The latest culture method of Dishui Guanyin

Dishui Guanyin, also known as Dishui lotus, bergamot lotus, it has a beautiful connotation, the page is large but not public, implicit and low-key. Because it blossoms like Guanyin and drips down from the tip of the leaf when there is plenty of water, it has the reputation of dripping Guanyin, which is often used to decorate the interior. Although it has a good name and inner self-cultivation, we do not know much about the breeding methods of Dishui Guanyin. Here, the editor will introduce some methods of Dishui Guanyin culture to you.

The breeding method of Dishui Guanyin

The main propagation methods of Dishui Guanyin are ramet, sowing and cutting propagation, which are introduced in detail as follows.

1. Ramet sowing

Every summer and autumn, Amorphophallus tubers will sprout small sea taro with leaves, which can be combined with turning the basin and changing the soil for ramet. When the fruit is ripe in autumn, the orange seeds are harvested, sown with picking, or dried and stored, and sown after the following spring.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is for perennial old plants, can be combined with plant renewal, from the base of the plant about 5 cm from the unearthed surface truncated, stem cutting propagation. Cutting dry in the cuttage propagation of dripping Guanyin has the following advantages:

① plants lose the advantage of apical growth, which makes the base of nutrients accumulate and promote a large number of roots and stem bases to sprout, which is conducive to the rate and quantity of reproduction.

The old stem intercepted by ② can be cut into branches about 15 cm in length and placed in shade for half a day and then inserted into sandy loam soil for cultivation. Especially in the growing section at the top, all the molded leaves are cut off and put on the pot directly, and the cutting and cultivation are carried out at the same time. After two months of cultivation, it becomes a potted plant with strong leaves, compact branches, and strong and sturdy shape, which is quite elegant in the room. Amorphophallus cuttings are suitable for cutting in spring, summer and autumn. During the cutting period, the moisture of the substrate (6 parts of sand and 4 parts of ∶ garden soil) should be maintained, and the air humidity should be increased, so that many sturdy roots can grow in about 10 days. During the period of old plant cultivation, due to the shady and humid environment or spraying water on the leaf surface every morning and evening in summer and autumn, a few new plants occasionally sprouted on the old stem (especially on the stem base left after truncation treatment), and attached to many air roots. it can be planted in a pot from the junction between the daughter plant and the mother plant.

The soil cultivation method of Dishui Guanyin

1. Timely planting: transplant the seedlings into a flowerpot from April to May, pour enough water and place the flowerpot in the shade for about a week. Light liquid fertilizer was applied once after 2-3 days. Amorphophallus cultivation is relatively extensive, potted with rotten leaf soil, peat soil or fine sandy soil. When the soil is loose, fertile and the base fertilizer is sufficient, the leaves are hypertrophic and emerald-green.

2. Fertilizer and water management: in the growing season from April to October, liquid fertilizer must be applied once a week, especially the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be increased. Only in this way can the leaves grow bigger. When lack of fertilizer, the leaves are small and yellow. Amorphophallus prefers warm, humid and semi-overcast environment. It needs more watering from April to November and grows rapidly above 25 ℃. The dry environment is very unfavorable to its growth. In cultivation, more water should be sprayed around it to increase air humidity. In the growing season of sea taro, it is better to be wet than dry, while during the dormant period in winter, watering should be controlled as far as possible and can survive the winter safely when moved indoors.

3. Sunshine: shade is needed from June to October to cover 50-70% of the sun. Moist, semi-shaded and sufficient fertilizer, the leaves can grow the original characteristics, large and stretched, the plant spectacular tall and straight. Although sea taro likes to grow in a semi-shady environment, it has been placed in living rooms and bedrooms for a long time. Due to lack of light, it has a great impact on plant life activities. The formation of many plant organs is directly related to light intensity. Lack of light or no light, plant internodes are particularly long, leaves are underdeveloped and small, lack of chlorophyll and show yellow.

4. Change the basin: after Ching Ming Festival in the second year, the sea taro was moved outdoors to accept the sun, carry out photosynthesis and quickly restore growth. Change the basin after 2 weeks. Wet the pot soil, remove the root soil, cut off the diseased root and rotten root, then put it on the basin, cover it with new soil mixed with base fertilizer, pour through the fixed root water and put it in a cool place for about 1 week, and pour light fertilizer water once after 2-3 days.

Now that we have learned about the soil culture method of Dishui Guanyin culture, let's take a look at the Dishui Guanyin aquaculture method and matters needing attention.
