How to trim potted apricot pines? Attach breeding methods and matters needing attention!

Luohan pine, also known as Luohan fir, Taxodium chinense, is a kind of pine tree, is a national second-class protected plant, the leaf shape is lanceolate, often as a greening tree to play its ecological role. Like fertile sandy and moist soil, not resistant to cold but long life, often as a potted ornamental. So how do you trim the potted lohan pine? Attach breeding methods and matters needing attention!

First, how to prune potted lohansong

1. Abide by the purpose of styling

The purpose of Luo Hansong's artistic modeling is "tree modeling", "art in accordance with their aptitude", the use of superb artistic expression to dig out the highest artistic realm from the ordinary tree shape, and maximize the ornamental value.

two。 Modeling technique

The commonly used techniques are cutting, binding, pressing, binding, hanging and so on. The pruning and modeling is relatively simple, and the modeling techniques such as binding, pressing, binding and hanging are more difficult, and the stylist's artistic imagination, operation skills and the stem and branch condition of the tree are required.

In the modeling process, the artistic processing must be carried out according to the natural beauty of the seedlings, that is, it must be based on the tree system, beauty and beauty, so that the shape is just strong and hierarchical.

3. Concrete operation

Scissors: you can make use of the characteristics of resistance to pruning and small leaf shape to make various shapes, such as spherical, conical, multi-layered spherical, etc., only need to be trimmed according to the pre-designed graphics.

For example, when trimming the three-layer sphere, first choose a tree seedling with obvious trunk and better upright shape. The above three balls are getting bigger and bigger, in order to coordinate the proportion to have a better ornamental, generally, the new branch should be pruned when the tip is 20cm to 30cm, which needs to be trimmed many times to make each layer round and compact.

Binding: strong bamboo sticks and strong hemp ropes can be selected for modeling, the bamboo sticks and branches can be fastened and fastened with hemp ropes, and then one end of the bamboo stick can be fixed on the trunk, so that the branches can grow in a specific direction according to the wishes of the stylist, so as to achieve the purpose of modeling.

Pressure: pressure modeling is mainly through the trunk bending, tilting the method, so that the tree on the slope presents a completely different from the vertical level of artistic beauty.

Because the branches of Luo Hansong are like human arms, and the clusters of hemispherical leaves grow on the top of the branches like the palms of human hands, coupled with bent trees, it is as if a usher is bending his arms to welcome the guests, which is very vivid.

2. Culture methods of potted Pinus elliottii

1. Soil selection

Use humic acid soil when potting, do not use alkaline soil. Luohansong likes loose, fertile and slightly acidic soil with good drainage, and is not resistant to salinity and barren.

two。 Water and fertilizer management

Watering: Luohansong is more resistant to drought, so watering in the growing season should grasp the principle of dry rather than wet, and keep the basin soil wet. If too much watering, basin soil long-term water stains, will lead to rotten roots, yellow leaves, serious leaves fall off a large number, the plant will die. Water evaporates quickly in summer high temperature season, watering should be sufficient, if the pot soil is too easy to scorch the leaves, it will also affect the ornamental.

Fertilization: potted lohan pine also needs to be supplemented with nutrients. Luohansong does not like thick fertilizer, the growing season can use mature organic liquid fertilizer, the concentration is 1:6, 1:8, 1:10, once every ten days and a half month, the next day after fertilization should be irrigated, which is conducive to root absorption.

3. Temperature and light

Temperature: Luohan pine likes to be warm and has weak cold resistance. When the winter temperature drops to 13 ℃, it goes into dormancy, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃.

Lighting: Luohansong, can withstand shade, but the growing season should not be stuffy indoors for a long time. Because the indoor light and air humidity are not as good as outdoor, the growth and development of Luohansong also needs sunshine and rain.

4. Mode of reproduction

Sowing and reproduction: can be carried out in August. It is generally carried out in the open field seedbed. Broadcast on demand. Cover straw, pay attention to shading, and keep the substrate moist. Anti-freezing should be covered with plastic film in winter.

Cutting propagation: can be carried out in spring and autumn. Spring was planted in the middle of March, one-year-old stout dormant branches were selected as cuttings, autumn was inserted in July to August, and semi-lignified green branches were selected as cuttings. Cuttings should have heels and pay attention to shade. March transplantation is the most suitable.

Matters needing attention of potted Luohansong

1. Guard against apprentices

During the growth period, attention should be paid to pruning and coring the molded plants to prevent the branches and leaves from growing, and to maintain the graceful posture of Luohansong. When changing the basin, we should pay attention to cut off too many roots and rotten fibrous roots, and at the same time cut off the dense branches and growing branches.

two。 Prevent frostbite

When the outdoor temperature drops to 5 ℃ in winter, it should be moved indoors. After entering the room, watering should be controlled and fertilization should be stopped.

3. Prevention of insect pests

Potted Luohansong is usually placed on a high platform or stone, so that insects such as ants and earthworms can be reduced to drill into the flowerpot from the bottom hole of the flowerpot, harming the plant.
