The breeding method of wooden Kylin

Wood Kirin leaves thick, yellow green with red, the back is purple-red green, and cactus plants have a strong affinity, generally as a multi-species community plants, there is a certain ornamental value, then what are the breeding methods of wood Kirin?

I. Breeding methods

There are two main methods of planting and cutting:

1. Sowing: its seed skin is hard, seed soaking should be given 24 hours before sowing, germination temperature is 22℃ to 24℃, germination 15 days to 20 days after sowing, seedling growth speed is faster.

2. Cuttings: because of its strong sex, so cutting survival rate is high, propagation time in spring or early summer, after cutting to maintain a higher temperature. Can be in May to July, cut 2 years old mature branches, cut into 15 cm to 20 cm ear section, cuttage in the sand bed, buried depth 1/3 to 1/2, keep wet, about 20 days can take root.

II. Management of Wood Kirin

1. Soil: Wood Kirin is generally potted in spring, soil requirements fertile, loose, good drainage, weak acid. The soil for potted wood unicorn can be cultivated by mixing 1 part of decaying leaf soil, 1 part of garden soil and 1 part of coarse sand, and adding a small amount of bone powder and plant ash. Newly planted and repotted plants should be maintained in shade.

2. Light: Wood Kirin maintenance is very critical, especially in summer, to appropriate shade, in scattered light under good growth. Winter should be placed indoors in the sun, there is sufficient light.

3. Temperature: Spring to autumn is the growth period, the suitable temperature for the growth of wood unicorn should be 24-29℃ during the day and 18-21℃ at night. Winter daytime temperature should be kept at 18 ℃, night temperature is kept at about 10℃, can avoid leaves off the pedicle. If it is below 5 ° C, the leaves will shed and go dormant. However, the overwintering temperature of cactus grafted with leaf cactus as rootstock should be above 10℃.

4. Watering: master the watering basin soil "see dry see wet, watering is watered through" principle. The soil in the basin should not be too dry or too wet. In winter, water should be reduced, the pot soil should be kept dry, and the wood unicorn plants should not shrink.

5. Fertilization: every spring can be applied some decomposed cake fertilizer and bone meal. During the growth period, apply 2-3 times of decomposed thin pancake liquid fertilizer every month.

Wood Kirin is a very good ornamental plants, and other plants symbiotic beauty has characteristics, very good, if the home planted cactus plants, do not put also planted some wood Kirin.
