Cutting Propagation of Amorphophallus maoyanensis

The survival rate of cuttage is far lower than that of ramet propagation.

Cutting time

It can be carried out when the temperature is not lower than 20 ℃.

Cutting method

Generally choose the top tender shoot, the cuttage length is about 10-15 cm, according to the size of the leaf, retain its 1/3 or 1/2.

The cuttings can be treated with indoleacetic acid, indolebutyric acid or ABT rooting powder, and the cuttings can take root in about 30-50 days.

After the cuttings were treated, they were inserted into the seedling bed with a row spacing of 5 × 10 cm and covered with a thin film bow shed.

The above is the introduction of the breeding methods of cat's eye taro. Let's introduce the disease and pest control of cat's eye taro.

The Propagation method of Cat's Eye Taro

Ramet Propagation of Amorphophallus maoyan

This is the most commonly used breeding method of cat's eye taro, which is suitable for family planting.

Ramet time

It is generally chosen when the temperature is about 20 ℃ in late spring and early summer, but it can be carried out throughout the year as long as the temperature and humidity are appropriate.

Ramet method

First of all, the mother plant of cat's eye taro was taken out of the basin and the root block with stem, leaf or leaf bud was cut with a sharp knife.

Immediately after the cutting is finished, it is watered in the basin and placed in a cool place, the temperature and humidity are controlled in the early stage, and normal maintenance can be carried out after the new roots grow out.

Propagation method of Cat's Eye Amorphophallus

Cat's eye taro is a perennial evergreen herb, mainly foliage, which is usually used to plant indoors to beautify the home environment. Most of the propagation methods of plants are cutting, which is not only simple to operate, but also has a high survival rate. I wonder if the cat's eye taro is the same prevention and control method? What are the points for attention?

How to raise cat's eye taro

1. Temperature

Cat's eye bamboo taro is native to tropical and subtropical regions and is resistant to high temperature. It is suitable to be in the growth environment of 20-30 ℃. The most suitable growth temperature in winter should be about 16-18 ℃.

2. Lighting

Shade-tolerant plants, sexual preference for semi-shade, should be placed in a bright indoor light. Avoid direct sunlight, exposure, etc., in order to avoid burning leaves. Shading and ventilation should be done well in summer.

3. Watering

In the growth period of cat's eye taro, it is necessary to fully water the soil and keep the soil moist. At the same time, we should also pay attention to avoid causing stagnant water in the soil, so as not to cause rotten roots and even cause plant death. As the leaves of the cat's eye taro are larger and the water evaporates quickly, it is necessary to maintain a high air humidity around it. The leaves can be sprayed frequently to keep the air around the leaves moist, which is beneficial to the growth and extension of the leaves. Once the leaves are found to curl and atrophy, it means that the plant is in a state of lack of water.

4. Fertilizer

Follow the principle of "giving frequently and sparingly". Stop fertilizing during the dormant period in winter and the high temperature in summer.

What if the leaves of cat's eye bamboo taro turn yellow?

1. Improper lighting

Cat's eye bamboo taro likes shade and the light is too strong, which may cause plant leaves to burn, yellow spots appear on the leaf surface, and cause cat's eye bamboo taro leaves to wither and turn yellow. in this case, cat's eye bamboo taro should be moved to the indoor shade.

If the light is too little, the leaves can not get enough light, it will not be able to form chlorophyll, causing the leaves to turn yellow and fall off, so it is necessary to replenish the sun properly.

2. Improper watering

The cat's eye taro leaves are larger and the water evaporates quickly. if the old leaves begin to scorch and fall off, the tips and edges of the leaves are withered and bent, it means that the cat's eye taro is watered too little, so it is necessary to water more and spray more to keep the basin soil and the surrounding air moist.

When the young leaves of cat's eye taro are dull, and the branches and shoots are shrunk and small yellow and green, it is likely to be caused by too much watering. At this time, put the cat's eye taro in a ventilated place, dry the soil mass, reduce the watering frequency, and do less watering and wetting.

3. Improper fertilization

In the process of planting, if the tip of the new leaf is yellowish brown and the old leaf is scorched yellow, it is because of the high concentration of fertilization that the plant turns yellow. Fertilizer should be stopped immediately. If the situation is serious, the pot soil should be replaced and the residual fertilizer on the roots and leaves of the cat's eye taro should be cleaned.

If there is little or no fertilization at ordinary times, the yellowing of leaves may also be a lack of nutrients, so you should change the basin in time to apply thin fertilizer frequently.

Does cat's eye taro blossom?

Don't be deceived by the appearance of Cat's Eye Taro, taking it for granted that it is just a foliage plant. Cat's eye taro can blossom, but flowering is relatively rare. It is possible to blossom only in a good environment with suitable temperature and humidity and careful maintenance.

Because of the low temperature and dryness in the north, it is not easy for the cat's eye taro to blossom in this climate, while the humid and warm environment in the south is relatively easy to promote the flowering of the cat's eye taro.

This is the end of the breeding methods and maintenance skills of cat's eye taro. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Although many plants usually propagate by cutting, if it is for cat's eye taro, the editor still suggests that we adopt the method of split propagation, because the survival rate of cuttings is far lower than that of individual plants.
