Planting method of egg flower

The first method-cutting

The cuttage method of egg flower has a high survival rate. Generally, the sturdy branches are selected and divided into several sections. The white milk from the branches is dried and then inserted into the soil. During this period, the soil is moist, and finally it is good to wait for the egg flower to take root.

The second method-- pressing strip

Is to cut the branches close to the ground and press them into the soil to ensure that all kinds of nutrients are sufficient, and then wait for them to take root, and then separate the branches from the mother plant after taking root.

The third method-sowing

Plant the collected egg flower seeds into the soil, to keep the soil moist, all kinds of nutrients should be enough, and then wait for them to take root and sprout and grow seedlings.

The fourth method-- grafting

Select the appropriate rootstock and rootstock, cut the rootstock and branches into oblique incisions, match the two oblique incisions, bind the rootstocks and branches with rootstocks and seal them with film. And then wait for it to take root.

These are the methods of growing egg blossoms. Is it easy to learn? Next, the editor will share with you the maintenance methods and matters needing attention of egg flowers.

Egg flower planting

Egg flower, commonly known as egg yolk flower, because its petals from the inside to the outside are yellow, and then there is a fault of white, white and yellow, white inside yellow, very much like scattered eggs, so it is called egg flower, mostly in Southeast Asia, also known as Burma Gardenia. Egg flower fragrance, generally like to gather, belongs to deciduous shrubs, small trees, large leaves, generally summer flowering, native to America and Mexico, is a very ornamental flower.

Egg flower is actually quite famous, especially in Southeast Asia, because egg flower, which is located as one of the five trees and six flowers in Buddhist books, is called Indian Jasmine because of its simplicity and freshness. It is the city flower of Chongqing.

Egg blossoms are very suitable for cultivation in the courtyard, and the shape of the tree is strange, from the point of view of ordinary people. It is very suitable for family planting, so how to grow egg flowers? First of all, we need to know its habits.

Egg flower originally grew in Mexico, so it likes temperature, and the air is moist and can grow better. It generally grows in the sun and belongs to positive tree species. Egg blossoms that usually bloom grow in the sun. Egg blossoms grow in acidic soil, and the temperature is generally above 25 degrees Celsius. It is difficult to see egg flowers blooming below 20 degrees Celsius.

How to raise egg blossom

1. The requirement of egg flower soil is not very high, general soil is fine, but if you want to grow beautiful egg flower, you need to plant it in loose soil with more corrosive quality and good drainage.

2. Egg blossom dwarf varieties are planted in the family, but egg flowers still grow relatively fast, especially the root system, so it is generally recommended to change pots once a year. Potted soil can buy special soil.

3. Egg flower needs to be watered properly, because it is drought-tolerant and belongs to solar plants, but if it is watered too much, it will be waterlogged. The general principle of watering is dry soil and then watering. Summer flowers can properly water the leaves and branches.

4, egg flower fertilization is not very strict, in the growing period and flowering period can be appropriate fertilization about once a week, remember to be thin fertilizer. But don't fertilize in winter. To prevent overgrowth.

5, egg flower solar plant, as long as the sun is sufficient, then it will grow very fast, the longer the sunshine, the more flowers will bloom.

6. Temperature is very important for frangipani, because it grows in the tropics and is not resistant to cold. As soon as the temperature drops below 20 degrees Celsius in autumn, the leaves begin to fall. The general temperature needs to be kept above 10 degrees Celsius in winter.

What is a frangipani? Planting methods and points for attention of egg blossom

What is a frangipani? Egg flower, alias Burmese gardenia, egg yolk flower, Indian Jasminum, big season flower, egg flower is a deciduous shrub or small tree. Egg blossoms bloom in summer, fragrance is elegant, the editor's family raised a pot of egg flowers, whenever blossoming, the room is full of light and elegant aroma. Then how to raise egg flowers? Let's talk about my experience.

Morphological characteristics

Small deciduous trees, about 5 m high, up to 8.2 m, DBH 15-20 cm; branches stout, fleshy, with rich milk, green, glabrous. Leaves thickly papery, oblong-oblanceolate or long-elliptic, long 20~40cm, broadly 7~11cm, tip shortly acuminate, base narrowly cuneate, surface dark green, leaf back light green, both surfaces glabrous; midvein impressed on leaf surface, slightly raised on leaf back, lateral veins flattened on both surfaces, 30 × 40 on each side, not reaching margin reticulate to form marginal veins; petiole long 4~7.5cm, upper base with glands, glabrous.

Cymes terminal, 16~25cm long, ca. 15cm wide, glabrous; total pedicel trichotomous, long 11~18cm, fleshy, green; pedicel long 2~2.7cm, reddish; calyx lobes small, ovoid, apical round, long and wide ca. 1.5mm, pressing Corolla tube without opening Corolla white outside, reddish markings on the left outside of Corolla tube and lobes, Corolla inner yellow, 4~5cm in diameter, Corolla tube cylindrical, long 1~1.2cm, ca. 4mm in diameter, outside glabrous, inner surface densely pilose, throat without scales; Corolla lobes broadly Obovate, apex rounded, base covered to left, long 3~4cm, wide 2~2.5cm Stamens inserted at base of Corolla tube, filaments extremely short, anthers oblong, ca. 3 mm; carpels 2, free, glabrous, style short, stigma oblong, middle constricted, apical 2-lobed; each carpel has multiple embryo plants.

Seeds obliquely obliquely oblong, flattened, long 2cm, broadly 1cm, apical with membranous wings, wings ca. 2cm long. The flowering period is from May to October, and the fruit stage cultivation is rarely fruitful, usually from July to December.

Growth habit

Egg flower is a positive tree species, sexual preference for high temperature, moist and sunny environment. But it can also grow in a semi-shady environment, but the branches grow only in a shady environment, with few or no leaves, while yellow egg blossoms grow aerial roots on the branches in a shady and humid environment.

The soil suitable for egg flower planting is the acid sandy loam with deep and fertile, good permeability and rich organic matter, which has strong plants, large number of flowers and bright colors. When the soil is barren, the egg flower has poor growth and development, the flower shape is small and the flower color is dim.

Egg flower is resistant to drought, avoid waterlogging and has good stress resistance. However, drought is not conducive to plant development, serious poor growth; waterlogging is easy to cause root rot.

Egg flower has poor cold tolerance, and the most suitable temperature for growth is 20-26 ℃. It is vulnerable to chilling injury when it is lower than 8 ℃ for a long time during overwintering. In the vast cities and towns south of the Tropic of Cancer in China, open-field cultivation can generally survive the winter safely; in central and North China, it is only suitable for potted plants, and people can overwinter in greenhouse in winter.

Planting method

Breeding methods can press branches in the growing season. Cut the 30cm or so of the stem and insert it into the sandy soil after the cut is dry to keep the soil moist and moist. It can take root in 30 days and transplant after 1-2 months. It can also be planted and cultured.

Cultivation management grows better in fertile sandy soil and can be maintained in a place full of sunlight every day. Watering should be "dry and thoroughly". Pay attention to the raw soil not to be too wet, so as not to rot the roots. During the growth time, the mature density small liquid fertilizer was applied every 10 days, and the soil was often loosened to maintain the satisfactory air permeability of the raw soil. In the cold winter, fertilizer is applied and watering is controlled to keep the plant dormant and maintain a room temperature of about 10 "C. even if all the leaves are peeled off, the plant will not lose its life, and the plant will not lose its life when it grows new leaves in the spring.

The main diseases and insect pests seldom occur in the mausoleum.

Suitable range of origin to return to the New World. In our country, it is mainly cultivated in the south of the Yangtze River, and Bailiang and Chendian are more cultivated in Yiling.

Egg blossoms for garden use can be used as bonsai in the north, while they can be planted in the garden in the south of the Yangtze River and suitable for planting in the lawn. In addition to ornamental, flowers and bark can also be used as human medicine, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxification, relieving cough and dampness. When the branches or twigs are broken, they will shed a white serous color, which is often used unofficially to treat wounds. The flowers can be dried for consumption or tea.
