Views on whether Bauhinia can be potted or not

Bauhinia, also known as purple pearl, full red flowering is spring, characterized by flowering on the old branches, composed of large rose florets, blooming season exudes sweet fragrance.

China has a long history of planting Bauhinia. In ancient times, bauhinia was often used to compare kinship, symbolizing brotherhood and prosperity. Lu Ji, a scholar of the Jin Dynasty, had a poem: "Three Jing Huan with the same plant, four birds sad different forest."

For a long time, Bauhinia is mostly planted as a ground flower, planted in a corner of the courtyard, and now it is often used to beautify green flower beds and roadside.

Due to the change of living environment, some people are trying to plant bauhinia.

Baihua Zatan believes that it should be feasible. Bauhinia has strong vitality, easy cultivation, lax soil requirements and extensive management. As long as the plants are planted in deep fertile sandy loam and have sufficient light, they can grow normally, sprout and bloom.

Potted bauhinia pots, should choose a little deeper ceramic pots or pots for good. Cultivated soil with soil: preferably rich in organic matter, good drainage sandy soil loam, or general pastoral soil.

Potted bauhinia on the pot time: the best arrangement in the autumn after defoliation or before spring germination. In order to improve the survival rate of potted bauhinia, it is best to operate in two steps. In the first year, the strong seedlings of the mother plant tillering are separated from the mother plant, and the single plant is stopped on the ground; in the second year, the independent Bauhinia plant is transplanted with soil balls, so as to protect the fibrous roots and ensure survival. and pruning the branches of the plant. When planting, the root system should be extended, and it should not be bent in the pot soil. After planting, water frequently, keep the pot soil moist, place it under the shade for a period of time, and then move it to a sunny and ventilated place for normal management when it grows vigorously.

Bauhinia is more cold-resistant, more than three years old adult plants are not kept warm. Bauhinia drought-resistant, afraid of waterlogging, potted bauhinia in the rainy season to do a good job of drainage to prevent water rotten roots. Autumn is not suitable for watering. Can be in every winter after defoliation and spring before germination fertilization, with human feces or sesame paste residue is better. Winter is the dormancy period of Bauhinia, during which potted Bauhinia can be trimmed. When pruning, we should cut back the annual branches again, so that the nutrients are concentrated and the branches are strong. We should cut off the long branches, dry branches, drooping branches, diseased branches, slender branches and endogenous branches. Bauhinia around the base, easy to sprout a lot of small buds, should be timely cut off the lateral branches of the lower part of the trunk, so that the upper part of the trunk can get sufficient nutrients to form a good crown.
