Introduction to ramet propagation of Dryopteris Dryopteris

Antler ferns like warm, humid and secluded environments. In nature, antler ferns often grow on tree trunks or rocks. Horticultural use of antler fern is mostly overhanging, often used for indoor hanging plant cultivation, rich tropical amorous feelings, do not have a flavor.

Dryopteris Ceratopteris

Deer antler fern is often propagated in late spring or early summer, and young plants are cut off from adult plants and cut with shield-shaped false leaves, which are fixed in the medium of Osmunda fiber, broken moss, broken charcoal and rotten leaf soil or peat soil, and cultured in a damp environment. After survival, it was transplanted to the planting hole of hanging wall planting board, and the method referred to the hanging wall planting method of bird's nest fern.

Ramet propagation of Ceratopteris Dryopteris is commonly used for ramet propagation. The ramet from June to July is the most suitable. The sturdy fern plant is selected from the mother plant, cut gently along the bottom of the shield-shaped nutrient leaf with a sharp knife, put on the sucking root and planted in the basin, covered with moss and moisturized by spraying water. Ramet time: preferably after soil thawing in early spring (February or March). The temperature at this time is more suitable for the recovery of the root system of Dryopteris Dryopteris, and does not affect its own absorption of nutrients. Split method: take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, shake off the excess potted soil, separate the root system as much as possible, and cut it into two or more plants with a sharp knife, each with a considerable root system. Each of the split seedlings is a new individual. Disinfection: soak the split plant in 1500 times chlorothalonil solution for five minutes, then take out the cool dry and put it on the basin. You can also irrigate the root with chlorothalonil immediately after putting on the basin. On the pot: when the seedlings are installed in the basin, first put a coarse-grained matrix or ceramsite with a thickness of 2cm in thickness at the bottom of the basin as a filter layer, sprinkle a layer of fully mature organic fertilizer as base fertilizer with a thickness of about 1cm to 2cm, and then cover it with a layer of substrate, which is about 1cm thick, and then put in the plant to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid burning roots. You can choose one of the following substrates for potting. Vegetable garden soil: slag = 3RU 1; or garden soil: medium coarse river sand: sawdust = 4RU 1RU 2; or one of paddy soil, pond mud, rotten leaf soil. Or peat + perlite + ceramsite = 2 + 2 + 1; vegetable garden soil + slag = 3 + 1; peat + slag + ceramsite = 2 + 2 + 1; sawdust + vermiculite + medium coarse river sand = 2 + 2 + 1. After putting on the basin, pour water once and keep it in a shaded environment. Maintenance: after filling the basin, the small plant is irrigated with root or watered once. Because its root system is greatly damaged and its water absorption capacity is very weak, it takes about 3-4 weeks to recover new roots. Therefore, it is necessary to control watering within 3-4 weeks after ramet to avoid rotting roots, but the transpiration of its leaves is not affected. In order to maintain the water balance of leaves, it is necessary to spray the leaf surface one or three times a day (more spraying at high temperature, less spraying at low temperature or no spraying at low temperature). Don't fertilize it these days. After the split, also pay attention to the sun is too strong, should be placed in the shade shed for maintenance. The Propagation method of raising Dryopteris Dryopteris

Antler fern, also known as Dryopteris, bat fern, antler fern and so on, is a plant of the genus Dryopteris of Polypodiaceae. How to raise antler fern? Next, let's take a look at the breeding method of antler fern.

How to raise antler fern

1. Selection of soil for breeding methods of Ceratopteris Dryopteris

Dryopteris Dryopteris is an epiphyte, and the loam used for its cultivation is very different from that of other potted plants. The antler fern usually uses a small amount of fern root, moss or rotten leaf soil plus a small amount of rotten dried cow dung as the cultivation substrate, tied to a piece of wood with bark, or planted in a flowerpot, wooden frame, or pot-shaped coconut shell.

2. The temperature, humidity and light of the culture method of antler fern.

The optimum growth temperature of Dryopteris Ceratopteris is 18-30 ℃, and frost is avoided. The overwintering temperature is better kept above 10 ℃. When the ambient temperature is close to 0 ℃, the plant will die from frost injury. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen air convection in summer when breeding, so that the temperature in the body can be released, and the temperature can be cooled by spray. When breeding in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm. You can wrap the antler fern plants with a thin film to spend the winter.

The antler fern, afraid of direct sunlight, grows well near bright indoor windows. When farming, it is more appropriate to keep it in a semi-shade or cover 50% of the sun in summer or 70% of the sun in winter or keep it in a brightly lit place indoors.

Antler fern likes the humid climate, and the relative air temperature of the growing environment is required to be 60-75%.

3. The cultivation method of staghorn fern: watering and fertilization.

The antler fern requires more fertilizer and water. Applying a small amount of liquid fertilizer during the growth period can make the antler fern grow luxuriantly, but it is not suitable to apply too much fertilizer. Fertilization should follow the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer, the most taboo application of concentrated fertilizer and partial application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. More fertilizer can be applied appropriately in the peak growing season, and should be controlled in winter.

The antler fern grows luxuriantly in the environment with high air humidity and less watering. Therefore, it is very suitable for greenhouse cultivation. The simplest watering method for indoor planting is to soak the whole plant in water once a week. Water more when it is sunny or hot, and reduce watering during rainy or cold days. Especially the summer temperature is higher, watering as far as possible in the lower temperature in the morning, but also often to the plant spray. Less watering in winter cold season, keep properly dry, watering time as far as possible in sunny days when the noon temperature is high.

Breeding methods of Ceratopteris Dryopteris

The common reproduction method of antler fern is to propagate separately or by spore sowing. Ramet propagation is best carried out after soil thawing in early spring (February and March). The main method is to cut the young plants on the adult plants and plant them again. When shearing, the young plants should be cut together with shield-shaped false leaves, fixed in the matrix of Osmunda Osmunda fiber, broken moss, broken charcoal and rotten leaf soil or peat soil, and cultured in a wet environment. After survival, it was transplanted to the planting hole of hanging wall planting board, and the method referred to the hanging wall planting method of bird's nest fern.
