Propagation methods of Saxifraga

Saxifraga has strong adaptability and tolerance to shade, so it is not difficult to plant Saxifraga artificially, nor is it difficult to reproduce, but if you want to improve the survival rate, you need to pay attention to the method of reproduction. Saxifraga is generally propagated by the method of dividing plants, and the sowing method can also be used.

Saxifraga

Ramet method: cut off the small plants on the stolon from late spring to early autumn and plant them in a shallow culture pot, one in each pot, covered with glass or plastic film, pay attention to maintain a high humidity, and then plant them in a small pot when the root system is developed. The plantlets can also be planted directly in a small basin, watered thoroughly, placed in a wet place, and the growth can be restored in about 2 weeks. If planted in the rock garden, it can be planted in the north of the rock to avoid direct sunlight. If it is a potted plant, one seedling per pot can be hung under the eaves in front of the window and let it crawl and droop. Need to spray water frequently to improve the humidity of the surrounding environment. Keep it in a cool, ventilated place during the hot season to control moisture. After returning to growth in autumn, it is necessary to increase watering and apply dilute liquid fertilizer twice a week. Fertilizer should be applied under the leaves to avoid contaminating the leaves and affecting growth. Saxifraga stem long and prostrate, stem tip bearing small plants, like gold thread hanging hibiscus.

Sowing is carried out from March to April, and seedlings can emerge after about half a month.

Culture methods of Saxifraga

Alias: Saxifraga, Schima superba, Saxifragaceae: Saxifragaceae, flowering period: may-August Flower language: tips for sustainable use: family conservation. Home display: suitable for display in the hall, bedroom, study, balcony, windowsill, bathroom and other places. Basic maintenance management

Light

Like the overcast and wet environment.

Temperature

The suitable temperature for growth is 20-28 ℃.

Soil

Suitable for growing in neutral to slightly acidic, rich in organic matter, well-drained soil. The basin soil is made up of garden soil: rotten leaf soil: river sand = 4:4:2.

Watering

Like the humid environment, in spring to keep the soil moist, often spray water to the page and around, increase air humidity. The temperature is high in summer and early autumn, the plant is in a semi-dormant state, watering should be less. Dry wetlands should be watered in winter.

Fertilizer application

During the peak growth period in spring, nitrogen fertilizer was applied every 20 days, and no fertilizer was applied at high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter.

The Culture method of Saxifraga

Saxifraga alias Schima superba leaves and so on, the leaves are very similar to tiger ears, with stripes, often planted indoors as bonsai. Next, we will tell you about the breeding methods of Saxifraga and the flower language knowledge of Saxifraga.

The culture method of Saxifraga

1. The propagation method of Saxifraga: Saxifraga is mainly propagated by ramets. When Saxifraga grows to a certain size, it will grow small plants at the end of the creeping branches. In spring, the small plants will be cut off, transplanted into a large flowerpot, and then covered with a thin plastic film. Pay attention to maintain a high temperature, wait for the root system to grow well, you can plant it in a small flowerpot and put it in a wet place for about two weeks to restore growth.

2. Soil: the best soil selected by potted Saxifraga is sandy soil rich in organic matter, and it also has good drainage, which can be mixed with river sand.

3. Temperature: Saxifraga likes a warm environment, and the most suitable growth temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees. Saxifraga is also hardy and can winter at a low temperature of 5 degrees, but Saxifraga tricolor is not hardy and the overwintering temperature is 15 degrees. If it is lower than this temperature, it will die, so keeping warm in winter is also necessary.

4. Watering: Saxifraga likes a humid environment and needs high humidity in the growing season, so the basin soil should always be moist, but can not accumulate water. In summer, in addition to proper watering, it is also necessary to spray water to increase the humidity in the air and the humidity on the leaf surface. Saxifraga has a dormant period after flowering in spring and summer. At this time, you can water less, keep the pot dry, and change the pot or renew it after flowering every spring.

5. Lighting: Saxifraga is to be raised in a semi-overcast environment, and it will be difficult to survive in places where the sun shines all day. Because too strong light will lead to leaf burns, if the light is too weak, the leaves will not be bright enough, so shading treatment should be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, and brighter scattered light should be used for illumination treatment.

6. Fertilization: except that Saxifraga needs a small amount of mature base fertilizer when planting, fertilization in the growing season can apply dilute liquid fertilizer every two weeks, if the concentration is too high, it will cause plant death.

7. Pest control

The main diseases are gray mold and powdery mildew. Botrytis cinerea is mainly harmful to leaves. Spots often occur along the leaf margin, semicircular or round to irregular, water-routed, dark green to brown. When the humidity is high, the disease part expands rapidly and the whole leaf becomes dark brown and rotten, and the disease part produces a gray mildew layer. The 800-fold solution of 28% Botrytis cinerea wettable powder can be used, and 50% carbendazim 800-fold solution can be used to control powdery mildew. Pests may include whitefly and whitefly.

The flower words of Saxifraga:

Saxifraga has a wonderful scientific name, literally translated from Latin as a rock cutter, because Saxifraga likes to grow at the foot of the mountain behind the sun and in rock cracks. For a long time, maybe you can really cut the rock! Therefore, the flower language of Saxifraga is-continuous.
