Culture methods and matters needing attention for rooting on the ground

Rooting is a kind of foliage plant, its leaves are very large, thick and juicy, and it has a characteristic that the leaves are covered with small leaf buds, which is as eye-catching as adding a layer of lace. Then Shuai Shuai will talk about the breeding methods and matters needing attention for rooting.

I. Propagation methods

Cutting, adventitious buds and sowing are usually used for rooting, and the best season for propagation is from May to June. The leaves are placed on the sand bed to maintain humidity, and plantlets can grow after 1 week. After growing, they can be cut off and moved into the basin, and the branches will be cut to 10 cm long. After slightly drying, the top branches will be inserted into the sand bed, rooting will begin after 1 week, and potted plants can be planted after 2 weeks. The propagation of adventitious buds is more convenient, and the larger adventitious buds growing on the leaf margin can be peeled off and put on the basin directly.

II. Pruning requirements

When potted, 3 parts of rotten leaf soil and 1 part of sandy soil can be mixed into a substrate, and the seedlings in the new pot should be coring to promote the growth of their branches and remove the top advantage. for the older plants, those with low ornamental value should be cut off and cut short to let the plants grow new branches and change the pots every spring.

III. Water and fertilizer requirements

Usually watering should wait until it is thoroughly dry before watering, do not worry about drying to death, do not fertilize too frequently, otherwise the plant will grow madly, and the plant may rot because the concentration of fertilizer applied is too high, fertilizing 1-2 times a month in the growing season, it should be slightly shaded in midsummer, except in other seasons in summer, otherwise the color of the leaf edge will disappear, and less watering should be done after autumn. Plants can grow normally if they are kept above 0 degrees at room temperature in winter, and the basin soil should be kept moist.

IV. Disease and pest control

Rooting is mainly caused by gray mold, powdery mildew and other diseases and insect pests, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of methyl topiramate wettable powder. Insect pests are harmful to scale insects and aphids and are sprayed with 1000 times of 40% dimethoate EC.

The above are the breeding methods and matters needing attention for rooting on the ground. the main purpose of rooting is to pay attention to watering, because it can be said to be semi-succulent, and its leaves are thick and watery, so don't water too much, so don't worry that it will die. in addition, this plant is very characteristic, its leaves have a layer of lace-like leaflet buds, so breeding at home is also an eye-catching spot!
