What is the culture method of rubber tree? What are the precautions?

Rubber tree is what we usually call rubber tree, many people have breeding at home, it is not only beautiful, but also can be used to extract latex, its industrial value is higher. So, what is the breeding method of rubber trees? What are the precautions?

First, what is the breeding method of rubber trees?

1. Basin soil selection

It can be cultivated in clay flowerpots, plastic pots, porcelain pots, pottery pots and so on. It is not too strict on the soil, loose and fertile have a certain ability to retain water and fertilizer on the line, you can use rotten leaf soil, garden soil according to the proportion of 1:2 to mix evenly.

two。 Temperature control

Rubber tree is a kind of tree that likes to grow in high temperature, especially in summer and autumn, because the temperature is the most suitable at this time. They stop growing when they are below five degrees Celsius in winter.

3. Lighting requirement

Its growth needs sufficient light, but it is also shade-resistant, so indoor maintenance should be placed near a window with good light and air circulation, and not less than four hours of light a day. If conditions permit, you can maintain all-day sunshine, such as fluorescent lamps instead of sunlight.

4. Watering cycle

Although it likes wetting, it is not resistant to waterlogging and dryness. Therefore, the watering frequency should be determined according to the season and the wetness of the basin soil. In summer, oak needs to be watered every day, while increasing the frequency of watering to keep the basin soil moist. In winter, the basin soil should be moist and dry for watering, but if the temperature is about 10 ℃, the basin soil should remain moist, dry and easy to lose leaves.

5. Fertilization management

In the growing season, 10-fold rotten liquid fertilizer mixed with 500-fold potassium dihydrogen phosphate was applied once every 20 days, or 1000-fold Huaduoduoduo general fertilizer twice. In order to control the height of the formed plant, the mixed liquid fertilizer can be applied once every two months in the growing season. Rubber trees like fertilizer, but avoid nitrogen fertilizer, when there is too much nitrogen fertilizer, the stem node is only long, the leaf spacing is enlarged, and the plant shape is not beautiful.

6. Pruning and shaping

Potted rubber trees also need to be pruned, the main purpose is for the whole plant with good light transmittance and beautiful shape.

Second, what are the points for attention in culturing rubber trees?

1.20-30 ℃ is the suitable temperature for its growth, and if it is lower than 3 ℃, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off, so it should be placed in the sunny place in the lower temperature season, and the room temperature should be kept above 10 ℃. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃, the plant should be moved to a cool and ventilated place and water should be sprayed to cool down.

two。 In the seedling stage, it is necessary to change the direction of the pot regularly, so as to avoid one side of the plant growth.

3. Because its plant contains milk, it is necessary to block the incision with cement immediately after each pruning, so as not to cause water loss and death due to excessive juice flow.

The breeding method of rubber tree is not difficult, it is often potted in the greenhouse or watched indoors, but also can be planted into the garden to decorate the environment.
