Maintenance and pruning of rich trees

Rich trees, evergreen trees, like high temperature and humidity climate, poor cold tolerance, seedlings avoid frost, adult trees can withstand light frost and long-term 5-6C low temperature, South China can live in the open winter, the north must be moved into the greenhouse in winter, like fertile loose, permeable and water-retaining sandy soil, acid soil, avoid alkaline soil or clayey soil, more resistant to water and moisture, but also slightly resistant to drought.

The rich tree is graceful, the leaf crown is majestic, the leaf color is emerald green, put in the family living room, both elegant and generous, but also lovable.

The rich tree is a perennial evergreen shrub, native to the Malay Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands. In recent years, through cultivation and breeding, it has widely entered the urban and rural families of our country. As a family cultivation, we should pay attention to the following four points according to their living habits of high temperature, humidity, frost and dryness:

Pay attention to the sunshine

The rich tree likes high temperature, humidity and sunlight, so it can't be shaded for a long time. Therefore, it should be placed in a sunny place indoors during maintenance and management. When placed, the leaves must be facing the sun. Otherwise, because the leaves tend to light, the whole branches and leaves will be distorted. In addition, spray water to the leaves every 3 to 5 days, which is not only conducive to photosynthesis, but also make the branches and leaves more beautiful.

Pay attention to watering

Watering is an important link in the process of maintenance management. If the amount of water is small, the development of branches and leaves will stagnate; if the amount of water is too large, it may lead to the death of rotten roots; if the amount of water is moderate, the branches and leaves will be hypertrophic. The first principle of watering is rather wet than dry, followed by "two more and less", that is, more watering in summer and less in winter; large and medium-sized plants with vigorous growth should be watered more, and small plants newly planted in pots should be watered less. When the amount of watering is too large, it is easy to make the roots of the plant rotten, causing the leaves to sag, lose luster, and even fall off. At this time, it should be moved to a cool place immediately, the amount of water should be reduced to a minimum, as long as the basin soil is not dry, spray water on the leaves many times a day with a spray can, stop fertilizing water, about 15 to 20 days can gradually recover.

Pay attention to fertilization

The rich tree is fond of fertilizing flowers and trees, and the demand for fertilizer is greater than other common flowers and trees. When changing the basin every year, the proportion of fertile soil can account for 1 / 3 or even more. Fertile soil comes from a wide range of sources, which can be collected from deciduous humus soil of broad-leaved trees and mixed with a little pastoral soil and mixed bean cake dregs. This fertile soil is highly effective and easy to obtain, but attention should be paid to full maturity so as not to "burn" the leaves. In addition, during the growing period of rich trees (from May to September), mature liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer can be applied every 15 days to promote deep roots and luxuriant leaves.

Pay attention to temperature and humidity

The rich tree has higher requirements for temperature and humidity. If the temperature is low or the humidity is missing, the leaves will often fall, and when the branches are bald, it will not only hinder the ornamental, but also easily cause plant death. Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping the temperature above 15 ℃ and often spraying water to the branches and leaves to increase the necessary humidity. In late autumn and winter, we should pay attention to overwintering cold prevention, anti-freezing management and protection.

To illustrate the pruning methods and matters needing attention of the rich tree

Pruning time

The pruning of rich trees is generally carried out in spring, and the specific time is from April to May. In the first ten days of May, the weather is warm, the branches and leaves of the plant germinate and the metabolism is exuberant. Pruning at this time can sprout new branches quickly and grow healthily.

Preparation before pruning

Preparation tools: gardening scissors, specializing in cutting thick branches. Try not to use the ordinary scissors at home, not only sharpen your hands, but also cause the incision to be too large, affecting the recovery in the later stage. Gloves are also necessary. When pruning branches and leaves, it is best to wear work gloves to protect your hands from pruning stems and branches.

Plant preparation: one month before pruning, put the rich tree in its preferred environment and apply a thin liquid fertilizer based on nitrogen, so that after pruning, the rich tree has enough nutrients to germinate branches.

The pruning steps of the rich tree

Take the big fortune tree as an example. The following rich tree is quite stylish, with braided stems and luxuriant branches, but it is wearing a thick hat and its branches and leaves are a little messy.

Divide five into two, don't think too much, cut off all the branches and leaves. Keep the small buds of the branches and leaves, that is, the green part of the picture, about 10 centimeters. For too weak branches should be cut off, because its germination ability is weak, but also with other branches for nutrients, can not stay.

There is no need to daub after pruning, and the rich tree is not easy to infect. After pruning, leave it in a dim place for maintenance, which is what it looks like 22 days later, with a lot of buds and sporadic leaves emerging.

Dangdang, is it much smaller and more exquisite than the original one and a half months after pruning?

Pruning differences between big and small rich trees

Big rich tree: the pruning principle for big rich tree is to cut short, remove the overgrown branches, keep the strong branches, cut off all the branches and remove the thin and weak branches properly.

Small rich tree: the height of less than 30 cm can be counted as a small variety, this kind of rich tree is not suitable for pruning. In the process of growth, we should make it grow thicker and taller, and erase the lateral buds in time.

Maintenance and management of rich trees after pruning

Do not touch water

The rich tree should not spray water or rain after pruning, so as to avoid the decay of the cut. Put the house in bright shade or shade, and reduce watering. The amount of water is cut by half compared with the usual amount, because of the lack of transpiration of leaves, the water demand is also reduced. If too much watering leads to rotten roots, it will affect the restoration of the rich tree after pruning.

Supplement nutrients

Before the branches germinate, apply a liquid fertilizer dominated by nitrogen. And during this period, a fungicide was irrigated to prevent root rot. After a month, the branches grow into leaflets and gradually elongate, which can be maintained normally.

Pruning and styling of the rich tree

Single erect type

This is a more common plant, only a bare erect stem, the tip of the leaves aggregate into an umbrella-shaped, can be large or small.

Braided type

The artistic modeling with strong appreciation needs to be modeled with the help of iron wire. The method of pruning is the same as that of ordinary wealth trees.

Short and stout type

Small rich trees pay attention to wiping buds and promoting sturdy stem nodes in the process of pruning.

Multicluster type

More than one rich tree in a flowerpot, larger potted plants, usually placed in the office, living room.
