How to cultivate and maintain the variable-leaf wood in water?

Variable leaf wood, alias sprinkling golden banyan. The leaf shape and leaf color of variable leaf trees are varied, and the same plant can also change according to different growth periods, which can be described as one leaf polymorphism, one leaf multi-color, and very ornamental (figure). Change leafy trees into evergreen shrubs. It is 1 ~ 2m high and much branched. Simple leaves alternate, thickly leathery. The shape, size and color of leaves vary greatly. Leaves are oval, ovate, linear, lanceolate, etc., entire or divided; flat, wavy or spirally twisted. The leaves are yellow, purple, green, red, white and so on. Leaves covered with spots, patches, or stripes.

1. Hydroponic method

The main results are as follows: (1) mature soil plantlets can be selected for hydroponics, which can be washed by root washing and planted in containers.

(2) because of the bright color of the variable leaf wood, when selecting the container, the crystal glassware and the traditional craft basin are the best, and its diameter is about 1 inch 5 of the plant height.

(3) because the root system of variable-leaf wood is not tolerant to drought, water can be added to the 3 places of 1-2-2 root system, and water roots can grow in 20-30 days.

2. Maintenance guidelines

The main results are as follows: (1) the suitable temperature for the growth of variable-leaf trees is 20-30 ℃. The winter temperature should be higher than 13 ℃, and freezing injury will occur when the temperature is lower than 5 ℃. Changing leaves like light, except for a little shade in summer and autumn, it can be exposed to full-day light at other times.

(2) the water can be changed once in the initial 2-3 days and 15-20 days after growing and rooting.

(3) the nutrient solution was added when the leaf wood was changed by fertilization and hydroponics. The changing leaf wood is not good for fertilizer, if it is found that it grows slowly, it can reduce the concentration of nutrient solution and prolong the replacement time to 30 days. If you find a change in the color of the nutrient solution, you should change it immediately so as not to affect the ornamental effect.

(4) Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests will cause occasional scale disease and red spider disease. If infection is found, it can be removed by artificial capture.
