How to plant Parthenocissus?

Parthenocissus, also known as Parthenocissus, Dijin, fake grapevines, red silk grass, iron railings, etc., are perennial large deciduous woody vines of the grape family. Its shape is similar to that of wild grapevines and has been widely used in greening. In particular, it plays an important role in three-dimensional greening. Let's take a look at how to plant Parthenocissus.

The growth habit of Parthenocissus

Parthenocissus has strong adaptability and likes shady and humid environment, but it is not afraid of strong light, cold, drought, barren and wide climate adaptability. it can also maintain semi-evergreen or evergreen in winter south of warm temperate zone. Resistant to pruning, afraid of stagnant water, lax requirements on the soil, wet environment or sunny place, can thrive, but grow best in wet and fertile soil. It has strong resistance to harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride, and has the ability to absorb dust in the air.

The breeding method of Parthenocissus

1. Sowing method: the harvested seeds are rubbed to remove the peel and pulp, washed and dried and stored at low temperature in wet sand for a winter. Heat preservation and moisturizing are beneficial to sprouting. The seeds can be sowed in the early and middle of March of the next year, covered with film, and seedlings can emerge in early May. Nursery after 1-2 years of culture.

2, cutting method: cut the stem vine 20cm to 30cm in early spring and insert it into the open field seedbed, irrigate it and keep it moist, so that the vine can be pulled out and survive soon. Can also be used in summer and autumn with twigs with leaves cuttings, shade watering maintenance, can also quickly produce new branches, the survival rate is higher. The hardwood cuttings were carried out from March to April. The hardwood was cut into 10-15 cm sections and inserted into the soil, watered thoroughly and kept moist. Softwood cuttings were used to extract new branches of the same year and carried out in summer.

3. Striping method: Parthenocissus can be propagated by wavy striping method, which can be propagated in wet and cloudless weather in rainy season, and the survival rate is high. It can be separated and transplanted in autumn and planted the next year.

How to plant Parthenocissus?

1. Seed treatment: the berries were harvested immediately when the berries were ripe in September, washed and dried, disinfected the surface with 0.05% carbendazim solution, drained and stored in wet sand. In the first ten days of March of the following year, soak the seeds in 45 ℃ warm water for two days, change water twice a day, then mix well with wet sand seeds at 2:1, place them in a place where the sun is sheltered from the wind, cover with straw bags, and often spray fine water to keep moist. After about 20 days, the seeds can be sown when 20% of the seeds are exposed.

2. Sowing method: before sowing Parthenocissus seeds, the seeding bed was leveled, watered thoroughly, the seeds and sand were sown on the bed together, the sowing amount was 100 grams per square meter, covered with 1 cm thick humus soil under the forest, and covered with a small arch sheet. covered with polyethylene plastic film.

3. Seedling management: after the cotyledons of Parthenocissus are unearthed, the film should be covered during the day and night on sunny days and covered all day on rainy days, so as to improve the soil temperature, promote the emergence of seedlings neatly, and prevent the harm of beetles. In addition, always sprinkle water to keep the soil moist.

4. Transplanting management: after spreading three true leaves of Parthenocissus parthenocissus, choose cloudy days or after 03:00 in the afternoon, transplant at a density of 1 × 1 foot. Immediately after planting, pour clear fecal water (1:8) once. Do not accumulate water for too long in the rainy season. Two months later, the vine is generally more than 60 centimeters long, and the heart can be picked for the first time to prevent the vines from winding around each other and to make the vines sturdy. Pick the heart once a month, combined with supplementary care. Take the above measures, to the deciduous period, the average thickness of rattan seedlings can reach more than 0.5 cm, can be planted out of the nursery.

5. Rational fertilization: Parthenocissus can apply liquid fertilizer for 2 or 3 times during the growing period, and often hoe weeds and loosen the soil to avoid being submerged by grass and promote its healthy growth. For fear of waterlogging, we should pay attention to prevent the accumulation of water in the soil. Resistant to pruning, in the process of growth, the branches and vines of doors and windows can be trimmed according to conditions, so as to keep them clean, beautiful and convenient.

Conclusion: the planting methods and matters needing attention of Parthenocissus are said to be here, but we should pay attention to that Parthenocissus grows faster and climbs taller, if planted in places such as home balconies, in order to avoid the impact of climbing to the neighbor's house, it's best to say hello to the neighbor.
