Introduction to the propagation methods of Indian rubber trees

Indian rubber tree (detailed introduction) is a tropical tree species, which is widely cultivated in various parts of China, especially in urban potted plants. the popularization rate of Indian rubber tree is very high, and the cultivation of Indian rubber tree in the north should pay attention to greenhouse overwintering. Artificial propagation of Indian rubber trees can choose the method of sowing or cutting. The editor will briefly introduce the breeding methods of Indian rubber trees for you.

Indian rubber tree

Indian rubber trees are often propagated by sowing and cutting. Sowing and propagating seeds should be stored in sand after harvest, and then sowed in the open nursery bed in late March of the following year, with row spacing 20-25cm. The seedlings are afraid of the sun, so a Reed curtain should be set up after emergence, and the Reed curtain can be removed in the second year. In the third year, the seedlings in early spring can be transplanted once, and after another year, they can come out of the nursery. The seedlings of Chinese wolfberry in cutting propagation grow slowly and are often propagated by cuttings. Open-field cuttings can be carried out in the Yangtze River basin during the plum rain season, and pot cutting should be carried out in the north in May. In open field cuttings, biennial branches should be used as cuttings, cuttings should be 12-15cm long and 6-8cm deep, and pot cuttings should be cuttings with one-year-old twigs as cuttings, cuttings with long 8-lOcm, two leaves retained at the apex and cut off two 5cm, 4-cm deep in human soil, and inserted into plain sand. Whether it is inserted in the ground or in the basin, it should be shaded and maintained, and the northern basin should often spray water to improve air humidity. It can take root one after another after 45 days.

Introduction to the culture methods of Indian rubber trees

Indian rubber tree is an evergreen tree of the genus Ficus of Moraceae, which is native to India. It is cultivated all over China with large bright leaves and lush green seasons. It is a common foliage tree species. Potted plants can be displayed in the living room bedroom to decorate the environment. It is often used in hotels and restaurants to beautify the environment. It can be cultivated as street trees or scenic trees in warm areas. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of Indian rubber trees.

Growth habits of Indian rubber trees

Indian rubber tree is a tropical tree species, native to India, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, like to grow in a warm, humid, sunny environment, not resistant to cold, Indian rubber trees are difficult to survive in colder environments. In addition, Indian rubber trees prefer fertilizer, so it is best to choose fertile soil to plant Indian rubber trees.

Propagation methods of Indian rubber trees

Indian rubber trees are propagated mainly by cutting and can also be propagated by striping. It is appropriate to propagate Indian rubber tree by cutting from May to September. 1-2-year-old Indian rubber tree branches are selected for cutting according to each section of 3-4 sections. It should be noted that cooked lime powder or plant ash should be applied immediately on the cut branch section, and press tightly with thumb for three to five minutes to prevent the loss of juice. One or two leaves should be left on each branch to facilitate better cutting. In addition, the cutting temperature should be kept above 15 ℃.

Culture methods of Indian rubber trees

1. Temperature: the temperature of Indian rubber tree is the best at 20-25 degrees, even if it is above 30 degrees, it can grow well, but in winter, if the temperature is too low, rubber trees will produce a large number of fallen leaves and their cold tolerance is very poor. Northern China needs to spend the winter in a greenhouse.

2.Illumination: it is really good to say that sunlight is the food of plants, and sunshine is also a treasure in the cultivation of Indian rubber trees. giving it enough sunlight can make it thrive and provide proper shade from May to September.

3. Fertilization: the existence of fertilizer is like calcium supplement, which can enhance its "health". Fertilization is also one of the key points in the cultivation methods of Indian rubber trees, which can reduce the occurrence of markings and make the leaves bright. Just use nitrogen fertilizer. Remember to stop fertilizing in winter.

4. Pruning: when it is time to prune the Indian rubber tree, cut off the branches inside the crown, inward branches and thin branches to maintain its internal ventilation, good light transmission and overall shape. Usually Indian rubber tree culture methods have to turn the basin once every two years, adding rotten leaf soil and other materials to reconfigure, it likes loose and well-drained loam.

5. Soil: Indian rubber trees like fertile, loose and slightly acidic soil, and the basin soil should be prepared with 4 parts of rotten leaf soil, grass ash soil plus about one part of river sand and a small amount of base fertilizer.

6. Watering: Indian rubber trees grow faster in high temperature in summer and should be fertile and watery, but to avoid stagnant water in the basin. Gradually reduce watering after entering autumn, promote plant growth and enrichment, which is conducive to its overwintering.

How to raise Indian rubber trees? how to raise Indian rubber trees?

Indian rubber tree is a tropical tree species, its leaves are bright, evergreen all the year round, is a very common foliage tree species, so many people like to put its potted plants in the living room or bedroom, so as to add a little green and vitality to the room. For the growing environment, rubber trees like warm and wet, but also like the sun, its best growth temperature is between 20 and 25 ℃. Potted plants are widely planted in China. The following editor gives you a brief introduction to the breeding methods of Indian rubber trees.

Reproduction method

The main propagation methods of Indian rubber trees are cutting and striping. Cutting is relatively simple, and the survival rate and growth rate of rubber trees are also relatively high. Generally speaking, rubber tree cutting is mainly carried out in late spring and early summer combined with pruning. The sturdy branches in the middle of the rubber tree were selected as cuttings, and the cuttings retained three buds, and the glue at the front of the cuttings should be condensed, or some charcoal ash and rice chaff ash could be selected and dried, and then cut on the cutting bed with river sand or vermiculite as substrate to keep the growth environment of the cuttings between 18-25 ℃. The cuttings can take root in about 30 days. When the cuttage rubber tree has two leaves, it can be transplanted into the pot.

The survival rate of rubber tree propagation under high pressure is very high. When pressing the strips, it is best to choose the branches that grow in the second year. First, the branches of the rubber tree are girdled and peat, then wrapped in moist moss or plastic film or peat soil. After the rubber tree takes root, the branches that take root are cut off and loaded into the soil to grow into a new rubber tree.

Maintenance method

Indian rubber trees like to be fertile, and new seedlings need a lot of nutrients, so fat, loose and humus-rich sandy loam, rotten leaf soil and garden soil should be selected as culture soil. in addition, a small amount of cake fertilizer should be applied as base fertilizer during seedling growth to ensure soil fertility. Rubber trees avoid nitrogen fertilizer. When there is too much nitrogen fertilizer, the plant shape of rubber trees is not beautiful, so they should apply less nitrogen fertilizer.

Indian rubber trees like to be wet and need more water in summer. When breeding, we should pay attention to watering the rubber tree every day and increase the number of times of drying under the premise of ensuring that the potted soil is moist. It is worth reminding that Indian rubber trees avoid waterlogging and are not resistant to drought. when rubber trees are maintained in winter, the soil can be moist.

As a tropical tree species, Indian rubber tree has strict requirements on light and temperature. Rubber trees like light, from spring to autumn should be placed outside the sun to maintain, if placed in indoor breeding for a long time, it is very easy to cause rubber tree leaves yellowing and falling off. After winter, when the temperature drops sharply, the rubber tree should be moved to the sunny place indoors for maintenance, pay attention to the indoor temperature should be kept above 10 ℃, and then move the rubber tree to outdoor maintenance at the end of April and the beginning of May when the annual temperature rises.

After the rubber tree is transplanted into the pot, you should pay attention to turning the soil for the flowerpot. Generally speaking, it is best to turn the soil when the rubber tree grows new buds in spring every year. When the rubber tree grows too big, it can also replace a larger flowerpot for the rubber tree.

Conclusion: the above is the Indian rubber tree how to raise, Indian rubber tree breeding method, the companions who love Indian rubber tree might as well give it a try. The growing Indian rubber tree is green all over, and it can not only green the environment but also purify the air in the living room and studio. Why not do it?
