Flower-leaf Ficus cultivation considerations

Selection and replacement of pots

The size of the flowerpot should be selected according to the size of the plant. In order to make it beautiful, three seedlings can be planted in each pot. Generally speaking, large potted plants can be changed every 2 to 3 years, while small ones may need to be changed every April.

Reasonable fertilization

In the growing season, liquid fertilizer dominated by nitrogen fertilizer and supplemented by potassium fertilizer can be applied every two weeks to supplement the nutrients needed for growth.

The essentials of pruning

The weeping leaf banyan is not afraid of pruning at all, it can change all kinds of shapes, and it is easy to survive.

The method of reproduction

The propagation of weeping-leaf banyan usually adopts cutting or high pressure method. Cutting in the spring and summer, cut off 10 murmur15cm robust branches, leaving only the upper 1-2 leaves, inserted into the river sand, moisturizing the state; high-pressure reproduction in the summer, select a sturdy side branch with a good shape, the stem is carried out 0.5 MUE 1 cm wide ring peeling, and then wrapped in moist water moss, less than a month can take root.

How to culture weeping-leaf banyan culture methods and matters needing attention

In indoor plants, we can often see weeping banyan, drooping banyan leaf thin leathery, its air root, bark, leaf buds, fruit can be used for heat-clearing and detoxification, dispelling wind, cooling blood and so on. In addition, the weeping leaf banyan can also purify the air and act as an ornament. Then how to raise the hanging-leaf banyan?

I. Culture methods of weeping-leaf banyan

1. Select / change pots: the size of flowerpots is generally determined according to the size of drooping banyan seedlings. In order to obtain good plant type, 3 seedlings should be planted in one pot. In order to supplement nutrients, the pendulous leaf banyan needs to change the pot every 1-3 years, small potted plants can be changed every April, and large-scale plants can be changed every 2-3 years. When changing the basin in spring, add rotten compost (such as dried pig manure) to the bottom of the basin, and then add new basin soil. When changing the basin, it is best to trim it to promote branching.

2. Soil: the weeping banyan should grow in the acid mixed soil with humus, which can be the mixture of compost and peat soil in the same proportion, with a little base fertilizer, or it can be composed of garden soil and rotten leaf soil with a little coarse sand.

3. Temperature: weeping banyan likes high temperature environment, and the best growth temperature is 22-30 ℃. It is not cold-resistant. In order to prevent frost injury, the temperature should not be less than 5 ℃ in overwintering stage.

4. Illumination: the weeping leaf banyan likes the light, and it is generally placed in a sunny place, but it is not acceptable to be exposed to strong light, especially the varieties of flowers and leaves. The mesophyll of the weeping banyan that receives enough sunlight is thick and shiny; the plants without light grow sluggishly, the internodes elongate, and the leaves are soft.

5. Moisture: weeping banyan likes the environment with high humidity and avoids drying. In the middle of summer, it is necessary to frequently water and moisturize, and spray water frequently to the leaf surface and air, so that the weeping leaf banyan can grow better and increase the luster of the leaves. In winter, in order to prevent rotting roots, water them again when they are dry.

6. Fertilization: during the growing period, liquid fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, should be applied every two weeks, and a small amount of potassium fertilizer can be applied properly.

7. Diseases and insect pests: weeping banyan is susceptible to leaf spot and black mildew. You can spray 50% carbendazim wettable powder 600-1000 times or 70% mancozeb 400-600 times. In terms of insect pests, drooping banyan is vulnerable to shell insects and red spiders, which can be prevented by spraying 40% triclosan emulsion 1000-1500 times or 40% omethoate emulsion 1000 times.

II. Matters needing attention in the culture of weeping-leaf banyan

The weeping-leaf banyan tree prefers warm and humid growth environment and avoids planting in low temperature and dry environment; the requirement of light is not strict; the most suitable temperature for growth and development is 23 ℃-32 ℃. The tree has relatively strong cold tolerance and can withstand 0 ℃ low temperature for a short time. Weeping-leaf banyan trees like light, like high temperature and humid climate, and have strong adaptability. At the same time, the soil quality is not strict, and it is best to be planted in a fertile and well-drained environment.

When entering the vigorous growth period, weeping banyan trees should be often watered to keep the soil moist and spray water around their leaves, which can effectively promote the growth and development of plants and improve the glossiness of leaves. Watering in winter should avoid getting too wet, resulting in rotting roots.

The breeding methods and matters needing attention of weeping-leaf banyan have been introduced to you. I hope it will be helpful to you to better cultivate your own home-grown banyan.

Brief introduction of weeping-leaf banyan matters needing attention in maintenance

Weeping leaf banyan is a common indoor foliage plant. It can effectively absorb indoor formaldehyde and evolve indoor air. It can also improve the humidity of the room and benefit the skin and breathing. In addition to indoor potted plants, weeping-leaf banyan can also be used as a garden ornamental plant, which is an indispensable tree species for courtyard plant landscaping. Its beautiful tree shape, straight trunk and green leaves are of great ornamental value. So, what is the culture method of drooping leaf banyan? Let's take a look.

1. Brief introduction of weeping leaf banyan

Weeping-leaf banyan, also known as Ficus tenuifolia, is an evergreen tree of the genus Ficus of Moraceae. Up to 20 m high, DBH 30-50 cm, broad crown; bark gray, smooth; branchlets drooping. Leaves thinly leathery, ovate to ovate-elliptic. Achenes ovate-reniform, shorter than style. The florescence is from August to November. Distributed in Yunnan, Guangdong, Hainan and other places. Born in a moist forest of 500 to 800 meters above sea level. Its air roots, bark, leaf buds and fruits can be used for heat-clearing and detoxification, dispelling wind, cooling blood and so on. In addition, the weeping leaf banyan can also purify the air and act as an ornament.

Evergreen trees, naturally branched, branches drooping soft, branches easy to get angry roots. Simple leaves alternate, leaves oblong or elliptic, subleathery. Light green. Sex likes the climate with high temperature, high humidity and plenty of sunshine. The suitable temperature for growth is 22 ~ 30t, and the overflow degree in winter is not less than 5Q, otherwise it is easy to suffer frost injury. It is better to be early-resistant, moisture-resistant, anti-pollution, avoid low-temperature drying, and require slightly acidic sandy loam with fertile, loose and well-drained soil.

2. the culture method of weeping leaf banyan.

1. Light and temperature: when cultivating weeping-leaf banyan, it is generally placed in a bright place, but strong light should be avoided, especially in flowering-leafy banyan. Lack of light will make the internodes of banyan leaves elongate, the leaves droop soft, and the growth is weak. The suitable temperature for the growth of weeping banyan is 15-30 ℃, and the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃.

2. Watering: during the peak growth period, the wetting banyan should be watered frequently, and water should be sprayed to the leaf surface and the surrounding space, so as to promote plant growth and improve leaf luster. If the basin soil is too wet in winter, it is easy to rot the roots, so it must be watered when the basin is dry.

3. Soil and fertilization: mixed soil rich in humus can be used in vertical leaf banyan basin soil, such as compost mixed with the same amount of peat soil, and some base fertilizer is applied as base fertilizer. In the growing season, liquid fertilizer can be applied every two weeks, and the fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, properly combined with some potassium fertilizer to promote its leaf color to be thick and green. The size of the flowerpot varies according to the size of the plant.

4. Pest control: when raising weeping-leaf banyan, diseases and insect pests sometimes occur. Common harm to leaf spot and black mildew, choose 70% mancozeb wettable powder 400-1000 times liquid or 50% carbendazim wettable powder 600-1000 times liquid spray to control. Common pests include shell insects and red spiders, which can be sprayed with 40% omethoate emulsion 100 () times or 40% triclosan emulsion 1000 times 150 times.

5. Changing pots: when cultivating weeping leaf banyan, small potted plants should be changed once a year in April, and large potted plants can be changed once every 2 to 3 years to supplement the nutrients needed for growth. When changing the basin in spring, there are 4 places at the bottom of the basin to bury rotten compost (such as dried pig manure), and then divest the new basin soil. Change the basin and trim and reshape at the same time to promote new branches.

6. propagation method of weeping leaf banyan: vertical leaf banyan is commonly used in cutting propagation or high pressure propagation. Cutting propagation, spring and summer select strong and full branches or top twigs, cut into 10-15 cm, remove the lower leaves, the upper with 1-2 leaves, inserted in the river sand or frogstone. Maintain high air humidity. It takes about 1 month to take root.

Matters needing attention of weeping-leaf banyan

The main results are as follows: 1. Weeping banyan trees prefer warm and humid growth environment, avoid planting in low temperature and dry environment, the requirement of light is not strict, and the most suitable temperature for growth and development is 23 ℃ ~ 32 ℃.
