Introduction of Water Culture method and soil Culture method of Dishui Guanyin

Dishui Guanyin, also known as Dishui lotus, bergamot lotus, it has a beautiful connotation, the page is large but not public, implicit and low-key. Because it blossoms like Guanyin and drips down from the tip of the leaf when there is plenty of water, it has the reputation of dripping Guanyin, which is often used to decorate the interior. Although it has a good name and inner self-cultivation, we do not know much about the breeding methods of Dishui Guanyin. Here, the editor will introduce some methods of Dishui Guanyin culture to you.

The breeding method of Dishui Guanyin

The main propagation methods of Dishui Guanyin are ramet, sowing and cutting propagation, which are introduced in detail as follows.

1. Ramet sowing

Every summer and autumn, Amorphophallus tubers will sprout small sea taro with leaves, which can be combined with turning the basin and changing the soil for ramet. When the fruit is ripe in autumn, the orange seeds are harvested, sown with picking, or dried and stored, and sown after the following spring.

2. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is for perennial old plants, can be combined with plant renewal, from the base of the plant about 5 cm from the unearthed surface truncated, stem cutting propagation. Cutting dry in the cuttage propagation of dripping Guanyin has the following advantages:

① plants lose the advantage of apical growth, which makes the base of nutrients accumulate and promote a large number of roots and stem bases to sprout, which is conducive to the rate and quantity of reproduction.

The old stem intercepted by ② can be cut into branches about 15 cm in length and placed in shade for half a day and then inserted into sandy loam soil for cultivation. Especially in the growing section at the top, all the molded leaves are cut off and put on the pot directly, and the cutting and cultivation are carried out at the same time. After two months of cultivation, it becomes a potted plant with strong leaves, compact branches, and strong and sturdy shape, which is quite elegant in the room. Amorphophallus cuttings are suitable for cutting in spring, summer and autumn. During the cutting period, the moisture of the substrate (6 parts of sand and 4 parts of ∶ garden soil) should be maintained, and the air humidity should be increased, so that many sturdy roots can grow in about 10 days. During the period of old plant cultivation, due to the shady and humid environment or spraying water on the leaf surface every morning and evening in summer and autumn, a few new plants occasionally sprouted on the old stem (especially on the stem base left after truncation treatment), and attached to many air roots. it can be planted in a pot from the junction between the daughter plant and the mother plant.

The soil cultivation method of Dishui Guanyin

1. Timely planting: transplant the seedlings into a flowerpot from April to May, pour enough water and place the flowerpot in the shade for about a week. Light liquid fertilizer was applied once after 2-3 days. Amorphophallus cultivation is relatively extensive, potted with rotten leaf soil, peat soil or fine sandy soil. When the soil is loose, fertile and the base fertilizer is sufficient, the leaves are hypertrophic and emerald-green.

2. Fertilizer and water management: in the growing season from April to October, liquid fertilizer must be applied once a week, especially the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be increased. Only in this way can the leaves grow bigger. When lack of fertilizer, the leaves are small and yellow. Amorphophallus prefers warm, humid and semi-overcast environment. It needs more watering from April to November and grows rapidly above 25 ℃. The dry environment is very unfavorable to its growth. In cultivation, more water should be sprayed around it to increase air humidity. In the growing season of sea taro, it is better to be wet than dry, while during the dormant period in winter, watering should be controlled as far as possible and can survive the winter safely when moved indoors.

3. Sunshine: shade is needed from June to October to cover 50-70% of the sun. Moist, semi-shaded and sufficient fertilizer, the leaves can grow the original characteristics, large and stretched, the plant spectacular tall and straight. Although sea taro likes to grow in a semi-shady environment, it has been placed in living rooms and bedrooms for a long time. Due to lack of light, it has a great impact on plant life activities. The formation of many plant organs is directly related to light intensity. Lack of light or no light, plant internodes are particularly long, leaves are underdeveloped and small, lack of chlorophyll and show yellow.

4. Change the basin: after Ching Ming Festival in the second year, the sea taro was moved outdoors to accept the sun, carry out photosynthesis and quickly restore growth. Change the basin after 2 weeks. Wet the pot soil, remove the root soil, cut off the diseased root and rotten root, then put it on the basin, cover it with new soil mixed with base fertilizer, pour through the fixed root water and put it in a cool place for about 1 week, and pour light fertilizer water once after 2-3 days.

Now that we have learned about the soil culture method of Dishui Guanyin culture, let's take a look at the Dishui Guanyin aquaculture method and matters needing attention.

The aquaculture method of dripping Guanyin

Hydroponic dripping Guanyin can use the method of root washing to change soil plants into hydroponic plants. you should wash them carefully when washing roots, please do not damage tubers and roots, and cut off rotten roots and aged roots. If the tuber is rootless, it should be dried in a shady place for 2-3 days, and then immersed in water after the wound is dry. After 2-3 days, the new root can be seen.

In the initial stage of hydroponic culture, the water should be changed once every 2 to 3 days, and the suitable water depth is 2 beat 3 of the immersed root system. After 3 weeks, the new root can grow. After 3 weeks, the hydroponic plant is adapted to the hydroponic environment, and then changed to nutrient solution culture. After that, the nutrient solution will be changed once a month or so.

As a result of dripping Guanyin stem tissue is relatively loose, such as poor water quality is easy to be polluted and cause rotten roots and stems rot. Therefore, to keep the bottle water clean, we should also wash the mucus on the tubers and roots and cut off the rotten roots in combination with changing water or back culture solution.

Because dripping Guanyin grows very fast, it likes fertilizer. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is applied once or twice a month (in which the proportion of nitrogen can be appropriately higher). If a little ferrous sulfate can be applied, the leaves will be bigger and greener. Long-term lack of fertilizer is easy to cause the lower end of the stem of dripping Guanyin empty, affecting the ornamental value. When the temperature drops into the dormant period, it can be reduced or not fertilized.

If you want Dishui Guanyin to be small and exquisite indoors, just wait until its seedlings grow to about a foot, suitable for family display, and immediately spray the whole plant with 2% paclobutrazol solution, and then the stems and leaves are no more than 40 centimeters high. and the leaves are thick, the ornamental value is very high. Spraying once in half a year or so can play a good role in controlling height.

Matters needing attention in Guanyin Culture in Dishui

1. Temperature. Dishui Guanyin can only grow well in an environment of no less than 18 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, Dishui Guanyin will be dormant and stop growing.

2. Fertilization. Dishui Guanyin likes to be fat, so we have to fertilize Dishui Guanyin every month.

3. Watering. Dripping Guanyin should be watered more in summer, but not too much, dry and wet when appropriate, and there can be no stagnant water in the soil, otherwise the tubers will rot. Dormancy in winter, less watering, stop fertilizing.

4. Sunshine. Dripping Guanyin likes yin, don't let the sun shine directly. Let Dishui Guanyin become "wilted", mainly because there is not enough fertilizer, we should pay attention to topdressing.

5. Toxicity. The white juice in the stem of dripping Guanyin is poisonous, and the dripping water is also poisonous. accidentally touching or eating its juice will cause discomfort in the pharynx and mouth and a burning sensation in the stomach. Special attention should be paid to preventing young children from eating by mistake. But Dishui Guanyin is not a carcinogenic plant.

6. Dishui Guanyin likes warm, humid and slightly shaded environment, but the flowering period should be sunny, otherwise the Buddha flame will be green and affect the quality. It is necessary to ensure that the light lasts for 5 hours every day, otherwise the petiole will lengthen and affect the ornamental value. Dishui Guanyin is not cold-resistant and will be moved into the greenhouse in mid-October. In summer, under the condition of shade, we often spray water to cool and moisturize.

Is dripping Guanyin poisonous?

Yes, dripping Guanyin is poisonous. Planting is not recommended if there are children or pets at home. Dishui Guanyin is also known as "Dishui lotus" and bergamot. Other common names include trace taro, wolf venom (Guangdong), wild taro, mountain taro, big root taro, big insect taro, celestial taro, and so on. In Taiwan, calla lotus refers to sea taro.

Dishui Guanyin's scientific name sea taro, known in ancient times as "Guanyinlian" and "Mimosa", has the effect of removing dust from the air.

Experts remind flower friends that the white juice in the stem of dripping Guanyin is poisonous, and the dripping water is also poisonous. accidentally touching or eating its juice will cause discomfort in the pharynx and mouth and a burning sensation in the stomach. Special attention should be paid to preventing young children from eating by mistake. But Dishui Guanyin is not a carcinogenic plant.

It is precisely because dripping Guanyin is poisonous, so skin contact with its juice will cause itching or strong irritation, eye contact with juice can cause severe conjunctivitis and even blindness. If you eat stems and leaves by mistake, you will have symptoms of nausea and pain, and in serious cases, you will suffocate, resulting in heart paralysis and death. Therefore, exposure to Dishui Guanyin should be reduced as much as possible. Families with children had better not plant.

The breeding method of Dishui Guanyin:

(1) ramet, sowing and other methods can be used. Every summer and autumn, Amorphophallus tubers will sprout small sea taro with leaves, which can be combined with turning the basin and changing the soil for ramet. When the fruit is ripe in autumn, the orange seeds are harvested, sown with picking, or dried and stored, and sown after the following spring.

(2) Sea taro truncation is for perennial old plants, combined with plant renewal, stem cutting propagation can be carried out at the base of the plant about 5 cm away from the unearthed surface. The dry truncation of sea taro has two advantages: first, because the plant loses its apical growth advantage, the base of nutrients accumulates to promote the root and stem base to sprout a large number of buds, which is conducive to the speed and quantity of reproduction; second, the intercepted old stem can be cut into branches about 15 cm in length, which can be placed in shade for half a day and then inserted into sandy soil for cultivation. Especially in the growing section at the top, all the molded leaves are cut off and put on the pot directly, and the cutting and cultivation are carried out at the same time. After two months of cultivation, it becomes a potted plant with strong leaves, compact branches, and strong and sturdy shape, which is quite elegant in the room. Amorphophallus cuttings are suitable for cutting in spring, summer and autumn. During the cutting period, the moisture of the substrate (6 parts of sand and 4 parts of ∶ garden soil) should be maintained, and the air humidity should be increased, so that many sturdy roots can grow in about 7-10 days. During the period of old plant cultivation, due to the shady and humid environment or spraying water on the leaf surface every morning and evening in summer and autumn, a few new plants occasionally sprouted on the old stem (especially on the stem base left after truncation treatment), and attached to many air roots. it can be planted in a pot from the junction between the daughter plant and the mother plant.

The culture method of Dishui Guanyin:

Dishui Guanyin culture method: Dishui Guanyin is a very common domestic green potted plant, but because it is a tropical plant, it generally does not bloom in the north. But if the temperature at home and other conditions are suitable, it will also blossom.

It does not have high requirements for soil, but it grows best in sandy loam or humus loam with good drainage and organic matter. As Dishui Guanyin naturally likes a warm, humid and semi-overcast environment, it is not cold-resistant, so it is necessary to keep the basin soil moist during the growing season.

Now that it is summer, the flowerpot should be placed in a semi-shady ventilated place, and water should often be sprayed around and on the leaves to increase air humidity, lower leaf temperature and keep leaves clean.

As dripping Guanyin grows very fast, so in the growth process, fertilization must be appropriate, 1-2 times a month to apply nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium thin fertilizer is good, otherwise it is easy to cause the lower end of dripping Guanyin stem empty, affecting the ornamental value.

Dishui Guanyin is a flower that likes big water and big fat. Like full light, like loose rotten leaf soil or sandy loam. In addition to proper shading in hot summer, it is best to shine all day in other seasons. in addition, dripping Guanyin especially likes the climate of high temperature and humidity. In midsummer, water is sprayed on the leaves at noon every day to increase air humidity. Only in this way can the leaves of Dishui Guanyin be big and thick.

If the leaf is too shaded, the leaf will increase but become thinner, and the petiole will be brittle. The petiole is too long and broken because of lack of light. Dishui Guanyin should be placed in a brightly lit room, such as by a window, which requires at least 35 hours of light every day. As long as the light is bright, you can't expose yourself to the sun. Dripping Guanyin likes water. If the leaves become soft, they should be watered. Regular watering of ferrous sulfate can make the leaves greener, bigger and thicker.

Culture methods:

1. Temperature. Dishui Guanyin can only grow well in an environment of no less than 18 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 18 ℃, Dishui Guanyin will be dormant and stop growing.

2. Fertilization. Dishui Guanyin likes to be fat, so we have to fertilize Dishui Guanyin every month.

3. Watering. Dripping Guanyin should be watered more in summer, but not too much, dry and wet when appropriate, and there can be no stagnant water in the soil, otherwise the tubers will rot. Dormancy in winter, less watering, stop fertilizing.

4. Sunshine. Dripping Guanyin likes yin, don't let the sun shine directly. Let Dishui Guanyin become "wilted", mainly because there is not enough fertilizer, we should pay attention to topdressing.

In summer, the flowerpot should be placed in a ventilated place where there is no direct light, and water is often sprayed to the surroundings and leaves to increase the air humidity, reduce the leaf temperature and keep the leaves clean. But don't overwater, or the tubers will rot. Sometimes dry and sometimes wet, no stagnant water is the best.

Dishui Guanyin grows rapidly in summer and has a large demand for nutrients. Liquid fertilizer such as rotten bean cake water and compound fertilizer (like nitrogen fertilizer) should be applied alternately every 15-20 days, otherwise it is easy to cause empty baldness at the lower end of the stem and smaller yellow leaves or leaves. The application of 2% ferrous sulfate solution every 20 days or so can make the dripping Guanyin leaves bigger, thicker and green. When Dishui Guanyin is long enough for family display, the whole plant is sprayed with 2% paclobutrazol solution, the plant is not only small and exquisite, but also the leaves are thick, and the ornamental value is higher.

In winter, Dishui Guanyin likes a warm, humid and slightly shaded environment, but the flowering period should be sunny, otherwise the Buddha flame will be green and affect the quality. It is necessary to ensure that the light lasts for 5 hours every day, otherwise the petiole will lengthen and affect the ornamental value. Dishui Guanyin is not cold-resistant and will be moved into the greenhouse in mid-October. In summer, under the condition of shade, we often spray water to cool and moisturize. Dripping Guanyin likes moist and fertile soil, which is often called "big fat and big water". It should be watered during the growth period.

Aquaculture methods and matters needing attention of dripping Guanyin

Dishui Guanyin is rich in south-central, western to southeastern Yunnan and southern Sichuan. The following are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of dripping Guanyin, which are sorted out by us. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Aquaculture methods of dripping Guanyin:

1. Choose the dripping Guanyin that needs to be raised by water, then rinse the root, and remember to rinse thoroughly.

2. As the tissue of dripping Guanyin stem and root system is relatively loose, it requires higher water quality, so pay attention to keep the water clear and hygienic, otherwise the stem and root system are easy to rot.

3. In summer, the number of water changes should be increased, and the air humidity should not be less than 60%. Spray water frequently to create a relatively cool and humid environment. In winter, it is necessary to keep its leaf color dark green and spray warm water once a week.

4. The water level is less than 2pm and 3 of the root system, and the root of the plant needs to breathe oxygen, so it can not be completely immersed. Clean the inner wall of the container frequently to avoid moss.

5. The juice in the stems and leaves of dripping Guanyin is poisonous. Attention should be paid in maintenance and management that it should not be imported, and then the skin will cause itching and redness. It is safer to rinse with water in time or put on plastic gloves.

Matters needing attention in the culture of dripping Guanyin:

Hydroponic dripping Guanyin can use the method of root washing to change soil plants into hydroponic plants. you should wash them carefully when washing roots, please do not damage tubers and roots, and cut off rotten roots and aged roots. If the tuber is rootless, it should be dried in a shady place for 2-3 days, and then immersed in water after the wound is dry. After 2-3 days, the new root can be seen.

In the initial stage of hydroponic culture, the water should be changed once every 2 to 3 days, and the suitable water depth is 2 beat 3 of the immersed root system. After 3 weeks, the new root can grow. After 3 weeks, the hydroponic plant is adapted to the hydroponic environment, and then changed to nutrient solution culture. After that, the nutrient solution will be changed once a month or so.

When dripping Guanyin hydroponics, you must change the water in time to prevent the mucus from deteriorating the water quality. the temperature of the new water should be the same as or similar to that of the old water, and there should not be too big a temperature difference. Clean the mucus and moss on the dripping Guanyin root system every time you change the water. Rinse only with water, not by hand, otherwise it will damage the root system.

The water is changed once a week in summer, and in the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, although more oxygen is needed, the dissolved oxygen in the water is relatively sufficient in summer, which can be changed once every 10 to 12 days in this season, and once every 20 days in winter. If conditions permit, properly shortening the interval between changing water is beneficial to the growth of Dishui Guanyin.
