The sowing method of the rich tree

The rich tree is called melon chestnut, Malaba chestnut, goose palm money. It is the evergreen little Qiao of Gossypiaceae. It is native to Costa Rica, Australia and some small islands in the Pacific Ocean of Latin America, and is also distributed in the tropical areas of southern China.

The wealth tree is a very popular potted plant, and most flower friends do not know that the rich tree can be sown. In fact, the sowing germination rate of the rich tree is still quite high. Compared with the cuttage potted plants bought, the rich trees sown by themselves are easier to maintain.

Planting method of rich tree

The breeding methods of rich trees should mainly pay attention to the following five aspects.

1. The temperature and humidity of the rich tree

Rich tree culture has higher requirements for temperature and humidity, if the temperature is too low or humidity is not enough, there may be fallen leaves, serious branches will be bald, not conducive to ornamental, but also may cause plant death.

The cultivation of rich trees should pay attention to keep the temperature above 15 ℃, and often spray water to the branches and leaves to increase humidity, while in late autumn and winter, we should pay attention to cold prevention and anti-freezing work. Indoor farming should be watered every 3-5 days in summer and 5-10 days in spring and autumn. It depends on the room temperature in winter. If the room temperature is about 12 ℃, water can be watered once a month. The most suitable growth temperature is 18-30 ℃.

2. The sunshine of the rich tree should be appropriate.

Rich tree culture should be placed in an indoor sunny place, should pay attention to the leaves facing the sun, can not make it shaded for a long time, otherwise it will distort the branches and leaves. It is best to spray water on the leaves of the rich tree every 3 to 5 days, which is not only conducive to photosynthesis, but also make the branches and leaves more beautiful.

3. Watering the rich trees should be moderate.

The rich tree has a strong adaptability to water, generally in outdoor flooding or no watering indoors for more than ten days, and there will be no waterlogging and drought, but watering is still an important link in the breeding of rich trees. If the amount of water is too little, the development of branches and leaves will stagnate; if the amount of water is too large, the roots may rot and die; if the amount of water is moderate, the branches and leaves will be hypertrophic.

The first principle of watering rich trees is that it is better to be wet than dry, to water more in summer and less in winter, and to water more in prosperous periods and less in newly planted plants. Under normal circumstances, it is OK to water once every 15 to 20 days.

Matters needing attention in planting rich trees

4. How to fertilize the rich tree

The demand for fertilizer of rich trees is greater than that of other flowers and trees, and the proportion of fertilizer 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 "burn" the leaves. It is worth noting that during the growth 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 deep-rooted and luxuriant.

5. How to change the pots of the rich tree

The newly introduced rich tree plants did not have to change pots in that year to prevent the tree from getting out of shape. The suitable season for changing pots is spring, or in July and August, when plants are in a semi-dormant state during the high temperature period. The rich tree has strict requirements on the basin soil, which should be slightly tidal and well drained, and the basin soil can use acidic sandy loam containing humus.

As a family cultivation, we should pay attention to the following four points according to their living habits of high temperature, humidity, frost and dryness:

1. Rich trees like high temperature, humidity and sunlight, and can not be shaded for a long time. Therefore, in the maintenance and management, it should be placed in a sunny place indoors, and when placed, the leaves must be directed toward the sun. Otherwise, because the leaves tend to light, the whole branches and leaves will be distorted. In addition, spray water to the leaves every 3 to 5 days, which is not only conducive to photosynthesis, but also make the branches and leaves more beautiful.

2. The rich trees are fertilizer-loving flowers and trees, and the demand for fertilizer is greater than that of other common flowers and trees. When changing the basin every year, the proportion of fertile soil can account for 1 / 3 or even more. Fertile soil comes from a wide range of sources, which can be collected from deciduous humus soil of broad-leaved trees and mixed with a little pastoral soil and mixed bean cake dregs. This fertile soil is highly effective and easy to obtain, but attention should be paid to full maturity so as not to "burn" the leaves.

3. During the growing period of rich trees (from May to September), mature liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer can be applied every 15 days to promote deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Usually keep the basin soil moist, dry in winter, avoid dampness; otherwise, the leaf tip is easy to cause scorch, or even the leaves fall off, trim and change the basin every 1 to 2 years, and change a slightly larger basin year by year, at the same time, add base fertilizer and replace new nutrient soil to make it thrive.

4. rich trees have high requirements for temperature and humidity. if the temperature is low or humidity is missing, the leaves will often fall, and when the branches are bald, it will not only hinder the ornamental, but also easily cause plant death. Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping the temperature above 15 ℃ and often spraying water to the branches and leaves to increase the necessary humidity. In late autumn and winter, we should pay attention to overwintering cold prevention, anti-freezing management and protection.
