Conservation method of potted Longtuzhu alias Qilin Tuzhu is a small perennial evergreen vine of the genus Verbenaceae, native to the west coast and southern tropics of Africa. Its flower shape is strange, the calyx is as white as thunder, the petals are crimson, and the bright red Corolla spits out like a pearl from the bibcock (calyx), just like a dragon spitting beads, hence the name. Growth habits: Dragon spits beads like high temperature, moist and sunny, afraid of cold, like fertile, loose, well-drained sandy loam. The basin soil can be prepared with 60% vegetable garden soil, 30% coal ash and 10% bone powder. The soil should not be too acidic or alkaline, and it is appropriate to be neutral. The suitable temperature for growth is between 18 ℃ and 28 ℃. Cultivation and management: the flowering period of Longtuzhu is from April to October. If managed properly, it can blossom continuously three or four times a year. Watering and fertilization should be flexibly mastered according to different seasons and different growth stages. The growth period of Longtuzhu is from March to May and early autumn. at this time, the basin soil should be kept at a high temperature, the water supply should be adequate, compound liquid fertilizer should be applied every 10 days or so, and phosphate fertilizer should be applied once or twice before flowering. Spraying potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to the leaves and flowers once a week during flowering can make the flowers colorful and prolong the florescence. After the flower fade, cut off the residual flowers in time, combined with moderate pruning, in order to promote the plant to grow leaves and flowers. At this time, you should also pay attention to keeping enough light. In midsummer, you should pay attention to shade and stop fertilizing. Early spring and severe winter should pay attention to heat preservation, to prevent frost, basin soil should be dry, in order to prevent rotting roots. Winter dormancy period to cut off some of the long branches and excess branches, in order to improve the cold resistance and ensure that the branches are strong. When the temperature drops below 15 ℃, the flowerpot should be moved into the sunny place indoors. Propagation method: Longtuzhu can be propagated by three methods: sowing, cutting and ramet. When sowing, the temperature should be stable above 18 ℃. Most of the cuttings were carried out from April to May or from September to October. Select the lignified strong new branches, cut them into cuttings 8 to 10 cm long, insert them into a basin with sandy soil as the substrate, pour enough water and shade them a little. Under the temperature of about 25 ℃, they can take root in about 40 days, and the new buds can be planted in the pot after they grow. Ramet is usually carried out before the germination of new buds in early spring. The small plants with roots were separated from the mother plants and planted. If properly managed, the sown dragon can blossom in the following year, and the cuttings and branches can blossom in the same year. In addition to potted ornamental plants, dragon spitting beads can also be made into bonsai by lifting roots, binding and other methods. In medical treatment, dragon spitting beads can also be used to treat injuries caused by falls, and the effect is remarkable. Growth conditions of Longtuzhu Culture method of Longtuzhu

Longtuzhu flower is mainly used for greenhouse cultivation and ornamental, the history of cultivation in China is not long, how to breed Longtuzhu let's go and have a look!

Longtuzhu summer and autumn season, the terminal white calyx spit out a bright red Corolla, red and white embedded, shaped like a swimming dragon spitting beads, extraordinarily beautiful, for the common potted flowers. Longtuzhu is a climbing evergreen shrub. Leaves opposite, ovate, apex acute, entire, lateral veins obvious. Flowers scattered in clusters, terminal or axillary. The calyx turns pink after white, becomes pentagonal, the top narrows gradually, the petal is red, the stamen is long, protruding outside the Corolla. The cultivated variety has dark green leaves and irregular white markings.

Longtuzhu is native to tropical western Africa. Like warm, moist and sunny environment, not cold-resistant. The suitable temperature for the growth of Longtuzhu is 18-24 ℃, 18-30 ℃ from February to October, and 13-16 ℃ from October to February of the following year. The winter temperature is not lower than 8 ℃, and the stems and leaves above 5 ℃ are easy to suffer from freezing injury. The light ones cause defoliation, and the heavy ones cause the tender stems to wither. During the vegetative growth period, the temperature can be higher, the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, as long as the water supply is sufficient, it can still grow normally. On the other hand, the temperature of reproductive growth, that is, the flowering stage, should be lower, about 17 ℃.

Longtuzhu is sensitive to water. Stem and leaf growth period to keep saline soil moist, but watering can not be excessive, the amount of water is too large, resulting in only long vines without flowering, even leaves yellowing, withering, root decay and death. Summer high temperature season should be fully watered and properly shaded. It is necessary to reduce watering in winter and make it dormant in order to survive the winter safely. Longtuzhu needs plenty of light in winter and shade when the summer weather is too hot, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. When the light is insufficient, it will cause vine growth and do not blossom.

Flower bud differentiation is not affected by photoperiod, but strong light can promote flower bud differentiation and development. It should not be kept in the dark for too long. If the temperature is above 21 ℃, the flowers will fall for more than 24 hours. The soil uses a rich, loose and well-drained sandy loam. Potted soil is cultivated or a mixture of peat soil and coarse sand.

The culture method of dragon spitting beads:

1. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of Longtuzhu is 18-24 ℃, 18-30 ℃ from February to October, and 13-16 ℃ from October to February of the following year. The winter temperature is not lower than 8 ℃, and the stems and leaves above 5 ℃ are easy to suffer from freezing injury. The light ones cause defoliation, and the heavy ones cause the tender stems to wither. During the vegetative growth period, the temperature can be higher, the temperature is higher than 30 ℃, as long as the water supply is sufficient, it can still grow normally. On the other hand, the temperature of reproductive growth, that is, the flowering stage, should be lower, about 17 ℃.

2. Soil: Longtuzhu potted soil uses rich, loose and well-drained sandy loam. Potted soil is cultivated or a mixture of peat soil and coarse sand.

3. Sunshine: put it in the yard or on the south balcony after the weather turns warm in spring and give full light in spring and autumn. If it is hot and hot in summer, it should be placed under the shade or in a shaded place.

4. Watering: potted dragon spitting beads need to master the two main links of watering and pruning. Longtuzhu likes to be moist and requires sufficient water during its growth and development. However, too much watering and excessive dampness in the basin soil can easily cause the leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Watering during the growth period should pay attention to uniform, basin soil often maintain a wet state, should not be too wet or too dry, should not be suddenly wet and dry.

5. Fertilization: fertilization should not be excessive. Mature thin cake fertilizer and water should be applied every 7-10 days in flowering season, and 3-4 times in succession. If yellowing is found in the process of cultivation, it can be combined with topdressing and 0.2% ferrous sulfate, which can gradually change the leaves from yellow to green.

6. Insect pests: the main pests are shell insects, whitefly, etc., which can be sprayed with 1000 to 1500 times of omethoate. The leaves caused by alkali to the soil can not stretch normally, and the leaves are green and yellow, which can be irrigated with 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution. For mosaic disease and fungal disease, the diseased leaves should be removed in time, ventilation should be strengthened, and the disease can be controlled by keeping the leaves dry.
