What are the tips of senior florists in the breeding methods of Xingdou?

As we all know, cactus belongs to a kind of plant of cactus family. There is also a kind of plant called Xingdou. However, unlike the general cactus family, star is a thorn-free plant, it has white star-shaped cotton wool. Most of the friends who like it are because of its smaller form, but some friends don't quite understand it when they breed it, and there are some problems. Today, let's talk about how to raise star pockets.

The culture method of Xingdou:

Star pockets can be obtained by sowing seeds, or they can collect seeds by themselves, but what flower friends need to understand is that star pockets are cross-pollinated and need two unrelated stars to pollinate before they can bear seeds. Star pockets usually blossom when they grow to five centimeters in diameter.

Xingdou does not like the pure granular plant material with large particles, which can only ensure its survival and reduce the chance of rotting roots, but it will cause very few whisker roots and slow down or stagnate its growth. Some flower friends may have found that when changing pots, the main root of the star pocket is very stout, but the fine root is very few, or there are almost no fibrous roots. This is basically caused by the plant material is too thick.

Since last year, my (senior flower friend) plant material has added two media of small perlite and peat on the basis of the original larger particle plant materials, such as red jade, blue stone, light stone, etc., about 10% each. From this change of pots, we can see that the effect of root cultivation is very good.

To investigate the reason, I think that Xingdou likes water more, the gap of pure large grain plant material is too big, it dries too fast, the hairy fine root can not be attached, which affects the absorption of water and nutrients. The situation of repeated root, withered, recurrent root and withered death of capillary root caused by the addition of some small particle plant material and peat will greatly improve the growth and absorption environment of capillary root, so as to cultivate luxuriant root system.

It needs to be said here that although Xingdou likes water, it does not mean that it can accumulate water. when it is maintained in summer and when the light is strong, it should be properly shaded, otherwise it is easy to sunburn, and it is necessary to avoid splashing soil when watering.

The above is the relevant introduction of this article, I believe you have a simple understanding of this after reading it, if necessary, you can continue to pay attention to the No. 1 home network for more information.
