How to raise the potted plant without any trouble?

Smooth sailing is also called white crane taro, bract taro, etc., it is a perennial herb belonging to white crane taro of Araceae family. It is elegant and handsome to put potted white crane taro in hotel lobby, front of the whole field, entrance and exit of station and window of commercial building. In the south, it is equipped with small garden, poolside and corner. It is unique. Its flowers are also excellent decorative materials for flower baskets and flower arrangements. Let's take a look at how to raise potted smooth sailing together.

smooth growth habit

The optimum temperature for growth is 22~28℃, 24~30℃ from March to September, 18~21℃ from September to March of the next year. The temperature in winter is not lower than 14℃. The plant growth is hindered when the temperature is lower than 10℃. The leaves are vulnerable to freezing injury. White lily is sensitive to humidity. When it is high temperature in summer and dry in autumn, it should spray more water to ensure that the air humidity is above 50%, which is conducive to leaf growth. When high temperature is dry, the leaves are easy to curl, the leaves become smaller, wither and fall off, and the flowering period is shortened. Fear of strong light exposure, summer shade 60~70%, but long-term lack of light, it is not easy to bloom, to 500 lux is appropriate. Fertile, humus-rich loam soil is preferred.

Smooth breeding methods

1, ramets: smooth sailing in the absolute maturity before it will not sprout, so often artificially destroy the growth point, each plant can get 3 to 5 buds, when the new bud grows to about 15 cm after it is cut, and then inserted in the coarse sand, such as it takes root, here need to pay attention to is in the cut time with the stem, and then with charcoal ash painted on the wound, to prevent decay.

2. Sowing: smooth sailing sowing is a method often used in breeding bases, but it has a difficulty, that is, artificial pollination is needed. Many people have problems here, so special explanation is needed: white thin sheets are not flowers, and the protrusions in the middle are flowers. Therefore, the flowers are relatively small. When the flowers have pollen, apply a clean brush to the flowers to complete the pollination work.

3, tissue culture: smooth sailing tissue culture although there are many advantages, but so far the tissue culture method has not been widely used in China, only in the experiment will be used, the general tissue culture method is first planted in plastic pots, wait until he grows to 4~5 leaves and then sub-planting, and then after 3~4 times of pot transplant, such as seedlings 30 cm high according to conventional planting.

How to raise potted plants smoothly?

1, soil: smooth potted soil requirements loose, drainage and good ventilation, can not use heavy clay soil, fertile, humus-rich loam is good, generally available leaf soil, peat soil mixed with a small amount of pearlite preparation matrix, planting with a small amount of organic fertilizer as base fertilizer.

2, light: smooth sailing is more resistant to shade, so it is suitable for growing in a semi-shade environment, avoid direct sunlight, about 60% of scattered light can meet the growth needs of smooth sailing, so it can be placed indoors with bright scattered light all the year round. If it is exposed to bright light, it will cause yellowing of the leaves and even direct sunburn.

3, temperature: smooth sailing likes high temperature, especially afraid of cold, the most suitable growth temperature is 20~28℃, once it is put indoors in winter, it can withstand the lowest temperature of 10 degrees, so in winter time should pay attention to, so relatively speaking, the northern breeding conditions are too poor, long-term placed at low temperatures, it will cause root rot, leaf fall or scorch yellow, serious and even lead to death.

4, watering: smooth sailing on the water demand is high, must always keep the pot soil moist, but also to avoid too much watering, once too much watering, a lot of water accumulated in the pot, it is easy to cause rotten roots and plants withered. In addition, it should be noted that in summer and drought, it is necessary to regularly spray water on the leaves and the ground to increase the humidity of the air, so as to facilitate its growth.

5, fertilization: smooth sailing fertilization do not apply thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer, and after the application of solid fertilizer irrigation water, it is best to replace the water irrigation with thin fertilizer water, so that generally will not produce fertilizer damage, and white crane will grow very luxuriant.

6, pests: smooth sailing during the growth period is the most popular pests, should be regularly sprayed mite pesticides for control, such as dicofol, nisolon, pyridaben, etc. Common bacterial leaf spot disease, brown spot disease and anthracnose damage leaves, available 50% carbendazim WP 500 times spray.

7. Pot change: smooth sailing has strong germination ability, change pots once every 1~2 years, pay attention to pruning roots and cutting off withered leaves when changing pots, pot planting after over-dense plants are divided, remove some old roots and long roots, remove old soil and replace with new culture soil, so as to facilitate the flowering of white crane.
