How to plant seeds of Chimonanthus fortunei

The money tree symbolizes the wealth, splendor and wealth, many business people will plant money trees at home, and the ornamental value of the money tree is relatively high. So how to plant the seeds of the money tree?

I. temperature

The suitable temperature for growth is 20-32 ℃, whether potted or planted in the ground, the average annual temperature change is small, and productive cultivation should be carried out in a greenhouse with controllable temperature. Every summer, when the temperature is more than 35 ℃, the growth of the plant is poor. Measures such as covering the black net to shade the light and spraying water to the surrounding environment should be taken to reduce the temperature so as to create a suitable environment with suitable space temperature and dryness. It is best to maintain the greenhouse temperature above 10 ℃ in winter. If the room temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it is easy to cause cold damage and seriously endanger the survival of the plant. In late autumn and early winter, when the temperature drops below 8 ℃, it should be transferred to the room with plenty of light, and the temperature should be kept between 8 ℃-10 ℃ during the whole overwintering period, which is more safe and reliable.

Second, lighting

The money tree likes light and has strong shade tolerance, so it should create a sunny but shaded environment to a certain extent. It avoids strong light, especially should avoid the hot sun exposure after long rain and early sunshine in late spring and early summer and 5-6 hours of unsheltered strong light baking before and after noon in summer, otherwise it will easily lead to burns of newly drawn young leaves. In productive cultivation, it should be placed under a shade of 50-70% shade from the end of spring to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it should not be too dark, otherwise it will lead to slender leaves, yellowing leaves and sparse leaflet spacing, thus affecting the compactness and beauty of the plant. Supplementary light should be given to potted plants transferred to the greenhouse in winter. If the water in the basin soil is kept dry, the plant can be kept disease-free for a long time. In addition, the newly extracted pinnate compound leaves do not show obvious phototaxis, and the plant type is good.

Third, moisture

Because of the special climatic conditions of the original place of origin, it has formed a strong drought resistance, so the basic requirement for the cultivation substrate is good permeability. The basic requirement of cultivation substrate is good permeability. The cultivation medium is mainly mixed with peat, coarse sand or washed cinder and a small amount of garden soil, and its PH value is adjusted to 6-6.5, showing a slightly acidic state. Because of its large tuber, developed root system and long pinnate compound leaves, its growth should be observed in time during the growing season to decide whether to change the basin or not. Always maintain the good permeability of the cultivation substrate, in order to create a good root environment with good air permeability and water filtration. Check frequently during the rainy season, and when it is found that there is stagnant water in the basin, turn the basin and change the soil in time.

IV. Fertilization

In addition to adding appropriate amount of retted cake fertilizer or multi-component slow-release compound fertilizer to the cultivation substrate, the mixed solution of 02.0% urea and 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be applied 2-3 times a month during the growing season, or balanced fertilizer 20-10-20 (20-20-20) with a concentration of 200-250ppm combined with calcium nitrate. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order to enable it to survive the winter safely, nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped and 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution should be applied continuously for 2-3 times to promote the hardening and enrichment of its young leaf axis and newly drawn leaves. When the temperature drops below 15 ℃, all forms of topdressing should be stopped so as not to damage the roots under the condition of low temperature.

The planting of money tree is relatively simple, and it is a very rare foliage plant with underground tubers, which has high ornamental and planting value.
