Matters needing attention in planting Myrtle

First of all, Myrtle has certain requirements on temperature, because its origin is located in the tropics, it likes the environment of high temperature and humidity, and the surrounding temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, so in summer, we can move myrtle outdoors and put it in a semi-cloudy place. to enhance air convection and spray two or three times a day. In winter, we have to move it indoors and plant it in a warmer, brightly lit and well ventilated place. if we can't move it indoors, we can cover the plants with a film, but we have to uncover the film at noon to improve ventilation.

In addition, Myrtle has to keep up with its "nutrition". In addition to adding organic fertilizer to the pot, it is also necessary to add fertilizer in the usual planting. In winter, it can be recycled every 3 to 7 days in the order of "Huabao"-clear water-clear water-"Huabao-clear water-clear water", and in spring, summer and autumn according to "Huabao"-Qingshui-"Huabao"-clear water every 1-4 days.

Myrtle is a healthy and delicious ingredient. If you are interested, you can buy it yourself and try it. The editor also recommends that people with strong hands-on ability can buy their own seeds and plant on their own. This will yield more.

[FAQ] can myrtle be planted artificially? Planting technique of Myrtle

[expert answers]

Sure! The main cultivation techniques of Myrtle are as follows:

1. Methods of reproduction

(1) sowing

Before sowing, we should first select the seeds. Whether the seeds are good or not is directly related to the success of sowing. It is best to choose the seeds harvested in the same year. The longer the seed is preserved, the lower the germination rate is. Choose seeds with full grains, no defects or deformities, and no diseases and insect pests. Families usually soak the seeds in hot water for about 60 ℃ for a quarter of an hour, and then use warm hot water to accelerate germination for 12-24 hours. The best way to disinfect the substrate used for sowing is to stir-fry it in a pan so that any diseases and insects can be scalded to death. Soak the seeds in warm hot water (the temperature is about the same as facial wash) for 12-24 hours until the seeds absorb water and expand. For common seeds that germinate easily, this work does not have to be done. For tiny seeds that are difficult to pick up with hands or other tools, wet one end of the toothpick with water, stick the seeds one by one on the surface of the matrix, cover the substrate 1 cm thick, and then put the seeding flowerpot into the water. the depth of the water is 1 hand 2-2 tap 3 of the height of the flowerpot, allowing the water to soak up slowly (this method is called "pot immersion"). For larger seeds that can be picked up by hand or other tools, put the seeds directly into the substrate and order them at a distance of 3 × 5 cm.

The substrate was covered after sowing, and the thickness of the cover was 2-3 times that of the seed. After sowing, the sowing matrix can be wet with sprayers and fine-hole showers, and later, when the pot soil is slightly dry, we should still pay attention to watering so as not to wash up the seeds; after sowing in late autumn, early spring or winter, when you encounter a cold wave and low temperature, you can wrap the flowerpot with plastic film to keep warm and wet. After the seedlings are unearthed, the film should be opened in time, and the seedlings should be exposed to the sun before 9:30 every morning or after 3:30 in the afternoon, otherwise the seedlings will grow very weakly; after most of the seeds come out, you need to plant seedlings properly: pull out the diseased and unhealthy seedlings so that there is some space between the seedlings left behind. When most of the seedlings have three or more leaves, they can be transplanted.

(2) Cuttage propagation

When the tender wood cuttings were carried out, the sturdy branches of the current year were selected as cuttings when the plants were growing vigorously from the end of spring to early autumn. After cutting off the branches, select the sturdy parts and cut them into segments 5-15 cm long, each with more than 3 leaf nodes. When cutting cuttings, it should be noted that the upper cut is cut flat at about 1 cm above the uppermost leaf node, and the lower cut is about 0.5 cm below the lowest leaf node, and the upper and lower cut should be flat (knife should be sharp). When hardwood cuttings are carried out, the robust branches are selected as cuttings after the temperature rises in early spring. Each cuttage usually retains 3-4 nodes, and the cutting method is the same as that of softwood cuttings.

2. Humidity:

Like the humid climate environment, the relative temperature of the air in the growing environment is 70-80%, the air relative humidity is too low, the lower leaves are yellowing and falling off, and the upper leaves are not glossy.

3. Temperature:

Because Myrtle is native to the tropics and likes the environment of high temperature and humidity, it is very strict to the temperature in winter. When the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃, it can not survive the winter safely when the environment temperature is below 10 min.

In the summer:

⑴ enhances air convection so that the temperature in its body can be released.

Put ⑵ in half shade, or give it 50% shade.

⑶ sprays it properly, 2-3 times a day.

In winter:

⑴ moved to a brightly lit place for maintenance.

⑵ is outside. You can wrap it in film for the winter, but you have to uncover the film every two days when the temperature is high at noon to let it breathe. Lighting: like semi-shaded environment, can give sufficient sunshine in autumn, winter and spring, but shade more than 50% in summer. Put in indoor maintenance, as far as possible in places with bright light, such as well-lit living room, bedroom, study and other places. After indoor maintenance for a period of time (about a month), it should be moved to an outdoor place with shade (heat preservation in winter) for a period of time (about a month), so alternately.

4. Fertilizer and water control

For potted plants, in addition to adding organic fertilizer when potting, proper fertilizer and water management should be carried out in the usual maintenance process.

Spring, summer and autumn: these three seasons are its peak growing season. Fertilizer and water management circulates in the order of "Huabao"-- clear water-- "Huabao"-- clear water, with an interval of about 1-4 days.

Winter: during the dormant period in winter, the main task is to control fertilizer and water. Fertilizer and water management circulates according to the order of "Huabao"-clear water-"Huabao"-"Huabao"-clear water, with an interval period of about 3-7 days. The interval period is shorter in sunny or high temperature days, longer or unwatered in rainy days or low temperature days. For ground-planted plants, fertilizer and water are applied 2-4 times according to drought in spring and summer: first, a small ditch is opened 30-100 cm away from the root neck (the larger the plant is, the farther away from the root neck), the width and depth of the ditch are both 20 cm. Sprinkle 25-50 jin of organic fertilizer or 1-5 particles of compound fertilizer (chemical fertilizer) into the ditch, and then pour it with permeable water. After the beginning of winter, before the beginning of spring, fertilize again according to the above method, but do not need watering.

[editor's comments] for children in the hilly areas of southern China, myrtle is probably one of their favorite wild fruits to play in the mountains, but now the weeds in many hilly areas are taller than people. Many people in the seventies and eighties probably haven't eaten it for many years. I miss its taste very much. in fact, myrtle can also be planted artificially. The specific method, the first agricultural economic editor, has already presented it to you. I hope it will be helpful to you.

How many jin of fruit does Myrtle produce per mu? What are the planting prospects of Myrtle?

[FAQ 1] how many jin of fruit does Myrtle yield per mu?

Myrtle is a kind of wild fruit in the south. A tree has about 5 jin of fruit, and a mu of myrtle can produce 400 jin of fruit.

[FAQ 2] what are the planting prospects of Myrtle?

[editor's answer] as a wild resource, Myrtle has unique plant advantages. whether it is landscape architecture, food processing, the development of health products, or medical drug research, it has a broad development prospect. therefore, the planting prospect of Myrtle is also very good, and more and more people choose to plant Myrtle.

[editor's message] Myrtle is a wild fruit native to the tropics, which is more suitable for growing in an environment of high temperature and humidity, so when planting myrtle, we should pay attention to climate change and planting methods.
