The Propagation method of Cold Water spray

Lengshui is a perennial evergreen herb with an adult height of 15mur40cm. It is now a popular small foliage plant. The leaves of Lengshui are translucent, angled, the nodes are enlarged, and the cultivation is not difficult, so they can be propagated by cutting and ramet.

Cold spray

1. Cuttage propagation: cutting can be carried out in both spring and summer. It is not suitable for cutting in high temperature season in summer, but it grows slowly in winter. Select the growing and full branches, cut the stem tip 5cm long as cuttings, retain a few leaves at the end, and insert them directly into the sand bed with vermiculite or plain sand as the matrix, or cut into the basin soil mixed with peat and soil, the depth should not exceed 2 cm. Put it in a semi-shade place, keep the soil temperature at 18-20 ℃, spray water with a spray can when it is dry, take root in about 2-3 weeks, and transplant or basin after 1-2 months.

2. Ramet propagation: the clump of cold water is very strong, so the whole pile can be divided into several parts and put on the basin respectively. At the same time, the old stem is cut short, and the basal 2-3 nodes of the stem are preserved. After survival, the axillary buds can germinate quickly and produce new lateral branches.

Cutting time: cutting can be carried out in both spring and summer. It is not suitable for cutting when the temperature is high in summer, and it can also be cut in winter, but the indoor temperature is lower and the growth is slower. Cuttings can usually be cut at a temperature between 18 and 20 ℃.

Cutting soil: it is difficult for family cuttings to find their favorite soil, so it is recommended to buy soil that has been configured and sterilized. Or dig some coarse sand on the mountain and rinse with clean water several times before use. Do not use the soil dug up in the saline-alkali soil, it is not conducive to the rooting of flowers, but will affect the growth of flowers.

Cutting branches: select the branches with strong growth of cold water spray, cut the stems and leaves at the front end by 5cm and 8cm, retain a few leaves at the front end, and insert them directly into the sand bed with vermiculite or plain sand as the matrix, or cut into the basin soil mixed with peat and soil. the depth should not exceed 2 cm. Put it in a semi-shade place, keep the soil temperature at 18-20 ℃, spray water with a spray can when it is dry, take root in about 2-3 weeks, and transplant or basin after 1-2 months.

Ramet propagation of Illicium aestivum

Cold spray is very clustered, so the plant can be taken out of the basin and divided into several layers by turning the basin and changing soil. At the same time, the old stem is cut short, and the 2-3 nodes of the stem are retained and planted in the pot. New shoots will sprout soon after survival!

The culture method of cold water flower is perennial herb, the stem is fleshy. Relatively hardy, winter room temperature not less than 6 ℃ will not be frozen, more than 14 ℃ began to grow. Like warm and humid climatic conditions, afraid of sun exposure, in a shady environment, the leaves are white and green, the internodes are short and compact, and the leaves are bright and shiny. In all shaded environments, it is often overgrown, the internodes become longer, the straw is soft, lodging easily, and the plant shape is loose. Lax requirements on the soil, can withstand weak alkali, more resistant to water and moisture, not resistant to drought. The specific culture methods of cold water flower are as follows: first, light management cold water flower is a kind of indoor flower with beautiful leaf color, which is very shady, but prefer sufficient light, and should avoid strong light. Flowerpots are placed in the north window in summer and in the south window in winter. If the light is too dark, the color of the leaves will fade; if the sun is too strong, the leaves will be burned. Second, fertilizer and water management to master the principles of moisture management, basin soil to keep dry but not crack, moist but not wet is better. In summer, often spray water on the leaves to keep them clean and shiny. Spray less water on the leaves in winter, otherwise the leaves will appear black spots, or even black and rotten. Watering 28% or 37% liquid nitrogen fertilizer at a time in about two weeks during the growing period makes the plant strong. After autumn, increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to strengthen the stem and prevent lodging. Third, the propagation method cold water splash propagation multi-purpose cutting method, spring and autumn can be carried out. When the number of families is less, the top of the stem is used as cuttings in May, and the medium is river sand or vermiculite. Under the suitable temperature (20 ℃ to 25 ℃), rooting takes place in about 10 days. When the new bud lengthens from 3 cm to 5 cm, put it on the basin with sandy soil. Pour enough water to fix the root and transfer to normal management.
