Culture method of Zhu Jiao

Soil

Zhu Jiao should use sandy loam with loose, fertile and good drainage, and the soil had better be neutral soil. Zhu Jiao's soil is a mixture of rotten leaf soil, culture soil and coarse sand. It is best to add a small amount of compound fertilizer to the culture soil as the base fertilizer, which can be sprinkled into the basin soil when it is put on the basin.

Watering

Zhu Jiao is extremely sensitive to water and should maintain a certain amount of humidity during the growth period. Lack of water will cause the leaves to fall, and too much water will cause stagnant water in the basin, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall. During the growing period, Zhu Jiao needs to spray water frequently, and the humidity is mainly 50-60%. Zhu banana should be well watered during the growing season, and water should be watered every day during drought and summer weather, and water should be sprayed on the leaves to maintain humidity.

Temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Zhu Jiao should be between 20-25 ℃, the daytime temperature in summer can reach 25-30 ℃, and the temperature in winter should be kept between 7-10 ℃. Keep in mind that the temperature should not be lower than 4 ℃, and individual varieties can withstand the low temperature of 0 ℃, thus it can be seen that Zhu Jiao has strong growth adaptability.

Light

Zhu Jiao Xiguang, the northern area can be placed in indoor semi-light for maintenance, can also be placed in the spring and autumn season in outdoor shade maintenance. Because of the low temperature and weak illumination in winter, it can be directly placed in the sunny place indoors to reduce the watering of the plant and stop fertilizing, and the overwintering temperature should be higher than 10 ℃.

Fertilizer application

Zhu Jiao should apply fertilizer every half a month during the peak growing season. Too little fertilizer of Zhu banana will also cause the growth leaves of Zhu banana to be dim, thinner, and even yellowing of withered leaves, thus affecting the growth and ornamental of Zhu banana.

Diseases and insect pests

Zhu Jiao is often plagued by leaf spot and anthracnose, so when encounter these two kinds of harm, can use antibacterial agent solution to spray, encounter shell insects with 40% omethoate 1000 times solution to spray.

How to cultivate Zhu banana by hydroponic culture

Zhu Jiao is beautiful in shape, gorgeous and elegant in color, and is often used to decorate indoor places. Zhu banana is often cultured in the way of soil culture, can it be cultured in water? How to raise Zhu Jiao in hydroponic culture? Then Xiaoqi shared the method of culturing plantain in water.

I. the culture method of Zhu banana in hydroponics

Hydroponic Zhu banana can dig up the soil-cultured plants from the soil, wash the soil of the roots, wrap the rhizosphere with soft things such as sponges, place them in the planting cup, and then place the planting cup in the hole slot of the anti-litter plate of the basin, so that the 2lap3 of the root system is immersed in the nutrient solution. Hydroponic plantain can also be cut directly, and the cuttings are usually cut in a jar filled with water in May-June and can take root in about 3 weeks.

In water culture, the concentration of Hoagland nutrient solution should be 1, pH5.8, and the depth of nutrient solution should be 2. 3 of that of pots. Change the nutrient solution every 15-25 days or shorten or prolong the time of changing the nutrient solution according to the plant growth.

Proper shading is needed in summer to avoid withering and yellowing of leaves, and light is needed in other seasons. Often spray water to the leaves, which is beneficial to the luxuriant stems and leaves and bright leaves. In order to keep the bright color pattern of the leaves, the nutrient solution is mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium and less nitrogen.
