What is the breeding method and breeding alias of Zhu Jiao?

This kind of plant Zhu Jiao is quite magical. The more the leaves inside, the redder the leaves are, and the more beautiful they are. If there is a large piece of Zhu Jiao, it will be amazing. It will be half red directly. What is the breeding method of Zhu Jiao? How do you reproduce? What's the alias:

The culture method of Zhu Jiao:

Like the warm and moist environment, but also more shady (otherwise as an indoor green plant), potted plants can not be exposed to the sun, the biggest disadvantage of this plant is not cold-resistant, the maintenance environment is too dark will also be yellow leaves.

Its root system is larger and deeper, and potted plants should use a slightly deep and wide flowerpot, and the soil can be mixed with peat soil and fine sand. On slightly moist soil, this kind of soil can also be used for cutting, and the mixing ratio is about 7:3!

Huayou's potted plantain was planted at a height of 20 centimeters. Once a month in spring, summer and autumn, the main stem grew higher and taller, and the basal leaves gradually withered and yellowed.

You can cut short a section of cuttings to let Zhu plantain grow more lateral branches, and the crown will be more beautiful.

Summer muggy, leaves can often spray water, keep stems and leaves fresh and luxuriant, pay attention to indoor ventilation, reduce the harm of diseases and insect pests. The basin is usually changed every 2 ~ 3 years.

1. Temperature

Zhu Jiao prefers a warm environment. If it is too cold, it is easy to frostbite. Potted plants cannot be exposed to the sun, and the ground is planted casually. The suitable temperature for growth is 18-30 degrees. It is safe to survive the winter above 5 degrees in winter. Of course, there are individual cold-resistant varieties, some of which can be adapted to about 0 degrees!

2. Moisture and humidity

It likes the warm and moist environment, indoor maintenance of yellow leaves, normal watering, generally caused by dry air, so to spray more water, basin soil does not accumulate water on the line, spray to the leaf surface or around is OK!

3. Light maintenance

Zhu Jiao likes plenty of light, is more shady, and grows better and faster. Potted plants should be properly shaded in summer, especially when exposed to the sun at noon, and the leaves are zoomed!

4. Selection of basin soil

Of course, the basin soil should be fertile, loose and well drained. Sandy soil or humus soil can be used as a mixture of saprophytic soil, garden soil and fine sand.

The breeding method of Zhu Jiao:

Zhu banana is very suitable for cutting plants, generally carried out in summer and autumn, cut a section of about 10 cm rhizome, remove the leaves at the bottom of the rhizome, cut a little bit to dry, and then cut in the slightly moist sandy soil.

The suitable cutting temperature is about 25 degrees, and water is often sprayed to keep the basin soil moist. Generally, it can take root after 3 weeks.

In fact, Zhu Jiao slightly likes slightly acidic soil, the northern saline-alkali soil is the most unsuitable, if the yellow leaves are not water, or exposure, it may be the soil saline-alkali!

When the weather is dry, you can spray water on the leaves to moisturize. In winter, it should be placed in a place with sufficient indoor light, less watering, dry rather than wet. In a poorly ventilated environment, Zhu banana is easy to grow shell insects, so attention should be paid to prevention and control.

Striping propagation:

High-altitude strips are commonly used from May to June, and the strong main stem is selected, 20 cm from the top, peeled in a ring shape, 1 cm wide, covered with moist moss and bandaged with plastic film, kept at room temperature for more than 20 ℃, rooting after about 40 days, and potted plants cut off 60 days later.

To sow and reproduce:

The seeds of Zhu banana matured in September, and the seeds were larger. They were often sown in shallow pots. The optimum temperature for germination was 24-27 ℃. They germinated 2 weeks after sowing, and the seedlings were 4-5 cm high and transplanted in 4-cm pots.

Note:

The branches after cutting can be picked up with plastic film, do not touch the branches, can keep moisture and heat preservation, the temperature is about 30 degrees. It can take root in 2-3 weeks.

You can also take the method of burying dry cuttings, cut 5 cm to 10 cm of mature branches, cut off the leaves, and bury them horizontally in the pure river sand.

Pot maintenance can be carried out in a wide-mouth transparent bottle from May to June, and it can take root in about 3 weeks.

The nickname of Zhu Jiao:

Called millennium wood, red bamboo, Zhu bamboo, red iron tree and so on, green millennium wood and it is actually the same kind of plant, only variety difference, are tequila family small shrubs, more roots, beautiful leaves, landscape greening is very common!

Can blossom, open cultivation flowering is easy, flowers are a string of purple, quite ornamental, flowering is November to March, only in winter can see!

This is the end of the introduction of Zhu Jiao's breeding method, breeding method and its nickname. Is there a feeling of falling in love with this plant?

Culture method of Zhu Jiao / millennium wood

Zhu Jiao

Alias: iron tree, millennium tree.

Genus: tequila, plantain.

Features: evergreen shrubs. The plant can reach about 2.8 meters tall, the stem is solitary, usually unbranched or less branched. Leaves leathery, broad-band, clustered at top of stem, green or purplish red.

Origin: China, India and tropical islands in the Pacific.

Habits: sexual preference for warm, humid and semi-overcast environment, not cold-resistant, should be loose, fertile, well-drained slightly acidic soil, avoid alkaline soil, not resistant to drought.

Propagation: Zhu banana is mainly propagated by cutting and tillering. The cuttings were carried out after the temperature rose steadily in late spring and early summer, using top branches, about 9 cm long, cut off the lower leaves, inserted into the wet sand bed, kept moist and at a temperature of 24-29 degrees Celsius, and rooting in about 30 days. It can also be inserted with water in a wide □ bottle from June to July and can take root in 3 weeks. The tillering is more than in summer. The seedlings sprouting near the stem base are dug up with roots and propagated separately.

Cultivation: potted soil can be mixed with peat soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand. Zhu Jiao is more shady and can be cultivated indoors in half-light throughout the year, and it can also be maintained outdoors in spring and autumn for a period of time. It needs shade at noon on sunny days and in summer. The growing season should be well watered, and in the dry season and hot summer, in addition to watering every day, water should also be sprayed on the leaves twice, so that the leaves can appear moist and beautiful. Apply thin fertilizer and water or compound flower fertilizer every half a month during the peak growing season. In winter, move the flowerpot to an indoor place with sufficient light, reduce watering and stop fertilization, place a sunny place for maintenance, and the room temperature is not less than 11 degrees Celsius to pass the winter safely.

Value: Zhu banana is tall and straight and elegant, the leaves are big and flexible, the color is simple, very gorgeous and beautiful, and it is a good potted foliage flower. It is suitable for decorating halls, rooms, office buildings, conference rooms and other places. Red plants should be placed in front of shops in order to make a profit.
