Culture method of Luoshi

Luoshi, also known as stone dragon vine, ten thousand word flower, ten thousand word jasmine and so on, belongs to evergreen woody vine of oleander family, with strong creeping climbing, can be used as color block greening, and can be used as ground cover or pot plant in garden. but this species is a poisonous plant included in the Chinese plant atlas database, the whole plant is poisonous, and the poisoning symptoms are similar to those of mandarin fruit. Let's take a look at the breeding method of Luoshi.

The growth habit of Luoshi

Luoshi is native to the south of the Yellow River Basin in China and is cultivated in both north and south. It has strong adaptability to climate, can withstand cold and summer heat, but avoids severe cold. Like the moist environment, avoid the dry wind. Like weak light, but also withstand the hot sun and high temperature. Climb to the wall, both the sunny side and the shady side. The requirements of the soil are not harsh, generally medium fertility light clay and sandy loam are suitable, acid soil and alkaline soil can grow, more resistant to drought, but avoid water, pot planting should not be too much watering, keep the soil moist.

The Propagation method of Luoshi

The main results are as follows: 1. Striping: Luoshi's tender stem is very easy to grow air root in plum rain season. making use of this characteristic, its tender stem is continuously pressed and cut from the middle in autumn, a large number of seedlings can be obtained.

2. Cutting: Luoshi in the plum rain season, cut the tender stem with air root, insert it into the plain soil and place it in the semi-shade place, the survival rate is very high, but the survival rate of the old stem cutting is low.

3. Sowing: Luoshi potted flowers generally do not bear seeds, but can bear cylindrical fruits after flowering. After mature and harvested in October, they will be sown in the next spring, but the sowing seedlings will not blossom until three or four years later.

Culture method of Luoshi

1. Fertilizer: Huaye Luoshi likes fertilizer, but it is not demanding. All kinds of fertilizers can be used. It can blossom without fertilization for a year, but the amount of flowers is less. Potted flowers and leaves in order to make the flowers like brocade, you can apply more bone powder and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, less nitrogen fertilizer. The compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied once in spring and autumn, but not in winter and summer.

2. Watering: the flower and leaf collaterals like to be moist, and the basin soil should be slightly moist in the growing season, watering once every two days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and once every half a month in winter. The basin soil is slightly moist and can not be watered at any time. Potted flowers and leaves placed in the roof garden or courtyard should pay attention to the discharge of stagnant water in the rainy season, and do not plant them in low-lying land, otherwise the roots will rot easily, and it is not too late to see the soil dry and water again in the growing season, but not in winter.

3. Pruning: flower and leaf collaterals are resistant to pruning, evergreen all the year round, and can also be used with golden leaf privet and red leaf Berberis for greening with colored blocks. Controlling the length of rattan by pruning can promote branching and is beneficial to the fullness of plant type. The first pruning when the vine reaches 8 cm in length, leave about 6 cm to cut off, and then prune every 4 cm to 5 cm, usually pruning 2 cm 3 times to have a good basin shape.

4. Illumination: flowers and leaves are temperate flowers, like warmth and light, the ground should be planted in the sun, the growth in the shade is poor, the flowers are few, the fragrance is light, or even no flowers. Potted plants should be placed in a sunny place in spring, autumn and winter. In midsummer, if you can see the sun in the morning or evening and avoid the strong light at noon, the flowers will bloom continuously. If you get too much sun at noon, there will be few or no flowers. Luoshi is more hardy. In the Yellow River basin and its south, it is safe to winter outdoors. In the north, it is better to winter in a low greenhouse.

5, diseases and pests: mosaic collaterals diseases are mainly anthracnose and leaf spot, etc., with 50% methyl thiophanate 600 times 800 times solution or 70% mancozeb wettable powder 800 times solution to control. The harm of red spiders and other mites and moth larvae was controlled by 15% chlorpromazine 1000-1500 times. Aphids were treated with imidacloprid 25% wettable powder 1500 times or 48% Lesbon EC 2000-3000 times.
