Learn these techniques to turn asparagus into a big tree from a seed.

Asparagus is a relatively elegant foliage plant, planted in the basin, put indoors, can add a lot of color to the home environment. However, to conserve asparagus, if flower friends want to challenge themselves, they can start breeding with seeds and turn an asparagus seed into a big tree. Pride is not ordinary.

First of all, the seeds of asparagus mature in winter or early spring, and after the seeds are harvested, the peel and pulp are scrubbed off, and the seeds can be sown directly. It can also be washed and dried and stored. Large quantities of sowing can be carried out in a bed in a greenhouse or plastic shed, and a small amount can be sown with humus soil in a shallow basin or wooden box. After sowing, the seeds are covered with fine sand of about 0.5 cm, then watered with a sprinkler, covered with glass and placed in the sun. Keep the soil moist, do not get too wet and sow seeds in airtight plastic bowls.

Asparagus seeds germinate slowly, if the temperature is too low, it takes 2 months to sprout, generally about 40 days to emerge, seedlings can be transplanted in autumn or spring, the transplanting environment should be shaded and ventilated, and the soil should be dry and wet moderately. Otherwise, the leaves will turn yellow and even die. In addition, after asparagus has been sown successfully, it is necessary to learn the following management techniques.

1. Summer management

The key to the maintenance and management of asparagus in summer is watering, balanced watering during the growing period, always keeping the basin soil moderately moist, not too wet, let alone drought, otherwise it will cause yellow leaves. Asparagus prefers fertilizer, and thin fertilizer is applied 1-2 times a month during the growing period. Stop topdressing after flowering, properly control the water, and don't let Rain Water get drenched.

Asparagus grows best under semi-overcast conditions and should be maintained in a place where there is no direct sunlight in summer. Scale insects and aphids are easy to occur in summer, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC.

2. Autumn management

Light can be given appropriately in this season to make the leaves of asparagus green. Most of the old plants cultivated for many years have dense branches and leaves, the plant type is high and scattered, and the leaves are dim and yellow. in order to control the plant height and promote the growth, all the branches can be cut off from the rhizome during the growth period to promote the re-germination of new branches and leaves from the rhizosphere. The new branches will grow vigorously. To continue to apply fertilizer, but also to properly shade, to prevent Botrytis cinerea, leaf blight damage to leaves, can be sprayed with 1000 times the solution of 50% Topurazine wettable powder.

3. Winter management

After entering winter, watering should be reduced, fertilization should be stopped, and the temperature should be kept above 5 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 3 ℃, the whole plant will die from cold injury. Be careful not to let the basin soil dry or waterlogged, both of which will cause leaves to turn yellow. In severe cases, root rot will occur. Try to see as much sunshine as possible.
