How to make a fortune tree trunk soft? Find the right reason to cultivate it easily

The rich tree has the effect of purifying the air, so raising it indoors is very good for your health. In addition, the moral of the rich tree is very good, and it is deeply loved by people. Although the rich tree is a kind of plant that is easy to cultivate, there are also many flower friends who react. When raising this plant, either the trunk softens or the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

In fact, the softening of the trunk or the yellowing of the leaves of the rich tree is caused by damage to the roots. The extent of the damage to the roots determines whether the rich tree can survive.

The main reason for the damage to the trunk of the rich tree may be due to too much watering. Some flower lovers do not know how to water the right amount of water, or the trunk that has just been planted will be overwatered, so that a large amount of water in the basin can not be discharged in time. So that the root of the trunk can not breathe normally, so the root is soaked by water.

When such a situation occurs, it is necessary to put the wealth tree in a well-ventilated place for ventilation. If it is found that the rotten part of the root system is larger, it is necessary to dig out the rotten part and continue to breed.

The trunks of rich trees sometimes soften because the soil is too dry. Some flower lovers have heard that the rich tree is not a water-loving plant, so they put it in a cool place for a long time. The rich tree that has not been watered for a long time will cause the trunk to become soft and the leaves yellow to fall due to lack of water and nutrients.

This kind of situation appears can change the basin to breed, replenish enough water in time, place in the place with very good ventilation, semi-shady place to breed.

There are also flower friends who like to expose the wealth tree to the sun for a long time, so that when the sun is too full at noon, the wealth tree can not stand to cause the trunk to soften. Put it in a semi-shady place with good ventilation for breeding. Some flower friends keep it in a hidden place for a long time, which is not good either.

What if the trunk of the rich tree becomes soft? the reason why the trunk of the rich tree becomes soft.

It can be said that the rich tree is a kind of potted plant that many families will breed, but many people will encounter a lot of problems in the process of raising the rich tree, for example, what if the trunk of the rich tree becomes soft? Let the editor of Huayu net answer for you what to do about the softening of the tree trunk and the reason why the trunk of the tree becomes soft.

The reason for the softening of the trunk of the rich tree

1, too much watering

2, lack of light

One of the reasons for the softening of the trunk of the rich tree is that the indoor temperature is too humid, and the trunk of the rich tree that has been placed in the shade for a long time is also prone to soften.

3. Long-term fattening

There is no application of nitrogen fertilizer or no change of water for a long time, and the lack of nitrogen and other nutrient elements in the water leads to thin branches and leaves and thin and yellow leaves. It is necessary to change into new culture water in time and gradually apply rarefied mature liquid fertilizer or compound flower fertilizer.

4, improper temperature

In fact, temperature is also a very important factor on the issue of how to soften the trunk of rich trees. When the room temperature is too low in winter, the flowers suffer cold damage, which leads to the yellowing of leaves and death in severe cases. If the room temperature is too high, the transpiration of the plant is too high, and the root water and nutrients are in short supply, the leaves will turn yellow.

5, diseases and insect pests

Diseases and insect pests are also one of the reasons for the softening of the trunk of wealth trees. leaf spot disease caused by fungi and other bacteria is easy to cause local necrosis of leaves, yellow spots or patches, and when the whole leaf is withered and yellow and shedding seriously, mottle of yellow and green appears on the leaves infected by mosaic virus, and is harmed by shell insects, red spiders and so on.

After reading the introduction of the editor, we should have a certain understanding of how the trunk of the rich tree becomes soft. Let's continue to understand the solution to the softening of the trunk of the rich tree.

The solution to the softening of the trunk of the rich tree

1, watering the right amount

It is found that the root of the rich tree is rotten due to overwatering. We can rinse the soil from the root with water and cut off all the rotten part with a sterilized blade. If necessary, Hua you should also cut the rotten parts of the tree trunk and clean up the softened trunk completely. Then apply a fungicide to the wound of the trunk and keep the plant in a ventilated environment. When the wound on the root heals, the flower friend can put it back on the pot. In the process of breeding, first put the plant in an environment with good ventilation but not too strong light, wait for the rich tree to grow new roots, and then put it on the balcony for maintenance. In addition, try not to touch water on sick tree trunks, so as not to invade the plant wound by bacteria.

2. Enough light.

3. Adequate fertilization

What if the trunk of the rich tree becomes soft? In fact, the demand for fertilizer for rich trees is greater than that for other flowers and trees, and the proportion of fertile soil can be 1/3 when changing pots. Fertile soil includes humus fallen leaves, mixed bones, mixed bean cake dregs and so on. These fertile soils are highly effective and easy to obtain. However, care should be taken to make it fully mature so as not to yellowing the leaves. During the growing period of the rich tree (that is, from May to September), mature liquid fertilizer or flower fertilizer should be applied every 15 days to make it have deep roots and luxuriant leaves.

4, keep the temperature

Rich tree originated from Central America, Mexico to Costa Rica, like the high temperature and humid environment, its most suitable growth temperature is 18-30 ℃, culture should pay attention to maintain a temperature of more than 15 ℃, and often spray water to branches and leaves to increase humidity, while in late autumn and winter, we should pay attention to cold, anti-freezing work.

5. Pest control

The harm of rich leaf spot disease can be controlled by spraying 1000 times of carbendazim. The pests of rich trees include shell insects, whitefly and leaf borer, which can be sprayed with 1000 times of imidophos EC.

Planting and cultivation techniques and indoor culture management methods of rich trees

The rich tree, also known as melon chestnut and Malaba chestnut, belongs to the small evergreen tree of the kapok family. It is native to Mexico and Costa Rica and is now widely planted in the south of China. Because the name of "Wealth Tree" represents good luck, coupled with its beautiful shape, bright green leaves and easy management, it is suitable for indoor decoration and beautification after potted planting, and most hotels, restaurants and citizens purchase each other during the holidays, so, the rich tree has developed rapidly in China's flower market in recent years. The cultivation of rich trees has become a good project for the vast number of growers to get rich. Today we will introduce to you the cultivation techniques of rich trees.

Biological characteristics of Rich Tree

1. The morphological characteristics of the rich tree: the rich tree is an evergreen tree with an upright trunk, with a maximum height of about 10 meters. It has a fleshy root system, an inflated stem base, a smooth green bark of the young stem, and can be braided; the leaves of the rich tree are palmately compound leaves with a petiole of 10 cm and 9 leaflets. The fruit of the rich tree is a hard capsule. When the fruit is ripe, the pericarp changes from turquoise to yellowish brown, each fruit has 10-20 seeds, the seed coat is light brown, and there are navel marks on the abdomen; the flowers of the rich tree are yellowish, the filaments are slender, and there are 2-3 bracteoles on it.

2. The growth habit of the wealth tree: the wealth tree is light-loving and shade-tolerant, and can grow in full sunshine, half-day or shade, but the long-term lack of light will weaken its growth. The suitable temperature for the growth of rich trees is 20mur30 degrees Celsius, which can grow below 10 degrees Celsius, but less than 5 degrees Celsius is prone to disease, causing defoliation in light cases and death in heavy ones. The rich tree has inflated roots and stem base, which can store a lot of water, so it is more drought-resistant, while too much moisture in the soil will lead to succulent root rot. The cultivation of rich trees is not too strict on the soil, as long as the drainage is good, it can grow normally.

3, the shape of the wealth tree: the shape of the wealth tree can be divided into single pole modeling and braiding modeling, braiding modeling is more traditional, there are "three dragons", "five dragons", "seven dragons" and other common on the market, it has the feminine beauty of twining branches, graceful and elegant. The single pole shape, natural beauty, strong vitality, and can grow into a spectacular stump, very magnificent, become a new darling in the market, for growers, the two cultivation techniques are basically the same.

The reproduction of the rich tree

The reproduction of rich trees can be divided into two types: seed propagation and cutting propagation. Because the head stem is not inflated and the seedling stalk is not beautiful in cutting propagation, it is rarely used in horticultural production. Seed sowing and seedling propagation has the characteristics of uniform emergence, straight roots, easy braiding and lovely "radish head", which has become a common breeding method adopted by most flower growers. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Seed collection and selection: the rich tree blossoms twice a year, and the seeds can also be harvested twice. the first time blossoms from April to May, the fruit ripens from July to August, the second blossoms from September to October, and the fruit ripens in December. Growers should choose mature and full seeds and remove dried, cracked and moldy seeds. Do not use seeds from inferior trees or trees with obvious diseases.

2. Sowing: the soil should be raked deeply before sowing, and the seedbed suitable for seed growth should be divided. At both ends of the seedbed, we pull a rope, insert a bamboo stick every 0.3 meters to set the row spacing, and draw a straight shallow trench with bamboo sticks on both sides of the plank. in this shallow ditch, one seed is planted according to the plant spacing of 0.1 meters, and about 10,000 seedlings can be raised in an acre of land. When planting seeds, you should pay attention to planting navel down, so that the rich tree will be straight and straight. The thickness of the seed cover is about 2mi 3cm, which should not be too thick, so as not to affect the emergence of rich trees. After covering the soil, we should also pay attention to cover the seedbed with a black sunshade net to prevent the seeds from being burned by the scorching sun until the seeds germinate.

3. Daily management of seedling stage: after 4 days, seedlings can be emerged. the following management should be done after emergence.

① watering: after removing the sunshade net, water should be watered once every 2 days. Sprinklers should be installed before the water pipe, not directly watered with faucets. Watering should be done until the surface of the soil is fully moist, and should be watered every 5 days after finishing the seedlings, and appropriate amount of water should be watered according to the weather and temperature after 2 months.

② fertilization: the whole seedling period can be fertilized 5 times, the first time after the seedlings, can use compound fertilizer, about 2.5kg per mu, using artificial sprinkling method, because the root area of a single seedling is very small, so it is very important to spread fertilizer evenly on the soil, which requires fertilizers to be particularly experienced, hand swinging speed and walking speed should be uniform. After fertilization, wash the leaves with water so that the fertilizer can be absorbed quickly. After fertilizing every 1-2 months, the amount of fertilizer used gradually increased, and the amount of fertilizer used per mu was between 2.5ml and 7.5kg.

③ weeding: due to the high growth density of seedlings, need a lot of nutrients, if there are too many weeds in the seedbed, it will affect the growth and development of seedlings, so growers should pull out the weeds on the seedbed in time.

The field management of the rich tree

1. Seedling raising: be careful when raising seedlings with a hoe, move slowly, and do not dig up the roots of the rich tree. The seedlings dug out should be treated in two ways: the first is root cutting, cutting off the overlong roots, leaving only about 25 cm; the second is pruning: cut off the branches below 1.2 meters above the base of the stem of the rich tree to ensure an adequate supply of nutrients to the trunk. As the degree of development of each rich tree seedling is not necessarily the same, growers also have to classify the seedlings according to their height and cannot be mixed. Here, I would like to remind growers to pay special attention to the fact that braided rich trees start their seedlings earlier. When the saplings grow to 0.6 meters, they should do so, while the single-pole rich trees can not be planted until the saplings reach 1.5 meters.

2. Planting: the planting of rich trees can be divided into two types: braided planting and individual planting. Braiding means that the seedlings should be braided before they are transplanted to the field for cultivation. Let's take the shape of "five Dragons" as an example to introduce the braiding method of the rich tree in detail.

① seedling selection: first of all, the five rich saplings we selected must be of the same size and thickness, and each of them must not have disease or sprains, and then leave them in a cool place for 3 days to dehydrate them and make their stems softer.

② braiding method: first, we mark the five saplings, then put No. 1 and No. 2 to the right, then No. 3 and No. 4 to the left, and finally No. 5 in the middle, and then use a rubber band to tie the roots of the five saplings together. Then we use No. 1 to press the two trees next to it, that is, No. 2 and No. 5, and then use No. 4 to press on the two trees next to it, that is, No. 3 and No. 1. Press No. 5 and No. 4 with No. 2, and No. 1 and No. 2 with No. 3, and so on, we always press the two saplings next to it with the outermost saplings, and finally tie the ends of the braids tightly with rubber bands to prevent them from spreading. Growers should pay attention to the uniform distance between each braid, so that the rich trees that grow in the future can be beautiful. During the operation, the braid will naturally bend to one side, and we need to press it straight with heavy objects in the shade. Finally, the pressed wealth tree can be planted in the field. Except for the difference in shape, the techniques of braided planting and single plant planting are completely the same.

③ is generally planted at a density of about 450plants per mu. The plant spacing between seedlings is 0.75 meters, and the row spacing is 2 meters. According to this standard, growers dig holes in the ground with a depth and width of 30cm, and then put 50ml 100g of base fertilizer in each hole and mix the fertilizer with the soil in the hole with a hoe. When planting trees, the saplings should stand vertically in the hole and return to the soil layer by layer. When returning to the soil, it is necessary to protect the trunk upright, and the depth of the return soil should be about the same as that of the seedlings buried in the seedbed. Newly planted seedlings should be watered with fixed roots once, and each plant uses about 3 jin of water.

3. Daily management: after planting, the rich tree needs to strengthen maintenance and management in order to ensure its survival and healthy growth and development. We need to pay attention to the following.

① watering: rich trees in the growth period of moisture requirements are not too strict, once every two months after planting can be watered, in case of hot weather, drought can be increased according to the circumstances of watering, irrigation should reach full irrigation, do not wet the topsoil and the subsoil is still dry, generally should be watered to the depth of 80 to 100cm.

② fertilization: the first year after planting, topdressing once every six months, using hole application method, hole application is a centralized fertilization, economic fertilizer method. The specific methods are as follows: first, dig a cave 10 cm deep and 20 cm wide between every two trees, about half a meter from the base of the trunk, then put 25 grams of compound fertilizer in each hole, and finally cover the soil to prevent fertilizer loss. In the dry season, growers can also mix compound chemical fertilizer into water, using an average of 3 jin of water per hole and fertilizing in the form of water and fertilizer, which can accelerate the root absorption of seedlings and improve the utilization rate of fertilizer. Fertilization was applied once a year in the second year and the third year, and the amount used each time was twice as much as in the first year.

③ pruning: pruning should be carried out in summer, from early June to early July. One of the pruning techniques is thinning: for example, the trunk of the rich tree planted less than one year is lower, and the vigorous and upright branches are generally selected as the trunk, and the rest of the branches are thinned according to the situation, mainly to remove the overdense side branches and overgrown branches on the crown. The second is cutting: that is, cutting off the upright and strong side branches, according to the principle of keeping the pressure weak, going straight and keeping flat, cutting in stages, leaving twigs under the cutting mouth, which can not be cut off from the base, so as to prevent the trees from weakening.

4. common diseases and insect pests and their control: wealth trees have strong disease resistance and less diseases and insect pests under normal conditions, but they are easy to occur under high temperature and humidity. The common pests of wealth trees are mainly moth larvae, such as poisonous moth larvae, Phoenix butterfly larvae, etc., which can be treated with avermectin solution diluted by 1500UR 2000 times; the main diseases of wealth trees are anthracnose, gray blight and stem base rot. Next, we will introduce to you the treatment of these diseases.

① anthracnose: its main symptoms are as follows: the disease spot spreads from the top to the bottom of the leaf tip, and the color of the disease spot is dark brown to grayish brown. The method of prevention and treatment is to apply less nitrogen fertilizer, increase phosphorus fertilizer, reduce foliar humidity, change foliar watering to base watering, maintain good ventilation and ventilation, and the medicine can be sprayed with 600x liquid spray of carbon tetralin wettable powder for 3 consecutive times, once every 7 days.

② leaf blight: its main symptoms are: the disease spot is yellow to grayish yellow, the shape is uncertain, and small needle-like particles appear when the humidity is high. The control methods are to keep the environment clean, deal with diseased leaves in time, strengthen fertilizer and water management, and enhance plant disease resistance. Copper oxychloride suspension + mancozeb wettable powder can be used to dilute the plant at 1:1, once every 10 min for 15 days.

③ stem base rot: its main symptoms are: the abnormal color of the cortex at the base of the stem, which is gray to gray-black, and extends to the depth of xylem, resulting in the death of the whole tree. The prevention and control method is to operate carefully in the process of seedling initiation, planting and transportation of the rich tree, to reduce the man-made wound as much as possible, to scrape off the diseased place with a knife first, and then soak and disinfect it with 600 times potassium permanganate solution, and thoroughly cut off the infected part of the seriously diseased plant.

After two years of cultivation, when the stem of the rich tree becomes stout, it can be transferred to a potted plant and sold on the market.

Indoor Management of Wealth Tree

In the vast northern part of China, the temperature is relatively cold in winter, and the rich trees can not survive outdoors, so they are generally potted indoors, the shade tolerance of the rich trees is good, and the indoor pot maintenance is relatively simple, so we should pay attention to the following:

1. Lighting: the rich tree is resistant to shade, but likes light. If it is shaded for a long time, the growth will slow down, the leaf color will fade and lose luster, so the potted plant should be placed in a place with strong light, such as near the window, and must be moved to the balcony or outdoors regularly to receive light to restore vitality, but from indoor to outdoor, it should be carried out step by step, for a short time, such as 1 rain for 2 hours, and then for a long time, such as 1 rain for 2 days, the first weak light. After the strong light, do not expose to the sun.

2. Temperature and humidity: the rich tree likes the temperature and is afraid of the cold. In winter, the room temperature should be kept above 15 degrees Celsius and below 5 degrees Celsius, and the rich tree may die. The first principle of watering is that it would rather be dry than wet, watering more in summer and less in winter.

3. Pruning: indoor potted wealth trees are generally pruned twice a year, once in spring and autumn. When pruning, the newly grown shoots on the trunk should be cut off, the incision should be close to the trunk, the aging and yellowing leaves, the redundant weak twigs in the crown should be cut off, and the elongated branches at the top should also be cut properly to maintain a beautiful crown.

4. Change the basin: the rich tree has developed roots and grows fast. When indoor potted plants are planted for 2 years, the pots should be changed in time when their growth becomes weaker. The pots are usually changed in late autumn or winter. Do not water the pots before changing pots. If it is not easy to take out, you can insert a shovel along the pot wall to separate the soil from the four walls of the flowerpot. Then, shake the roots back and forth, pull the tree out of the basin and put it into a prepared container. Do not dig basin soil, so as not to hurt the roots. When changing the basin, it should be pruned properly according to the length of the root system, remove the fibrous roots entangled too much by rotten roots, and then put in the acid sand loam with good drainage, which should account for about 1/3 of the basin, and then add 5 murals and 10 grams of compound fertilizer. After mixing evenly with the soil, the pruned rich tree species can be returned to the basin and finally watered until the outlet hole at the bottom of the basin flows out.

The rich tree is elegant and evergreen, and it has become a leader in ornamental plants. We sincerely hope that the broad masses of farmers will embark on a real road of getting rich by relying on scientific cultivation methods and with the good wishes of "getting rich".
