The latest culture methods and matters needing attention of goose palm wood

Goose palm wood, also known as duck palm wood, goose palm wood, etc., is an evergreen shrub plant of the family Acanthopanax, with high ornamental value. Large potted plants are suitable for display in the hotel lobby, library reading room and museum exhibition hall, showing a natural and harmonious green environment. Spring, summer and autumn can also be placed in shaded places in the courtyard and on the balcony of the building to watch. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and points for attention of goose palm wood.

The growth habit of goose palm wood

Goose palm wood is a common plant in tropical and subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest. It likes warm, humid and semi-sunny environment. It is suitable to grow in deep and fertile acid soil. It is slightly resistant to barren and the optimum temperature for growth is 16-27 ℃. Like wet and afraid of dry, in the case of high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture, stems and leaves grow luxuriantly, but too much water, resulting in waterlogging, will cause rotten roots. It can adapt to light in a wide range, and can grow in full sunshine, half-day or semi-shade environment, but the intensity of light is related to the color of leaves. The soil should be rich, loose and well-drained sandy loam, and potted soil should be a mixture of peat soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand.

The breeding method of goose palm wood

1. Sowing: goose palm wood can be sowed with picking, or it can be accelerated by sand storage first, and the seeds can be sown in pots or ground after the seeds are exposed white. Pot sowing with rotten leaf soil or sandy soil, the depth of covering soil is about 1 / 2 times of the seed diameter. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 20: 25 ℃, keep the basin soil or seedling bed moist. Under the suitable temperature, the seedlings can emerge in about 15 to 20 days. Those who germinate and then sow after sand storage can be unearthed after one week under the suitable temperature.

2. Striping: 2-year-old branches were selected from April to June, ring peeling, 1 cm wide, 1 part of fresh wet moss or coniferous soil mixed with 1 part of pastoral soil to cover the wound, and fasten both ends with plastic film. Water it with a syringe every day on a sunny day to maintain the humidity of the substrate. After rooting, it is cut off from the place connected with the mother plant, and then it can be transplanted.

3. Soil cutting: before changing pots, re-cutting in spring or before sprouting at the beginning of spring, 1-year-old branches with a length of 10 cm to 15 cm were cut as cutting materials. Remove the lower leaves, keep the top 3-4 leaves, and cut the lower end into a bevel. A small hole was drilled in the substrate with a small stick in advance, and the cuttings were cut into a basin based on perlite. The cuttings were kept at room temperature for 1525 ℃ and rooting one and a half months after cutting.

4. Water plug: choose mineral water bottles or glasses, tall glass bottles and canned bottles, rinse clean and serve as containers. Cut the lower end of the 8 cm long cuttings into a flat mouth, leaving only 3 or 4 leaves at the top. After the container is filled with water, try to hang the cuttings in the water and do not touch the wall or bottom of the container. Remove the cuttings from the basin when the cuttings grow 1-2cm long white roots.

5. Fog insertion: use plastic film or small glass greenhouse to create a small environment with high humidity, so that goose palm wood can propagate rapidly under the condition of high temperature and high humidity. First, lay a layer of brick at the bottom of the cutting slot, and cover it with a layer of sterilized plain sand with a thickness of 30 centimeters, and select the shoots that grew 8 centimeters in that year as cuttings. The cuttings were planted in plain sandy soil and sprayed at room temperature for 1525 ℃. The leaves were sprayed once a day. After rooting, the cuttings could be transplanted.

The culture method of goose palm wood

1. Soil: the cultivation soil of goose palm wood should be sandy loam with rich, loose and good drainage, and the potted soil should be mixed with peat soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand. Generally, rotten leaf soil or peat soil and garden soil can be mixed with about 1x4 river sand or perlite, and a small amount of cake fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer to make it fertile.

2. Planting: strong seedlings with developed and complete roots are selected and planted in the basin before germination in late autumn or spring. before planting, the tile is padded in the water seepage hole at the bottom of the container, and part of the nutritious soil is filled in the container, and then the soil is filled to make the root connect closely with the soil. the soil surface is flat with the edge of the pot. after pouring water and settling, the soil surface is about 5 cm away from the edge of the basin as a watering gate. The new plants should be placed in the semi-shade for a week, and then gradually transferred to a sunny place for normal management.

3. Watering: goose palm wood grows well in the environment of high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture, pay attention to the basin soil can not be short of water, otherwise it will cause a large number of leaves to fall off. The water should be properly controlled under the condition of low temperature in winter. If you use plastic containers, you should pay attention to drainage. To keep the soil moist, water should be watered in time before it is dry. when the weather is dry, it should also be sprayed to the plant to prevent stagnant water in the basin during the plum rain.

4. Sunshine: goose palm wood likes semi-shade and should be kept under bright scattered light. When the light is suitable, the leaf color is green and bright, which can be appreciated for a long time. In winter, it can be transferred to the south window to cultivate, so that it can receive more sunlight and the leaves will be bright. It is best to move the flowerpot to outdoor ventilation and proper light conditions for a period of time every spring and autumn, but the sun exposure must be avoided during outdoor maintenance, otherwise the leaves are easy to wither and yellow and reduce the ornamental value.

5. Temperature: the optimum temperature for the growth of Goose palm wood is 16-27 ℃. It is 21: 27 ℃ from March to September and 16: 21 ℃ from September to March of the following year. It can still grow normally under the condition of high temperature above 30 ℃. The winter temperature is not lower than 5 ℃. If the temperature is below 0 ℃, the plant will be frozen and the leaves will fall, but if the stem is intact, new leaves will sprout again in the following spring.

6. Fertilization: goose palm wood is the peak growing season from March to September, and some compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer and water are applied every 2 to 3 weeks. The flower and leaf varieties should not be fertilized too much (especially nitrogen fertilizer), otherwise the leaves will turn green and lose the characteristics of the original varieties. Variegated leaf varieties should apply less nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the color of patches from becoming lighter or disappear.

7. Pruning: goose palm wood is easy to germinate and grow branches, so it is necessary to pay attention to shaping and pruning adult plants in order to keep the plant shape neat and beautiful. Perennial old branches, when the plant shape is too large, it can be re-cut in combination with changing pots before the new buds germinate every year, cutting off the upper branches and leaves and part of the old roots.
