Breeding methods and matters needing attention of Camellia oleifera

Duck foot wood is the well-known goose palm wood, because there are many branches of duck foot wood, so the method of cutting propagation is often used to propagate. Duck foot wood is a very ideal indoor plant with strong adaptability and high survival rate of artificial reproduction.

Duck foot wood

First, cuttage propagation. Before the growth of new shoots in spring, one-year-old branches were cut as cuttings, and the ear length was 8ml / 10cm. Remove the lower leaves, keep the top 1 murine 2-layer leaves, and cut the lower end of the cuttings into horseshoe shape. Use river sand or vermiculite to make a seedbed, insert cuttings into 2max 3, arched shed height 10ml 15cm, cover with plastic film and keep sufficient moisture. When the base temperature is 25 ℃, 4mer can be rooting and planted in pot for 6 weeks.

Second, full light fog insertion breeding. Making use of the plant growing season, a small environment with high humidity is artificially created to enable plants to reproduce quickly and asexually under the condition of high temperature and high humidity. First of all, lay a layer of brick on the bottom of the cutting pond, on which the sterilized river sand is 30 centimeters thick. Secondly, the cuttings were selected to grow 8 cm in length, the lower leaves were removed, 1000 mg / kg of abt rooting powder was dipped in the root for 20 minutes, and the cuttings were inserted into Chi Sha 1max 2. It is best to insert in the afternoon, spray from 8 to 17:00 in the first two weeks, with an interval of 3 minutes, and stop spraying at night; the third and fourth week is 8 minutes; the interval after the fifth week is 10 minutes, when it has already taken root (in case of low temperature or cloudy and rainy weather, the rooting time may be relatively late). After the roots of the seedlings are strong and strong, they can be planted separately.

Third, high branches are propagated by striping. Can be carried out from late April to mid-June. Select 2-year-old branches, first ring peeling, 1-1.5cm wide, deep green cambium is appropriate, with wet moss or mature cow dung and pastoral soil (1 ∶ 1) or rotten leaf soil around the wound, and finally wrapped with plastic film and tied up the upper and lower ends. It takes about 40 days to take root, which is labor-consuming and time-consuming, but the root system is good, the survival rate is high, and it is helpful for plant shaping and pruning.

[FAQ] what are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of duck foot wood?

[expert answers]

The best breeding time: cuttage propagation of duck foot: from April to September. Sowing and reproduction: from April to May.

The best growing soil: the pot soil of duck foot wood can be mixed with peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer, or potted with fine sand.

Growth humidity requirements: duck feet like warm and humid environment, avoid scorching sun, more resistant to shade. It grows well in the environment of high air humidity and sufficient soil moisture.

The best growth temperature: duck foot wood likes the warm environment, the suitable growth temperature is 15-25 ℃, and the lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 ℃, otherwise it will cause leaf shedding. New leaves will appear in the following spring.

The best growth light: duck foot wood, duck foot wood like semi-shade, which can be watched for a long time in a bright and well-ventilated home. Such as indoor direct light for about 4 hours a day can grow well. Varieties with yellow and white markings, such as weak light or partial application of nitrogen fertilizer, will blur their markings and lose their original characteristics.

Fertilizer application: duck foot wood is applied liquid fertilizer every 1-2 weeks in the growing season. Fertilization is applied once a week during the summer growth period, and granular fertilizer such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be used to loosen the soil. On the other hand, less nitrogen fertilizer was applied to the variegated leaves, and if there was too much nitrogen fertilizer, the patches would fade and turn green.

Watering key points: the watering amount of duck foot wood varies according to the season, and more water is needed in summer. Watering once a day to keep the basin soil moist, every 3-4 days in spring and autumn.

Pruning essentials: duck foot wood grows slowly, and it is easy to sprout and grow branches, so it needs to be pruned frequently. When the old plant is too large in indoor cultivation for many years, it can be re-pruned in combination with changing pots, remove most of the branches, cut off part of the root at the same time, and plant again.

Pot soil replacement: young duck foot trees change pots every spring, and adult plants change pots once every two years. If you use plastic containers, you should pay attention to drainage. Pot soil is prepared with peat soil, rotten leaf soil, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer, and can also be potted with fine sandy soil.

Pest control: the common diseases of duck foot wood are leaf spot and anthracnose, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of acetic acid solution. Insect pests are mainly caused by shell insects, which are sprayed with 1000 times of omethoate EC. In addition, the leaves of red spiders, thrips and leafminers can be sprayed with 3000 times of permethrin EC.

[editor's comments] duck foot wood is one of the most popular indoor foliage plants. Many people will plant a pot of duck foot wood at home or office. The above first agricultural classics editor introduced to you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of duck foot wood. Friends who like it can refer to it.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of duck foot wood

Duck foot wood is a very popular green plant in daily life. It not only has a beautiful and generous appearance, but also has a high status in fengshui, so it is especially suitable for breeding at home. The breeding method of duck foot wood is not complicated, but there are many places that need to pay special attention to in the process of breeding. I will take you to understand this knowledge.

The culture method of duck foot wood

1. Soil

At ordinary times, when raising duck foot wood, you must choose a suitable soil. This kind of plant likes the soil with deep and loose soil layer. When breeding at home, you can choose rotten leaf soil or peat soil as the substrate, and you can add about 1/4 of the garden soil or river sand. In addition, you should also apply an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer as the base fertilizer before planting.

2. Watering

It is very important to water duck foot wood well. This kind of plant is afraid of both dryness and waterlogging. Usually, it must be watered in time to keep the soil moist, but after entering the cold weather in winter, water absorption will slow down, and its growth rate will slow down. At this time, it is necessary to reduce water supply, and stagnant water must not appear in the flowerpot during breeding, otherwise its roots will rot, leaves will fall off, and duck feet will die in serious cases.

Matters needing attention in culture

1. Light regulation

Duck foot wood is a kind of green plant with strong vitality. it can grow normally as long as it has suitable soil and sufficient moisture, but it also needs to pay special attention if it wants to raise it well. This kind of plant likes to grow in a semi-overcast environment. Usually in its peak growing season, it can be placed indoors where there is scattered light, but after entering winter, it needs to be moved to the south window facing the sun. In the process of breeding, duck foot wood must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise its leaves will fall off a large number, and the ornamental value will decline accordingly.

2. Temperature regulation

Breeding duck foot wood must pay attention to temperature regulation, the cold tolerance of this plant is very poor, winter can not be put in the environment of less than 10 degrees, otherwise its leaves will turn yellow, when the temperature drops below zero, duck foot wood will die, usually control the indoor temperature at about 20 degrees, its growth is the most exuberant. In addition, when raising duck foot wood, we should also pay attention to the supply of fertilizer, it should be fertilized once a week during the peak growing season, fertilizer can choose thin cake fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer.
