Culture methods and matters needing attention of reticulate grass

The posture of reticulate grass is light, the plant is small and exquisite, and it is a small potted plant among foliage plants. Because the leaf vein is clear, the leaf color is light and elegant, and the texture is symmetrical, it is very popular in Europe and America. The following is to introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of reticulate grass.

I. Culture methods

1. Light and temperature

Reticulate grass prefers semi-shady growth environment to direct sunlight. In summer, it is necessary to shade the reticulate grass to cover most of the sun. In winter, you can move the reticulate grass to a place where you can come into contact with the sun for maintenance.

The suitable temperature for the growth of reticulate grass is between 18 ℃ and 24 ℃, and it is not hardy. The best temperature for overwintering in winter is above 10 ℃, not lower than 8 ℃.

two。 Soil

When planting reticulate grass, you can choose soil rich in humus, which requires strong air permeability and water retention capacity, and peat soil can also be used.

3. Watering and fertilizing

Watering reticulate grass needs to master certain skills, because the root system of reticulated grass is relatively shallow, so whether there is more water or less water, the influence is not good. Basically to keep the basin soil slightly moist, not too dry or too wet, too dry will make the leaves lack of water, too wet will make the roots of grass rot.

Reticulate grass has a high need for fertilizer, but fertilization should follow the rule of applying fertilizer thinly. In the period of vigorous growth of reticulate grass, you can apply fertilizer to it every half a month. In order to make the leaves green, you can spray some manganese sulfate solution to the leaves.

4. Reproduction method

The propagation of Rhizoma reticulata is usually by means of ramet propagation, cutting propagation and tissue culture.

II. Points for attention

1. Diseases and insect pests

Patellar diseases and insect pests often occur in the growth process of reticulate grass, but there are also diseases such as leaf rot and root rot, as well as shell insects, snails and red spiders.

two。 Pick the heart

In the growing period of reticulate grass, in order to promote its multi-branching and control the height of the plant, it is necessary to pick the heart frequently, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of reticulated grass.
