How to raise potted trees?

The rich tree is also known as Malaba chestnut, Sino-American kapok, goose palm money, etc., is a small tree of the genus Chestnut of the kapok family, native to Central America, Mexico to Costa Rica, beautiful plant shape, green stems and leaves throughout the year, seedling branches soft, resistant to pruning, can be processed into various artistic shapes of pile scenery and bonsai, street trees and scenic trees are often made in the south. Let's take a look at how to raise potted wealth trees.

The growth habits of the rich tree

The rich tree originated from Central America, Mexico to Costa Rica, and grew normally in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. Like high temperature and humidity climate, poor cold tolerance, seedlings avoid frost, adult trees can withstand light frost and long-term 5-6 ℃ low temperature, South China can winter in the open field, the north must be moved into the greenhouse in winter to prevent cold, like fertile loose, breathable and water-retaining sandy soil, acidic soil, avoid alkaline soil or clayey soil, more resistant to water and moisture, but also slightly resistant to drought.

The Propagation method of Rich Tree

1. Cuttage: the best time for rich tree cuttings is in May and June, when the sturdy branches with sprouts are cut and inserted into the sand, and at the same time pay attention to moisturizing and shading, so that they can take root and survive in one month. In spring, the branches can also be cut off when the plant is topped, and the cuttings can be cut in sand or coarse sand to maintain a certain humidity and take root in about 30 days.

2. Sowing: the rich tree seeds should be sowed immediately after picking. The seeds should be covered with a 1 cm soil layer to protect moisture and shade. The temperature should be controlled at 20 to 25 degrees. It can sprout in about a week. Attention should be paid to the fertile soil and good water permeability of the seedbed, preferably containing sand and gravel. It is good for new buds to take root.

How to raise a potted rich tree?

1. Potted soil: when rich trees are bought, most of them are brought by merchants. Flower friends do not have to change the soil immediately after buying it. Keep it first, and then consider the matter of changing soil later. If you change the soil, rich trees generally use loose vegetable garden soil or peat soil, rotten leaf soil, coarse sand, plus a small amount of compound fertilizer or chicken manure as base fertilizer and culture soil.

2. Lighting: the cultivation of wealth trees should be placed in a place with sufficient sunshine indoors, and attention should be paid to the leaves facing the sun, so that they can not be shaded for a long time, otherwise the branches and leaves will be distorted. It is best to spray water on the leaves of the rich tree every 3 to 5 days, which is not only conducive to photosynthesis, but also make the branches and leaves more beautiful.

3. Watering: when the amount of water is too little, the development of branches and leaves will stagnate, if the amount of water is too large, the roots may rot and die, and if the amount of water is moderate, the branches and leaves will be hypertrophy. The first principle of watering wealth trees is that they would rather be wet than dry, and should be watered more in summer and high temperature season, less in winter, and less in prosperous periods. Under normal circumstances, it is OK to water once every 15 to 20 days.

3. Fertilization: the demand for fertilizer of rich trees is greater than that of other flowers and trees, and the proportion of fertilizer soil can be 1/3 when changing pots. Fertile soil includes humus fallen leaves, mixed bones, mixed bean cake dregs and so on. These fertile soils are highly effective and easy to obtain. However, care should be taken to make it fully mature so as not to yellowing the leaves. During the growing period of the rich tree (that is, from May to September), mature liquid fertilizer or flower fertilizer should be applied every 15 days to make it have deep roots and luxuriant leaves.

4. Humidity: the rich tree culture should be often watered, thoroughly watered, less stagnant water, and avoid excessive watering. The leaves should be sprinkled frequently to maintain the humidity of the plant on the one hand and wash the floating soil on the other to ensure the ornamental value. Indoor farming should be watered every 3-5 days in summer and 5-10 days in spring and autumn. It depends on the room temperature in winter. If the room temperature is about 12 ℃, water can be watered once a month.

5, temperature: the rich tree originated from Central America, Mexico to Costa Rica like high temperature and humid environment, its most suitable growth temperature is 18: 30 ℃, culture should pay attention to maintain a temperature of more than 15 ℃, and often spray water to branches and leaves to increase humidity, while in late autumn and winter, attention should be paid to cold prevention and anti-freezing work.

6. change the basin: the newly introduced plants of the rich tree do not have to change pots in that year to prevent the tree from getting out of shape. The suitable season for changing pots is spring, or in July and August, when plants are in a semi-dormant state during the high temperature period. The rich tree has strict requirements on the basin soil, which should be slightly tidal and well drained, and the basin soil can use acidic sandy loam containing humus.

7. Diseases and insect pests: the common harm of leaf spot disease in rich trees can be controlled by spraying 1000 times of carbendazim. The pests of rich trees include shell insects, whitefly and leaf borer, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of imidophos EC.

What if the leaves of the rich tree turn yellow?

1. Light discomfort: it is caused by no light in the room for a long time, and the leaves are unable to supply nutrients by photosynthesis. If it can be put in indoor light in winter, in spring and autumn, in outdoor light, and in summer, it can be cultivated in outdoor shade, and vitality can be restored soon.

2. The temperature is too high: in summer, if the rich tree is put in a high temperature place and let the strong light shine directly, it is very easy to cause the leaf tip and edge of the young leaf of the rich tree to scorch, or the leaf yellow to fall off. At this time, you should move to a well-ventilated shady place in time.

3. Too much watering: too much watering, the basin soil is in a wet state for a long time, resulting in root neck rot, leaves yellowing and falling off. The base of the rich tree stem is inflated, storing a lot of water and nutrients, very resistant to drought, not too much watering, too often. Especially in winter, the temperature is low, too much watering, too often can easily lead to root rot, leaves yellow, black, shedding.
