The culture method of Castanopsis thunbergii

Castanopsis thunbergii is a large category of insectivorous plants, also known as felt moss, summer without trace, white leaves, etc., the leaves are covered with crystal clear "dewdrops" dazzling, deeply loved by people, however, for its prey, these dazzling light is "fatal", because it is through these "dewdrops" to hunt, let's take a look at the cultivation methods!

Culture substrate

The main results are as follows: 1. The requirements of other kinds of grass paste vegetables except bulb grass paste vegetables are not high. Pure water moss can be used, or two parts of water moss or peat can be used to mix one part of perlite and then add a portion of red jade soil, bark, vermiculite and other substrates. In order to prevent the growth of green algae on the surface of the substrate, a thin layer of incorruptible particles such as red jade soil can be spread on the surface to avoid the contact between the lower matrix and light.

2. The culture substrate of bulbous grass paste is different in configuration, which requires sandy soil with good water permeability. Peat and perlite can be mixed at 1:2, and peat, perlite and river sand can be mixed at 1:1:1. We should also try to use a large basin with a caliber and depth of more than 15 cm.

Humidity management

1. The humidity requirement of thatched vegetable is not high, which needs to be controlled at 40% to 90%. The humidity in the room can meet the requirements when it is dry in winter. When it is hot in summer, the humidity should not be higher than 90% for several days in a row, otherwise it may cause stem and leaf rot. If this happens, ventilation should be strengthened immediately. It usually doesn't go wrong as high as 95% in the cool season.

2, just changed the basin, just planted after the mail will be more fragile, there is usually no mucus, the need for humidification, the simplest way is to use glass jars, sets of transparent bags and other methods for stuffy, but remember not to accept direct sunlight when sulking, otherwise the sudden rise in temperature will suffocate the plants alive and should be placed in a bright and cool place. One week later, the ventilation was gradually strengthened until the light was gradually enhanced when it adapted to the environment where there was no need to sulk.

Light management

1. The vast majority of thatch vegetables are sunny and sun-resistant, so they should provide more than 4 hours of direct light every day, which is suitable for placing on balconies or windows with good light. If they can provide direct light throughout the day, it will show a very bright color, and the mucus will become more sticky. If there is no good light environment, it should also provide bright scattered light throughout the day. In general, in addition to the northern territory, the vegetable can also grow normally, but the plant is emerald green, and its growth and disease resistance are relatively poor.

2. Artemisia mandshurica in the Northern Territory is the most sun-resistant insectivorous plant, and it also has the highest requirements for light. It is best to provide an all-day environment for direct sunlight, and direct light for less than 4 hours may grow poorly. If you do not receive direct light for a long time, you will die. If there is no good lighting environment, using plant lamps to supplement light is a good choice.

3. Castanopsis carlesii and Castanopsis carlesii are two special kinds of Castanopsis thunbergii, which grow in the woodland with weak light and are not resistant to direct light and high temperature for a long time. They only need to provide bright scattered light.

4. Some ointment vegetables that are afraid of heat or have the habit of summer dormancy should also be placed in places where the light is weaker and cooler in summer, to avoid direct light from 11:00 to 3 noon as far as possible, or can be shaded by a shade net of 3080%. Common are forked leaf ointment, silk leaf hairy ointment, good hope thatch ointment, imperial thatch ointment, Artilomao ointment and so on.

Watering control

1. Mao paste vegetables are usually more resistant to moisture, and the method of "waist water" can be used for water supply, that is, flowerpots are placed in containers such as water plates and glass vats, so that the water can infiltrate into the whole flowerpot by itself, as long as there is about 1 cm of water in the water plate. to keep the matrix moist.

2. Maogao vegetables have high requirements for water quality, and soft water with low mineral contents such as calcium and magnesium should be used when watering. Hard water will slow down the growth of thatched vegetables, especially in hot temperatures, which may cause their stems and leaves to rot and die quickly. If this has already happened, you can replace a clean substrate for treatment, and use soft water such as Rain Water, bottled water, purified water, air conditioning condensate, water with reverse osmosis and other soft water.

Temperature control

1. Mini thatch ointment: mini thatch ointment does not require high temperature. the survival temperature is mostly between 0 and 37 degrees, and the best temperature is between 5 and 30 degrees. After 15 degrees in late autumn, many "winter buds" will begin to grow at the growing point in the center of the plant. These winter buds will mature after a month and will germinate and grow into new plants like seeds.

2. Temperate thatch ointment vegetables: temperate thatgrass ointment vegetables are relatively resistant to low temperature, and will slowly wither insect-catching leaves below 10-15 degrees, and grow into some very small dormant leaves without mucus. They can generally survive the low temperature of 0 degrees in winter and grow exuberantly when they get warmer in spring. In summer, temperate herbs are generally heat-resistant, and most of them can safely survive the high temperature of 37 degrees, but when they exceed their optimal growth temperature (about 30 degrees), they should be placed in a place with weaker light and cooler light.
