How to keep twelve stripes?

Striped twelve volumes, also known as striped snake tail orchid, golden pheasant tail, etc., are perennial succulent herbs belonging to twelve volumes of lily family, which have good ornamental value. The plump leaves are embedded with white star points, fresh and elegant, which can be matched with beautiful pots and bowls to decorate the table table and several frames. Let's take a look at how to raise the striped twelve volumes together!

Growth Habits of Striped Twelve Rolls

Stripe twelve volumes originated in tropical arid areas of southern Africa, and can be cultivated in many parts of the world. Likes warm, dry and sunny environments. Fear of low temperature and humidity, the appropriate temperature for growth period from March to September is 16~18℃, September to March of the following year is 10~13℃, and the lowest temperature in winter is not lower than 5℃. The soil requirements are not strict, with fertile, loose sandy loam is appropriate.

The reproduction method of twelve stripes

1, plant division propagation: Stripe twelve volumes of plant division time is best to choose early spring 2~3 months, the mother plant from the pot, with a sharp knife to separate the plants, each plant divided out with roots, and to its leaves for appropriate pruning, conducive to plant survival. After soaking the cut small plants in chlorothalonil solution for 5 minutes, take them out and dry them, and then plant them in pots. Or after the basin irrigation with chlorothalonil roots, normal maintenance can be.

2. Leaf insertion propagation: Stripe twelve rolls When transplanting, remove the soil at the bottom of the plant, select a complete leaf, and require a part of the stem tissue. Coat the leaves with rooting powder and let them cool in the shade. Then place the leaves in warm, shady, moist soil. With luck, the leaves will take root and grow into small plants.

3, lateral bud propagation: Stripe twelve volumes in a certain environment will grow a lot of lateral buds, can be separated from the mother plant lateral buds, and then directly planted in the soil. After the lateral buds are removed, there will be a wound. Apply rooting powder, put in the shade for 1~2 days, and then plant. Water carefully and keep the soil moist until the lateral buds take root.

The cultivation method of striped twelve rolls

1, soil: stripe twelve volume of soil requirements are not strict, to fertile, loose sandy loam is appropriate, potted due to shallow roots, shallow planting is good, with fertile, well-drained decayed soil mixed with coarse sand cultivation. Keep the pot soil moist during the growth period and fertilize once a month. Winter and midsummer semi-dormant period, appropriate dry, strictly controlled watering.

2. Watering: The twelve volumes of stripes are more resistant to drought and are not resistant to water and humidity, but they are definitely not drought-loving, so watering should follow the alternation of dry and wet. Watering must be thoroughly watered. When watering, pay attention to whether there are cracks in the basin soil, and block it in time. Otherwise, even if watering is very diligent, the basin soil cannot be watered thoroughly. It will be harmful for a long time. In winter, if the ambient temperature is lower than 15℃, it is necessary to maintain a certain dry state, which is conducive to overwintering.

3, sunshine: Stripe twelve rolls like light, resistant to semi-shade environment, can not be placed in the shade for a long time, otherwise not only growth is inhibited, stripes will gradually become dim. In summer, it needs to be maintained in a semi-shady environment and avoid strong light to prevent burns. In winter, sufficient light conditions are needed, and insufficient light is easy to cause leaf degeneration and shrinkage, which seriously affects normal growth.

4. Temperature: The optimum growth temperature of the twelve volumes of stripes is 15℃~32℃, afraid of high temperature and sultry heat, and enters dormant state when the temperature is above 33℃ in summer heat. Avoid cold frost, winter temperature needs to be kept above 10℃, in winter temperature drops below 7℃ also enter dormant state, if the ambient temperature is close to 4℃, will die due to frostbite.

5, fertilization: stripe twelve volume of fertilizer demand is not large, generally to apply a thin fertilizer water can be satisfied once a month, thick fertilizer and raw fertilizer to prohibit application, otherwise it is easy to produce fertilizer damage and cause losses, serious whole plant necrosis. Due to the slow growth, it is generally possible to change pots once every 2 years. Some decomposed organic fertilizer should be added to each pot change to ensure the nutritional needs of the plants. Granular fertilizers are generally only slow release fertilizers and controlled release fertilizers.

6, pest: stripe twelve sometimes root rot and brown spot damage, available 65% zinc wettable powder 1500 times spray. Insect pests mainly include whiteflies and scale insects, etc., using imidacloprid, aphid, etc. to control whiteflies, using scale insects, such as scale insects, can also be wiped or brushed to control scale insects.
