing soil

Most of the silver queens are potted plants, and if you want to raise them well, you can choose good soil. Potted plants usually use loose peat soil, peat soil, or mixed with rotten leaf soil and sandy loam, and diluted with a small amount of ferrous sulfate to acidify the soil.

2. requirements for regulation and control of water and fertilizer

Spring and Autumn is the peak growing season of the Silver Queen, watering should be adequate, the basin soil should always be kept moist, and the water temperature should not be too low as the room temperature. Often spray branches and leaves with clear water to prevent leaf tips from drying up, but try not to accumulate water.

During the growth period, thin liquid fertilizer is applied every half a month, and watering and fertilization are combined to ensure that the fertilizer is suitable. In winter, the Silver Queen grows slowly, watering less, and stops fertilizing.

3. The best growth temperature

The silver queen grew fastest at 20 ℃ and 24 ℃, stopped growing at more than 30 ℃, and the leaves were easy to turn yellow and dry tip. So summer maintenance, pay attention to heat prevention and cooling, often ventilation and cooling, or sprinkle water to the ground. Don't put the Silver Queen near the window in winter, lest the temperature is too low and affect the growth. The winter temperature should be controlled between 10 ℃ and not less than 5 ℃.

4. The best growth light

Outdoor cultivation in summer should pay attention to shading, so as not to make the light too strong, otherwise sunburn is very easy to occur. Pay attention to daylighting when overwintering in the shed in winter to prevent the lack of light and the color of the leaves.

Growth characteristics of Silver Queen

The Queen of Silver prefers a warm and humid climate and is not resistant to cold. The suitable growth temperature is 16-21 ℃. Therefore, heat prevention and cooling should be paid attention to ventilation in summer, and cultivation should be carried out in the greenhouse in winter, and the overwintering temperature should be 10 ℃, not lower than 5 ℃. The silver queen needs sufficient water during the growing period, spraying water to the leaves in the morning and evening in midsummer and putting it in a semi-shady place. The growth of stems and leaves slows down in winter, moisture should be controlled, and the basin soil is slightly dry. Acid nitrogen fertilizer can be applied less in late spring and early summer, spin nitrogen fertilizer can be increased in summer, compound fertilizer can be applied in early autumn and mid-autumn, and stop in late autumn and early winter. There are plenty of fertilizer, the stem is stout, there are many tillers, and the leaves are hypertrophic.

Matters needing attention in the maintenance of the Silver Queen

Don't accumulate water in the silver queen basin (watering too often), it is easy to cause root rot, it is best to see the basin soil dry before watering. If the basin soil is deeper, the watering frequency should be reduced, and more watering or spraying can be appropriate in summer to ensure humidity. There is a saying called "whether to live in water", which shows the importance of watering.

The queen of silver can't stand the sun. The Silver Queen is mainly ornamental leaves, for a long time in the hot sun, especially at noon in summer, the leaves were burned, affecting the ornamental value, but also lost the significance of maintaining it.
