The culture method of dancing grass

Dance grass is the only plant in nature that can respond to sound, also known as love grass, amorous grass, courtship grass, etc., is an upright small shrub of Leguminosae. The reason for its dance is mainly related to temperature, sunlight and sound induction under a certain rhythm, rhythm and intensity. It is of high ornamental value and has been widely used in the horticultural and ornamental industry. Let's take a look at the breeding methods of dance grass.

Growth habits of Dance Grass

Dancing grass likes sunshine and warm and humid environment, resistant to drought and barren soil. Dance grass is a very sensitive plant to sound waves of a certain frequency and intensity, which is also related to temperature and sunlight. When the temperature is above 24 ℃, on a sunny day, the leaflets will cross, kiss and bounce. The two leaves can rotate by up to 180 degrees and then bounce back. When the temperature is 28: 34 ℃ or in a muggy sunny day or after rain, throughout the whole pearl, dozens of pairs of leaves sometimes hug like lovers, sometimes dance, dazzling, giving people a fresh, wonderful and mysterious feeling. When night falls, stick the leaves on the branches and snuggle up to each other. It is really a rare flower.

The breeding method of Dance Grass

1. Sowing: dancing grass is usually sown. Because there is a layer of wax on the surface of the seed, it is difficult for water to infiltrate, and there are substances on the surface of the seed coat that inhibit germination. To accelerate germination, wipe off the wax with dry fine sand, then soak it in 38-40 ℃ warm water to gradually pick out the bulging seeds and sow them. It can blossom in the same year when sowing from March to May, and can blossom in the first half of next year after sowing at the end of May.

2. Cutting: the cuttage propagation of dancing grass can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn, and it can also be carried out indoors or in greenhouse in winter. Cut the sturdy branches of the same year as cuttings, cut them into 5 cm long segments, insert them into fine sand basins, insert them into 2 parts of ear length, and pour water through them after insertion. Insert the basin in a cool and ventilated place, cover the glass plate and often spray water to moisturize. It can take root after 10 days, and after a few days, go to cover and stop squatting seedlings for 3 days, and then it can be planted in the basin.

The culture method of dancing grass

1. Move the basin: when the dancing grass seedlings grow to nearly an inch, you need to move the pot to plant. When moving the pot, be careful not to hurt the fibrous root of the dance grass. When you move the seedling out, dig a pit of appropriate width and depth in the center of the flowerpot, let its root system fully expand, cover the culture medium under light pressure, and then pour the right amount of water.

2. Lighting: yellow rust often occurs when the dancing grass lacks light, and the symptom is that strips of yellow spots appear on the leaves and stems, making the plant slender, thin and easy to invert, so the lighting time should be increased. Turn the flowerpot as often as possible so that the branches and leaves of the plant are exposed to sunlight at all angles.

3. Watering: dance grass is watered with a dry surface culture medium, but the interior is still moist. Watering time is as early as possible in the morning to avoid the sun. The water had better be placed for 4-6 minutes to remove chlorine from the tap water. It is best to use a thin-eyed pot when watering, gradually moving closer to the plant from far away from the plant.

4. Fertilization: the first fertilization should be carried out when the dancing grass grows for more than one month, and the second fertilization is needed when the plant grows to 2-3 months and the flowering stage of the dance grass. When the temperature rises to 7: 10 ℃, it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management and increase the application of available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as topdressing.

5. Diseases and insect pests: dancing grass has few insect pests, but there are many diseases, especially in vegetable stubble and other stubble, such as powdery mildew, anthracnose, leaf spot, root rot and blight, etc. pests include land tigers, powdery mildew, thrips, mites, armyworm and so on.
