Breeding and breeding methods of bird's nest fern

Bird's nest fern is also known as nest fern, mountain perilla, crown fern. Bird's nest fern likes warm and humid environment, it should be noted that bird's nest fern is not resistant to high temperature and cold, so remember to spray more water and ventilation when the temperature is higher than 30 ℃. Although the breeding difficulty of bird's nest fern is relatively low, it also needs astigmatism in the daily feeding environment to grow better, and avoid exposure or no light.

Bird's nest fern grows best in low and medium indirect light. These ferns usually grow for their crumpled leaves and the light they receive affects how the leaves wrinkle. Bird's nest ferns that receive more light, for example, will have more wrinkled leaves, while one that receives less light will have flat leaves. But keep in mind that too much light or direct light can cause bird's nest fern leafy bodies to yellow and die.

Bird's nest fern

I. planting

The soil of potted bird nest fern is the best in peat soil or rotten leaf soil. The growth of 2-3 years depends on planting nest fern, the plant shape is open, and the root is full of pot rack, which can be protruded from the basin, remove part of the residual root and the base withered sporophyte, take it out in the plant, and replant it on the pot. When changing the basin in spring, rotten leaf soil and moss should be added to the basin, and a little gravel should be added.

Second, temperature and light

The suitable temperature for the growth of bird's nest fern is 22 ℃. It should be shaded in summer or placed in a sparse shade under a big tree to avoid strong direct sunlight, which is beneficial to growth and make the leaves shiny. Put it in a brightly lit place indoors, not in the dark for a long time. It should be moved into the greenhouse in winter and the temperature should be kept above 16 ℃ so that it can continue to grow, but the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃.

III. Watering and fertilization

In addition to light, another important aspect of bird's nest fern care is its watering. Ideally, all ferns want to have continuously moist, but not moist, soil. However, the bird's nest fern is an ideal indoor plant in part because it will tolerate the soil when it dries. This plant does not need humidity, and many other species of ferns need the same level, making the occasionally forgetful indoor plants that take care of the bird's nest fern more tolerant than other ferns. Under the condition of high temperature and humidity in summer, the vigorous growth of new leaves needs more water spraying, fully spraying the leaf surface and maintaining a higher air temperature, which is beneficial to spore germination. With the increase of the leaves, the leaves are often covered with the culture soil in the basin, and the pot must be watered thoroughly in order to avoid the dry and curl of the leaves caused by the lack of water. Fertilizer should only be given to the factory 3 times a year. Even so, fertilizers should be applied only at half strength and should be issued only in spring and summer. Excessive fertilization can lead to malformed leaves, brown or yellow spots or edges.

IV. Methods of reproduction

Bird's nest fern can be sown and propagated by spores. Spore propagation has been widely used as a commercial batch production. Generally available ramet propagation. When the plant grows larger, there will often be small branches, which can be cut off slowly with a sharp knife before the new buds are born in late spring and early summer, and then planted separately. Bird's nest fern produces fewer branches and uses less common ion plants. Usually, the robust plant is cut into 4 pieces from the base at the end of spring, and the leaves are cut short by 1 hand, and the leaves are cut short by 1 pound and 1 pound, so that each piece has a partial leaf and rhizome, and then potted separately to become a new plant; after pot planting, it is preserved in a semi-shady place with a temperature above 20 and high air humidity, so as to heal the wound as soon as possible. The cultivation substrate in the basin is slightly moist, not too wet, otherwise it is easy to rot. After the new leaves are born, they can gradually return to their original shape.

Bird's nest fern is a kind of epiphytic fern, if raised indoors, bird's nest fern will be affixed to the plank, so indoor breeding bird's nest fern must be pruned regularly to avoid their wanton growth.

Breeding and breeding methods of bird's nest fern and matters needing attention

Bird's nest fern is a large shady foliage plant, which is very suitable for indoor maintenance. Whether hanging indoors or potted in the living room, conference room and study, each has its own flavor. Moreover, the bird's nest fern is also a very effective air freshener. Its large and dense leaves can absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and release a large amount of oxygen, making the airtight indoor air fresh, so it is very popular with flower friends. The following introduces the breeding methods and matters needing attention of bird's nest ferns.

Bird's nest fern culture method 1. Bird's nest fern culture: soil

The potted substrate of bird's nest fern can be mainly composed of rotten leaf soil or peat soil and vermiculite, mixed with a small amount of river sand, or mixed with fern root, broken bark, moss or broken brick particles and a small amount of humic soil. In addition, a little crushed lime can be added to the basin every spring, which is beneficial to the growth and development of its parasperm.

2. Bird nest fern culture: moisture

Bird's nest fern should be fully watered in the growing season, especially in summer, in addition to the cultivation substrate should be often watered, the leaf surface must be washed 2 to 3 times a day, and the surrounding ground should be sprinkled to humidify the local environment to maintain a high air humidity. it can not only increase the gloss of the leaf surface, but also very beneficial to the germination of spore leaves.

3. Bird nest fern culture: planting potted bird nest fern soil is the best in peat soil or rotten leaf soil. The growth depends on planting nest fern for 2-3 years, the plant shape is open, and the root is full of pot rack, which can be protruded from the basin, and some residual roots and spore leaves withered at the base can be removed, taken out in the plant and replanted in the pot respectively. When changing the basin in spring, rotten leaf soil and moss should be added to the basin, and a little gravel should be added. 4. Bird nest fern culture: temperature and light: the suitable temperature for the growth of bird nest fern is 22-27 ℃. Shade should be carried out in summer, or placed in a sparse place under a big tree to avoid strong direct sunlight, which is beneficial to growth and make the leaves glossy. Put it in a brightly lit place indoors, not in the dark for a long time. It should be moved into the greenhouse in winter and the temperature should be kept above 16 ℃ so that it can continue to grow, but the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. 5. Bird's nest fern culture: watering and fertilization

Under the condition of high temperature and humidity in summer, the vigorous growth of new leaves needs more water spraying, fully spraying the leaf surface and maintaining a higher air temperature, which is beneficial to spore germination. With the increase of the leaves, the leaves are often covered with the culture soil in the basin, and the pot must be watered thoroughly in order to avoid the dry and curl of the leaves caused by the lack of water.

Propagation method of bird's nest fern 1. Spore propagation

A, sowing spores

In spring, mix the fine sand and humus soil well, disinfect at high temperature, put it into the sowing basin and flatten it, spread the mature spores evenly on the basin soil, then soak the basin soil in shallow water, make the basin soil fully moist, cover the glass to moisturize, and place it in a warm and cool place. After 7 to 10 days, the spores can germinate. After about 1 month, green primary leaves will grow. After 3 months, several true leaves will grow. Before it can be cultivated in the pot.

B, ramet

Generally carried out in the middle and last ten days of April, choose the robust plant, cut its rhizome together with leaves and root clusters into several pieces, or cut off the side plants, cut off the leaf 1max 2, respectively on the basin, covered with a small amount of rotten leaf soil, to create a humid, ventilated, well-drained small environment, the environmental temperature is controlled at about 25 ℃, and the survival rate is high, we should pay attention to the basin soil not too wet, so as not to cause rotten roots. Ramet is the most effective breeding method for flower lovers.

C. Tissue culture

Productive mass propagation, its terminal short stem, young leaves or spores can be used as explants for tissue culture and rapid propagation, and a large number of commercial seedlings of uniform specification can be cultivated in a short time.

2. Ramet propagation

When the plant grows larger, there will often be small branches, which can be cut off slowly with a sharp knife before the new buds are born in late spring and early summer, and then planted separately. Bird's nest fern produces fewer branches and less common ion-splitting methods. Usually, the robust plant is cut into 4 pieces from the base at the end of spring, and the leaves are cut short by 3-1 stroke 2, so that each piece has part of the leaves and rhizome, and then potted into a new plant; after pot planting, the plant is maintained in a semi-shady place with a temperature above 20 degrees and high air humidity, so as to heal the wound as soon as possible. The cultivation substrate in the basin is slightly moist, not too wet, otherwise it is easy to rot. After the new leaves are born, they can gradually return to their original shape.

Notes on bird's nest fern

1. Bird's nest fern is suitable to grow in peat soil or rotten leaf soil, and the suitable temperature for bird's nest fern growth is 22 ~ 27 degrees Celsius.

2. Under the condition of high temperature and humidity in summer, the growth of new leaves needs more water, and maintaining the humidity of the air is beneficial to the germination of spores.

3. The breeding of bird's nest fern does not need too much sunshine, just the right amount.

4. The growing season of bird's nest fern should be fully watered, and the basin soil should be kept moist when the room temperature is low in winter.

The efficacy and function of bird's nest fern the breeding method of bird's nest fern

Bird's nest fern is a new type of foliage plant, which is cultivated indoors with tropical atmosphere. Today, I will talk to you about the efficacy and function of bird's nest fern and the knowledge of its breeding methods.

The efficacy and function of bird's nest fern

1. Ornamental value

Pteridophytes are very popular among foliage plants in recent years. It is popular in the world to make large-scale hanging or wall-hanging potted plants for hanging decoration in spacious halls, or to attach single clumps of bird's nest ferns to different height parts of a section of tree trunks to form a sturdy appearance of ancient trees. placed in the hall or corridor like a line of ancient trees. Decorated with bird's nest ferns, the interior has a unique tropical scenery, but also can add some vivid natural wild interest. It gives people great visual enjoyment and has a strong ornamental value.

2. Decorate the home

Bird's nest fern is a large shady foliage plant with plump plant type, green and bright leaves, chic and generous, rich game, which is favored by people. Hanging indoors also has a special tropical flavor, planted under tropical garden trees or rockery rocks, can add wild interest, potted small plants are used to decorate bright living rooms, conference rooms and studies, bedrooms, but also appear small and exquisite, dignified and beautiful.

3. Purify the air

It is said that the bird's nest fern in the house may release more oxygen than other plants and cannot smoke, but it can absorb harmful gases such as nicotine in the smoke and purify the air to a certain extent.

4. Market value

Bird's nest fern leaves are green and bright, green and bright, natural and generous, rich in game, is commonly used in flower arrangement, and the leaves of bird's nest ferns are also excellent flowers.

5. Edible and medicinal value

The role of bird's nest fern is mainly reflected in the use and potted plants. Bird's nest fern can be used as a potted and planted plant, and its leaves are excellent flowers, but bird's nest fern also has edible and medicinal value. The curly tender leaves of bird's nest fern can be fried, cooked or made into kimchi. The nature of bird's nest fern is slightly bitter and can be used for heat-clearing and detoxification.

Breeding methods of bird's nest fern

Bird's nest fern is usually propagated by spore sowing and plant division. In March or July to August, the mature spores are scraped from the leaves (the spores of bird nest ferns can be seen in the picture), mixed with 2 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of fine sand, put into a small flowerpot to smooth and compact, after disinfection, sow the spores in shallow water, spread the spores evenly, and cover them with slides to moisturize. Under 24 ℃ light for 12 hours a day, the light intensity 3000Lx, about 6-8 days after spore germination, 2 months later, the prothallus and archegonia mature, at this time pay attention to spray water to create conditions for fertilization. A large number of young sporophytes will be produced soon and can be transplanted when 3-4 leaves are grown.

Because there are few branches in the propagation of bird's nest fern, the method of dividing ion plants can not be used. Ramet propagation is simple and easy, but it is easy to damage the plant shape and recover slowly. The robust plant can be cut into 4 pieces from the basal part in the middle and last ten days of April, and the leaves can be cut short by 1, 3, 1 and 2, so that each piece has partial leaves and rhizomes, and can be potted separately to become a new plant. After pot planting, put it in a place with a temperature above 20 ℃, semi-overcast and high air humidity to make the wound heal as soon as possible. The cultivation material in the basin is slightly moist, not too wet, otherwise it is easy to rot, and the original shape can be gradually restored after the new leaves grow out.
