How to cultivate reticulate grass? Maintenance skills of exploding pots of reticulate grass

Reticulate grass is the preferred variety of small potted plants, its leaves are light and elegant, with visible fine lines on the leaves, and rich in color. If planting a pot can bring you visual enjoyment, here are the maintenance skills of it. If you like it, you can refer to planting.

1. Create a good growth environment

Reticulate grass likes the hot and humid environment, but should not be exposed to the sun, and the growth environment should be ventilated and breathable, not too wet, so as not to rot the roots and leaves, the grass is delicate, the root system is damaged and wilts to death, we should also pay attention to it. The amount of watering needs to be controlled properly, once every day, wet the surface, the hot weather transpiration is rising, can be watered once in the morning and evening, pay attention to moderation.

2. If you want to grow well, you need fertilizer.

If you want to look good, you also need to feed fertilizer. The use of safe and efficient nutrient solution can make the grass grow luxuriantly and rapidly, and it can also be bright and rich in color without damaging the roots. Fertilize once every half a month to increase nutrients, conducive to plant absorption, so that plants grow better.

3. Careful nursing is very important.

If you find wilting parts of dry yellow leaves, clean them up in time, and observe whether worms grow or not, daily care is very important, to observe the changes of reticulate grass, so that the growing reticulate grass will look good.

4. Methods of reproduction

(1) ramet: when the stem and leaf growth is relatively dense, many stolon nodes have grown adventitious roots, as long as the stolon is more than 10 cm, it can be cut off with roots, can be directly potted, and then restored in the semi-shade for 1-2 weeks and then transferred to normal maintenance.

(2) cutting: under the condition of suitable temperature, the grass can be propagated in the whole year, and the cutting effect is the best when the temperature is slightly higher from May to September. Cut cuttings from the stolons growing out of the basin, about 10 cm long, generally need to have 3-4 stem nodes, remove the lower leaves, slightly dry and insert into the sand bed. If the soil temperature is 24-30 ℃, it can take root 7-14 days after planting. If the temperature is too low, it is difficult for cuttings to take root. Generally, it can be transplanted into the pot 1 month after insertion.

(3) tissue culture: the leaves and stem tips were often used as explants. After disinfection and sterilization, the leaves were cut into 8-10 mm long and inoculated on MS medium supplemented with 2 mg / L 6-benzylaminoadenine, 2 mg / L naphthylacetic acid and 2min 4ml mg / 1. The leaves were bent after 30 days, and clustered buds appeared after 20 days.

Reticulate grass is often liked by people because of its small and exquisite appearance, and its planting method is simple. It only needs to pay attention to water and fertilizer management and pest control. The above are detailed cultivation and maintenance skills, you can use for reference.

Cultivation and maintenance of reticulate grass (figure)

Reticulate grass, also known as Feidao flower, is a perennial herbaceous foliage plant of the family Euphorbiaceae.

The reticulate grass plant is small, creeping, the stem is quadrangular, covered with white coarse short hairs. Leaves opposite Rose, oval to oval, apex slightly pointed, 3mur15 cm long and 2mur8 cm wide; leaves emerald green, with white or red reticulate veins on the leaf surface, this special reticulate vein is the main ornamental part of reticulate grass. At present, there are three main horticultural varieties:

White reticulate grass: with silver veins and smaller leaves.

Crimson reticulate grass: with beautiful red reticular veins.

Leaflet white reticulate grass: a dwarf variety of white reticulate grass.

Reticulated grasslands are found in the dry tropical rain forests of Central America, Peru and South America. Its sex likes high temperature, high heat and semi-shady environment, and is afraid of cold, drought, dryness and stagnant water. It is very sensitive to temperature, the suitable temperature for growth is 18 ℃ 25 ℃, the optimum growth temperature is 20 ℃, and the overwintering temperature is 13 ℃.

Reticulate grass is easy to propagate, and cuttings, striping and ramet methods can be used. All breeding methods should be carried out in spring and autumn. Cuttings, that is, cutting with top branches 5Mel 8cm (3Mel 4 nodes), remove the lower leaves and place them on a loose bed made of clean river sand or rotten leaf soil and coarse sand (the substrate is best used after disinfection) to keep the soil moist. When the temperature is about 25 ℃, it can take root in about two weeks, then cut off the branches of the mother plant and bury it in the soil, and then take root on the stem node for about a month, and then cut off the mother plant and plant. Ramet, that is, when changing the basin, the plant growing in the basin will be divided into parts, so that the separated part has roots, and then it can be put on the basin.

The potted reticulate grass can be mixed with peat soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand. The planting basin should not be too large, the shallow basin is better, and the basin bottom should be covered with a good drainage layer. During the growth period, dilute liquid fertilizer was applied every 2 weeks. When applying fertilizer, avoid fertilizer contact with leaves and cause fertilizer damage. Its growth is exuberant from spring to autumn, should keep the basin soil moist, and often spray water to the leaves, so that it would rather be wet than dry, do not wait for the basin soil to dry before watering, but do not cause stagnant water in the basin; reduce the amount of water in winter to avoid spraying water to the leaves, so as not to cause leaves to rot and fall off. The leaves of reticulate grass are thin and delicate and cannot accept strong sunlight directly. When planting indoors, it is better to put them in a place with bright scattered light. When the light is too strong, the plant grows slowly and the dwarf leaves curl and lose their original color, which will reduce the ornamental value. In winter, it is necessary to keep the temperature not lower than 13 ℃, otherwise it is easy to die from freezing; during this period, you should pay special attention to the water temperature, do not use water with too low temperature, keep the basin soil moist, and cover it with plastic bags to facilitate overwintering. In addition, root rot sometimes occurs in reticulate grass under low temperature or humid conditions. If this happens, 1000 topiramate or carbendazim should be used in time.

Reticulate grass plants are short, creeping, petite leaves with white or red fine reticulation, forming a very beautiful pattern, for a new generation of small indoor shady foliage plants. It is very popular in the West, and its introduction and cultivation in China is also very popular. Indoor potted planting can be used to decorate the study, coffee table, windowsill and other places, can also be used for hanging decorative cultivation. How to raise hydroponic reticulate grass, four kinds of maintenance items

How to raise hydroponic reticulate grass, first of all, we should know the requirements of hydroponic reticulate grass, such as water quality, ambient temperature and light.

How to cultivate hydroponic reticulate grass 1. Water quality requirements

Reticulate grass does not have high requirements for hydroponic water quality, as long as the water used does not give rise to smelly insects, ordinary tap water can be used for direct hydroponic culture. Change the water about 3-4 days in summer, half of the basin at a time, and 1/3 at a time in winter.

2. Lighting requirements

Reticulate grass is like medium intensity of light, but avoid strong direct sunlight, but also strong shade tolerance, hydroponic reticulate grass is recommended to be placed in a bright window for maintenance.

3. Ambient temperature control

Reticulate grass likes a warm environment. The suitable temperature for the growth of reticulated grass is 18 Mel 25 degrees Celsius. The cold tolerance of reticulated grass is poor. If the temperature is lower than 12 degrees Celsius, the leaves will suffer cold damage, and about 8 degrees Celsius may die.

4. Pest control

Hydroponic reticulated grass will also use diseases and insect pests, the more common diseases of reticulated grass are anthracnose, insect pests are aphids, general insect pests can be controlled by spraying pesticides.

Of course, if in low temperature or humid conditions, reticulate grass will sometimes occur root rot, as long as the disease is found, flower friends should promptly use 1000 thiophanate or carbendazim control.
