How does tortoise shell peony repair root how to cultivate? The method of maintenance of tortoise shell peony

Tortoiseshell peony is a plant belonging to rock peony of cactus family, which is a rare and endangered species (because of its rare relationship, a large number of wild tortoiseshell peony (commonly known as wild turtle) are excavated and sold, which is actually prohibited by law). Its appearance is strange, very like a stone carving handicraft, known as "live stone", flowering and beautiful. The following small series to talk about from the beginning of buying tortoise shell peony, teach you how to repair the roots of tortoise shell peony, cultivation, conservation management.

1. Root pruning of tortoise shell peony

1, the purchase time to choose early spring and early autumn, the reason is that the supply is sufficient, can choose a large range; turtle shell peony is about to enter the recovery growth stage, the probability of hanging is small; relatively cheap.

2. Conduct physical examination on tortoise shell peony when selecting. Rots, worms, and wounds (gouges, holes) are the main inspection points. Determine whether it will affect future growth, and determine whether it is fresh and viable.

3) Cleaning. After starting, first clean the exterior of the tortoise shell peony, mainly facing mud, withered and damaged warts.

4. After drying, thoroughly trim the roots of tortoise shell peony, and do it quickly, ruthlessly and accurately. Old wounds and rotting places should be cleaned up.

5. Spray disinfectant. Use two or more microbicides without adding water, powder on, because the wound formed after root pruning should avoid water.

6, the shade is dry. It takes a few weeks (at least a month) for the wound to heal completely. If it is rotten injury treatment, or continuous cold weather, continuous rainy days, but also have to delay the basin).

2. Dry soil planting, reasons for dry soil planting:

(1) After the tortoise shell peony is trimmed, let the root further heal in the small environment of the soil seed.

(2) Let the tortoise shell peony adapt to the new cultivation substrate, just like a person who has been locked up in a coal mine for a few days and cannot open his eyes immediately after being rescued.

After two weeks of dry planting, if it is smooth, it should be more than one and a half months away from the correct purchase time point. At this time, the climate should enter the growing season of tortoise shell peony (bought in early spring almost passed the cold spring, bought in early autumn almost passed the autumn tiger), watered, showered, watered and chose sunny days. After watering, the napkin on the soil was placed under the sun to dry. The role is to improve the soil microenvironment, conducive to rooting. After that, normal maintenance begins.

III. Daily maintenance

Soil: The soil selection of tortoise shell peony seed is recommended to be selected outside the vegetable garden soil and directly mixed with crushed rocks, which not only enhances the drainage performance of potted plants, but also decomposes soluble calcium, which is beneficial to the survival of plants.

Temperature: The temperature adaptability of tortoise shell peony planting is strong, similar to the survival of rock, which can adapt to high temperature and low temperature. The lowest temperature can withstand 5 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius.

Light: tortoise shell peony, the requirements for light are mainly soft, indoor incandescent light is hot, there is no big puzzle, secondly, it is necessary to ensure at least 8 hours of light per day, mainly according to the seasonal variability. It is recommended to place it directly in a place with sufficient indoor light, and supplement photosynthesis by means of astigmatism. During this period, it should be ensured that it is in a state of air circulation.

Moisture: turtle shell peony, for cactus family plants, watering can paralyze cactus maintenance details, mainly in the growing season irrigation sufficient moisture, under normal circumstances, should ensure that the soil humidity is about 30%, avoid long-term ponding in the flowerpot, should always pay attention to the humidity in the potted plant, ponding frequent easy to cause root rot.

Fertilization: tortoise shell peony, relying on water to supplement nutrition is not complete, and no fertilization will lead to plant growth environment, easy to wither and other phenomena, during the growth period, can be separated by half a month, apply a small amount of compound fertilizer, can be blended with water, containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium elements can be.

The above is the cultivation and maintenance process of tortoise shell peony. It is reported that at present, only a few botanical gardens, scientific research institutes and other units in China carry out garden introduction and cultivation of rock peony plants such as tortoise shell peony through normal legal channels, and there is no large-scale garden production and application, which also causes the market scarcity of this kind of plants and high market price. However, Xiao Bian should remind you flower lovers that it is the obligation of every succulent lover to love flowers, take them properly, exercise self-discipline, and protect wild endangered succulents through legal and reasonable means.
