The latest breeding method of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris is a perennial herb of the genus Dryopteris of the family Pteridaceae, which is often born on limestone or on the bottom of limestone caves and dripping cliffs beside Liushuixi. It is suitable for perennial potted plants indoors. Small potted plants can be placed on the desk or tea table. Larger potted plants can be used to decorate the windowsill, aisle or living room of the shaded room. The main methods of reproduction are ramet reproduction and spore reproduction. Let's take a look!

Culture conditions of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris prefers loose, permeable and fertile calcareous sandy loam. When potted, the cultivated soil can be mixed with loam, rotten leaf soil and river sand. The suitable temperature for growth is 21-25 ℃ during the day and 12-15 ℃ at night. The leaves can still keep fresh green when the temperature is above 5 ℃, but when the temperature is below 5 ℃, the leaves will appear freezing injury, like bright scattered light, and fear direct sunlight.

Ramet propagation of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris can be propagated in four seasons indoors, but generally in early spring, the mother plant is taken out of the basin, its rhizome is cut off, so that each piece has part of the rhizome and leaves, and then planted in a small basin, the rhizome is covered with mixed soil, and then irrigated and cultured in a wet environment, a new plant can be obtained.

Spore propagation of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris can also be propagated by spores, disinfecting peat and fine sand as substrates in the oven at high temperature to kill germs and weed seeds, then putting the sterilized soil into a shallow sowing basin, cutting leaves with mature spores, concentrating spores and evenly sowing them in the shallow sowing pot without covering the soil, covered with glass sheets, soaking water from the bottom of the basin, keeping the soil moist, and placing it in a semi-shady environment of 20-25 ℃. The spores can germinate into prothalli in about a month, and can be planted after the basin is full.
