Habits of alum root and matters needing attention in maintenance

Alum root, also known as coral bell, is a perennial cold-resistant herbaceous flower, because the alum root was introduced into our country for a short time, planting people are also relatively few, so the maintenance experience of alum root is also less. The editor has sorted out the key points about the maintenance of alum root for you, and novice friends can learn together.

Alum root

Alum roots are cold-resistant, like yang and shade, grow well in fertile, well-drained, humus-rich soil, like neutral, sour, loose and fertile loam, suitable for growing in moist but well-drained, semi-shaded soil, avoid strong light, slow seedling growth, exuberant growth after seedling growth, is a rare colored leaf shade ground cover plant, resistant to-34 ℃ low temperature.

Alum root is very easy to grow, no matter the light condition is full light or partial shade, whether the cultivated soil is slightly moist or slightly dry, whether the humidity is high or low, they can grow well. In spite of this, it should be noted that in the process of cultivation, they prefer a semi-shaded, cooler environment and should avoid strong direct sunlight in the afternoon.

Points for attention in alum root cultivation:

The main results are as follows: 1. Cultivated in sunny place in winter, it is cold-tolerant and can grow at a temperature above-15 ℃.

2. Growing in semi-shade in summer, avoid strong light.

3. Use soil and fertilizer: plant in the soil with good drainage and add slow-release fertilizer. During the growth period, proper fertilization should be applied.

4. Watering: follow the principle of "dry and wet". The surface of the soil is dry and watered. Because you don't like being too wet, watering can be properly controlled in summer.

How to raise alum root culture methods and matters needing attention

Alum root is a kind of ornamental plant with leaves as an ornamental. Its size is relatively small, and the colors of leaves are diversified. Generally, red, yellow, green and purple are the most common. Now many people will choose alum root for breeding, but most people are not very clear about its breeding method before breeding, so let's take a look at it!

How to raise alum root

1. The best breeding time: as long as you avoid the high temperature at noon in summer, you can reproduce all the year round.

2. The best growing soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral and acidic soil rich in humus.

3. Growth humidity requirements: do not like moisture, like semi-dry and wet environment.

4. The best growth temperature: the growth is good above 15 degrees below zero, but higher than 30 degrees, stop growing.

5, the best growth light: alum root cold-resistant, like Yang and Yin.

Alum root culture method

1. Light and temperature. Alum is cold-resistant, sunny and shady, so it is very suitable for maintenance in a cool semi-shady place. In summer, avoid direct sunlight, properly shade, and remember to keep ventilated. The alum root can be maintained in the sun in winter. The alum root is cold-resistant and can grow at a temperature above-15 ℃.

2. Alum root can be watered twice a week in summer, once a week in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter, even without watering. Watering is determined according to the tree condition of the plant. In addition, it can be watered in the afternoon in summer and less in the morning on a sunny day when it is cold in winter. Don't spray water on the core.

3. Fertilization. Culture alum root, we should also pay attention to proper fertilization, in fact, alum root in the soil with less fertilizer content, the growth will be better, but can also tolerate the soil with higher fertilizer content. You can add a little more nitrogen fertilizer.

4. Methods of reproduction. The propagation of alum root mainly adopts the methods of sowing propagation and separate plant propagation, and cutting propagation can also be used. Ramets of flowers, and so on the mother plant almost burst pot, can split. When dividing plants, pay attention to sterilization and disinfection, planting is not strict with the soil, if there are conditions, then slight acid, water retention and ventilation, get some peat soil mixed with perlite about four to one, regularly on the fertilizer, do not accumulate water.

Matters needing attention in alum root culture

1. Whether the alum root can be exposed in winter mainly depends on the temperature. Although alum root is a relatively cold-tolerant and shade-tolerant plant, the low temperature in winter can hurt it. In winter, it is necessary to decide whether to put it indoors or outdoors according to the climatic environment and the growth of alum roots.

2. When curing alum root, the soil must be loose and breathable, and some river sand can be mixed in the soil to increase air permeability and drainage. Watering should follow the principle of dryness and rewatering, especially in summer, do not cause root rot because of stagnant water.

3. Alum root likes light, and sufficient sunlight is beneficial to the growth of alum root. But the summer sun is too strong for the alum root, so the alum root needs to avoid direct sunlight in the summer, and can be maintained on a shaded balcony, or in a shady place, such as an air-conditioned room.

Diseases and insect pests of alum root and its control

1. No matter what kind of plants, diseases and insect pests are fatal blows. Once diseases and insect pests occur, they will affect the growth of plants and even make them die. Alum root is a newly introduced plant, diseases and insect pests are relatively rare, occasionally aphids, gray mold and root rot occur. Therefore, prevention is the main way to prevent diseases and insect pests.

2. In the process of maintenance, if you are worried about the threat of diseases and insect pests, you can often spray some pesticides or carbendazim for disinfection. The maintenance of the environment needs to be semi-shaded and kept cool to avoid direct sunlight, which can reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests.

The culture method of alum root can start from its growth habits, pay special attention to its light and temperature when breeding, and shade well when it is hot in summer. The fertilizer and water technology of alum root is also very important, and an appropriate amount of fertilization in Jiaoshui River is an inevitable factor to ensure its growth.

How to propagate alum root the method of alum root and leaf insertion propagation

Alum root is a very special plant, generally speaking, the propagation methods of plants mostly stay in the ways of sowing and ramet or cutting, while alum root is different, except for some of the above propagation methods, alum root can even be propagated by leaf cutting. it can only be said that the reproductive ability of alum root is not too strong.

How to propagate alum root

1. Ramet propagation of alum root

Alum root after a period of growth, will grow bigger and bigger, longer and fuller, just like an explosion basin. Seeing the plants with plump alum roots, there must be a lot of flower friends who can't help but want to split.

Alum root can be propagated separately. After the alum root burst, it can be propagated in spring and autumn. Dig out the alum root plant, gently divide it into several clumps, pay attention to do not hurt the root system when dividing the alum root, sort out the small plants divided into alum root, and plant them in a pot.

2. Cutting propagation of alum root.

Cutting propagation is a common propagation method of alum root, which generally adopts the way of leaf cutting.

The advantage of alum root cutting propagation is that the speed of cutting propagation is fast, and several new plants can be propagated at a time when cutting.

Note that when alum root is used for cutting propagation, relatively complete and healthy leaves need to be selected, and the cutting substrate should be breathable and maintain a certain degree of humidity. Pay attention to ventilation and shading after cutting.

3. Sowing and propagation of alum root

Alum root can also be sown and propagated. Sowing and reproduction requires the use of seeds, and the cycle of reproduction is relatively long, so cutting is the main method of propagation.

When sowing and propagating, sow the seeds of alum root into the soil and cover the soil slightly.

4. Tissue culture of alum root.

Alum root propagation, there is tissue culture this way of reproduction, but relatively speaking, tissue culture is not the majority of flower friends to choose the way of reproduction.

Propagation method of alum root and leaf

1. Soil

Alum root leaf insertion propagation needs to choose a suitable soil, you can mix vermiculite, perlite and peat soil into a medium, or use water moss.

The medium for leaf insertion needs to ensure a certain degree of humidity and air permeability, and the mixed medium is the best.

2. utensils

Alum root for leaf insertion propagation, choose a general seedling basin, but in order to facilitate the observation of alum root growth, you can choose transparent utensils.

3. The material of leaf insertion

In order to carry out leaf insertion, it is necessary to choose the suitable leaf insertion material. Select complete healthy leaves with bases on alum roots.

When picking the leaves, gently break off the leaves of the alum root from the bottom, and choose larger leaves as far as possible, which will take root faster.

4. Breeding steps

Put the prepared medium in the petri dish, put the removed leaves on the medium, you can put 3 Murray 5 leaves, continue to add the medium, be careful not to break the leaves of the alum root.

Fill the medium with petri dish and pour enough water. The intensity of watering should be small. Do not wash the medium away.

5. Leaf cuttage maintenance

After inserting alum roots and leaves, we should pay attention to maintenance, keep the medium moist, and keep it in a shaded place to ensure ventilation. The curing temperature should be controlled between 10 ℃ and 30 ℃, which can take root in about a month. Pay attention to keeping the humidity. To be patient to wait for the growth of alum root, do not randomly pull out to watch, to control their own hands, otherwise it will reduce the survival rate. When the root system of alum root grows, transplanting can be carried out, and normal maintenance can be done after transplanting.

Growth habits of alum root

Alum root likes sunshine and can withstand shade, but avoid strong light. It has the ability to withstand cold, can withstand low temperature in winter, and grows better in the north of our country. Like loose, fertile soil, rich in humus is the best.

Does alum root blossom?

Many flower friends like alum root, flushing is the beautiful colorful leaves. However, many people will wonder whether the alum root will blossom in the end.

Alum root is also a flowering plant, the florescence of alum root is mainly in April-October, lasting for a long time, when flowering, it is also very beautiful.

After the alum root blossoms, you should pay attention to cutting off the residual flowers in time.

Alum roots inserted by leaves only take about a month to take root, but no matter what method is used to propagate alum roots, it is very important and critical that we must pay attention to the soil not being too wet, and we must pay attention to the ventilation of the environment, otherwise alum roots not only cannot successfully reproduce, but may even die.
