Culture methods and matters needing attention when will the measuring ruler blossom

The breeding experience of Tianchi should be a relatively large variety of cactus plants that have been mastered and accumulated by people, because it is after all the mother of dragon fruit, and dragon fruit has been widely planted all over the world. so what is the difference between the cultivation of succulent plants and the cultivation of dragon fruit spiders?

Culture methods and matters needing attention of measuring ruler

1. Light and temperature

The measuring ruler is native to the tropics, likes a warm environment and requires plenty of light. The suitable temperature for the growth of the measuring ruler is between 25 and 35 ℃, and the overwintering temperature should be above 13 ℃, at least not lower than 10 ℃, otherwise it is easy to freeze and cause the stem nodes of the measuring ruler to rot.

Summer light is strong, to measure the ruler in the semi-overcast environment to maintain, appropriate shade. Winter requires sufficient light, you can put it in a sunny place indoors and get in touch with the sun.

2. Soil

He likes loose, fertile, humus-rich soil. Pot soil can be made of rotten leaf soil and coarse sand mixed with a small amount of rotten chicken manure or cow manure. The soil is required to be loose, permeable and well drained.

3. Water and fertilizer management

The requirement of measuring scale for water and fertilizer is not high, and it is required to be thoroughly watered in spring and autumn, watering once a month, but spraying water to the plant every day to increase air humidity. Evaporation is large in summer, so water should be replenished in time and watered once a day, but to avoid stagnant water on rainy days. In winter, the basin soil should be kept moderately dry, reducing the amount of water, but keeping a high air humidity.

The demand for fertilizer is not too high. Rotten liquid fertilizer is applied every 15 to 20 days during the growth period, and fertilizer should be stopped in winter. Pay attention to the use of fertilizer should not be too thick, so as not to cause fertilizer damage and lead to rotting roots.

4. Mode of reproduction

Most of them are propagated by cuttings.

5. Diseases and insect pests

The common diseases and insect pests are Fusarium wilt, anthrax and scab. Attention should be paid to the growth of the measure, timely detection of diseases and insect pests, and treatment.

6. Change the basin

With the growth of the plant, the pot can be changed once a year or two, because the root system of the meter is underdeveloped, so when changing the pot, you can choose a flowerpot with the right proportion of the plant, and take it out to dry for half a month and then put it on the pot.

When will the measuring ruler bloom?

It takes a period of maintenance to blossom, but it is difficult for potted plants to blossom, and it can only blossom when the plant height is 3Mel and 4m.

The measuring ruler will bloom on summer nights, from May to September, with periods 7 to 8 open at intervals of about 20 days. When it blossoms, it will open large yellowish flowers, which are gorgeous and lovely, with a quiet and pleasant fragrance, known as the "queen of the moon".

The reproduction of the ruler.

1. Choose to insert Christine.

Choose more than one-year-old meat stem, cut the top of the meat stem 5 cm to 6 cm or longer to use as cuttings. Or cut the measuring ruler into sections, and the cuttings should be 20 cm to 25 cm in length. Another choice is to cut the small branches from the measuring branches, and be careful that the branches are not too young.

2. Cutting soil

The cuttings should be mixed with vermiculite, pearl powder and pure river sand without soil. Can be single-plant cutting, but also can be multi-plant centralized cutting. Attention should be paid to the density between plants when concentrated cuttage.

3. Cuttage

The cut cuttings should be dried in a cool place for a week, and then cut after the cut is fully dried, so that it is easy to take root. Due to the slurry will flow out when cutting the cuttings, it can be sealed with plant ash and let cool for 7 to 10 days. Then insert it into the sand bed or soil, insert it obliquely into the soil, and let it take root. In the rooting period, it should be watered as little as possible, do not dry, do not water, stay for 30 to 40 days, you can take root. When the root of the equivalent foot is 3 to 4 cm long, it can be transplanted to a small pot or directly planted in the open field.

Can I measure the ruler at home?

Measuring ruler is more suitable for breeding indoors, because it can absorb formaldehyde, ether, radon, ammonia, TVOC and other harmful substances to purify indoor air, is a natural air filter.

As an ornamental succulent plant, Tianyi has its own ornamental value, and its daily maintenance is simple and extensive. It is a kind of lazy plant. Compared with plants that are difficult to raise and easy to die, it is more simple to maintain and is very suitable for domestic maintenance.

The ruler also has edible and medicinal value, and the domestic ruler can also be used as food and medicine. Although it takes more time to achieve its use as medicine and food, it will be more convenient to use local materials when it blossoms and bears fruit.

Although it is true that Tianyi and Huolongguo belong to the same species, the focus of cultivation as an ornamental plant should be different from that of pitaya, which is specially used for food, so we need to treat them differently. In addition, the flowers of Tianyi are very beautiful, so we must not miss them.
