Hydroponic culture method of Guanyinlian in Araceae

Araceae Guanyinlian, also known as black leaf taro, tortoise shell Guanyinlian, black leaf Guanyinlian, etc., native to tropical Asia, underground parts with fleshy tubers, and easy to tiller to form tufted plants, flowers for flame inflorescences, leaves for arrow-shaped shield-shaped, drawn from the end of the stem, like the warm, moist, semi-shady growth environment, let's take a look at the hydroponic culture method of Guanyin lotus of Araceae.

Can Guanyin lotus of Araceae be cultured in water?

Araceae Guanyin lotus can be hydroponically cultivated. The plants of Araceae are hydrophilic, not only hydroponic, but also quite easy to cultivate, with little technical content. After pulling it out of the soil and washing the roots, the roots will be immersed in water in a few days. Guanyinlian likes a semi-shaded environment and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.

Hydroponic culture method of Guanyinlian in Araceae

1. Select the Guanyin lotus that needs to be hydroponically cultivated, then rinse the roots and remember to rinse thoroughly.

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

3. For the maintenance of Guanyin lotus after hydroponics, the frequency of changing water should be increased in summer, 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 can not pass the root system of Guanyinlian. The root of Guanyinlian needs to breathe oxygen, so it can not be completely submerged, and the inner wall of the container should be cleaned frequently to avoid breeding moss.

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

6. It is necessary to add nutrient solution to hydroponic Guanyinlian regularly, which is now available in the flower market. At the beginning of aquaculture, do not add nutrient solution before growing new roots.

Attention to the Culture of Guanyinlian of Araceae

1. Disease: Botrytis cinerea is harmful to the common diseases of Guanyin lotus of Tiannanaceae. at the initial stage of the disease, the disease was sprayed with 59% topjin 1000 times solution. Under the condition of high temperature and high humidity, stem rot is easy to occur, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of methyl topiramate wettable powder.

2. Insect pests: common insect pests in Araceae Guanyinlian have aphids contact to spread mosaic disease, which are sprayed with 1000 times omethoate EC. In addition, it is harmful to Spodoptera litura and Pieris rapae, which is sprayed with 3000 times of deworming essential oil.

How to achieve high yield in Tiannanxing planting? High-yielding planting techniques of Tiannanxing

[FAQ] how to achieve high yield in planting Tiannanxing?

[expert answer] Tiannanxing is a perennial herb of Araceae, which is treated with bulbous tubers and has the effects of dispelling wind and resolving phlegm, relieving spasm, relieving clonus, dispersing knot and detumescence, and so on. It has a very good therapeutic effect on stroke, hemiplegia, mouth and eye deviation, phlegm salivation on the upper wall, tetanus, limb ankylosis, convulsions and other diseases, so it is favored by the market. In order to improve the economic benefit of planting Artemisia angustifolia, it is the key to realize the high-yield planting. The high-yield planting techniques of Tiannanxing are introduced as follows:

Picture: planting of Tiannanxing

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

After selecting the land, turn the soil 20-25 cm deep in autumn, apply rotten stable manure or compost 3000-5000 kg per mu combined with land preparation, turn it into the soil as base fertilizer, and then shallow ploughing once before planting, then fine rake flat into a high or flat border with a width of 1.2m, open drainage ditches around, the border surface is tortoise back shape, transplant in the first ten days of April-May in spring, when the seedlings are 6-9 cm high, choose cloudy days. The seedlings with strong growth, with a little soil mass, were transplanted into the field according to the row spacing of 20 cm × 15 cm, and watered with fixed root water once after planting to facilitate survival.

II. Drainage and irrigation

Pay attention to watering during the growth period, often keep the soil moist, the principle is frequently watering, watering small water, not flooding, rainy season should pay attention to drainage, strictly prevent stagnant water, so as to avoid tuber rot.

Third, weeding and topdressing

Seedling height 6-9 cm, the first time to loosen soil and weed, should be shallow rather than deep, as long as rake loose topsoil, the second time in mid-late June, loose soil can be properly deepened, and combined with topdressing 1 time, topdressing 10 kg of urine per mu, the third time in late July is the period of exuberant growth of Tiannanxing, combined with weeding and loosening soil, 15 kg urea per mu, the fourth time in late August, combined with soil loosening. Apply urea 10-20 thousand pairs of water per mu, plus appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to ensure yield increase.

Fourth, pick the Buddha's flame bud

It is commonly known as "braiding". From May to June, the bud is picked along with it to reduce nutrient consumption and promote tuber growth, such as planting in the courtyard without picking inflorescences, and sell them as cut flowers when they grow up.

5. Selection and breeding of improved varieties

Select medium-sized tubers during harvest, hang them in a ventilated place until the skin is slightly dry, store in the cellar with a depth of 70 cm, depending on the number of seeds planted, put a layer of fine sand at the bottom of the cellar, and then plant it one layer at a time below the ground, then cover it with a layer of thick sand, and keep the temperature in the cellar about 5 ℃. Take it out before planting in the second year, and then select the non-speckled, disease-free, rotten-skinned and round tubers as seeds, and it is very important to select the varieties used in medicine according to the local climatic conditions.

VI. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

1. Virus disease: virus disease, also known as leaf shrinkage disease, the pathogen is unknown, began to occur in May, the leaves showed mosaic or curl wrinkle, so that its growth weakened, there is no effective chemical control, should be based on prevention, can be rotated with wheat and corn, select disease-free plants and leave seeds.

two。 Root rot: generally occurred in May-October, the injured plant tuber rotted, the leaves withered, spread very fast, water was discharged from the ground in the rainy season, well water was poured in time after the rain in hot summer to reduce the ground temperature, and 1000 times liquid carbendazim was sprayed to prevent it in summer. the diseased plants were dug up and burned in time, and the holes were disinfected with quicklime.

3. Red spider: sucking juice on the back of the leaf yellowes the leaf and affects its growth. When it occurs between May and June, it can be sprayed with 1500 times of dimethoate emulsion.

4. Red diamondback moth: the larva harms the leaves and bites into gaps or holes. When the disease is serious from July to August, the leaves can be eaten up, and when the larvae are young, they can be sprayed with 90% trichlorfon 800 times solution to kill.

VII. Harvest and processing

"the Autumn Equinox" to "Cold Dew" ask about the harvest, the method of harvesting and processing is similar to that of Pinellia ternata. Dig out the tuber, remove the stems, leaves, fibrous roots and soil, then rub it in a sack or pocket, or peel it with a peeling machine, then pour it out, float the broken skin with clean water, scrape off the unpeeled skin with a bamboo knife or glass, put it into a fumigation pit and smoke it with sulfur for 6-8 hours, dry it and turn white. Wear gloves when processing, strictly prevent poisoning. If the skin is red and swollen, it can be scrubbed and detoxified with licorice water.
