Second, the culture method of tiger thorn plum

The main results are as follows: 1. The reproduction method of Prunus przewalskii: it can be divided into two propagation methods: cuttage propagation and tissue culture.

The main results are as follows: 1) the tiger thorn plum is mainly propagated by the tiger thorn plum. It can be inserted throughout the growing period, but it is best to do it in 5murine-June, with a high survival rate. Select the mature branches of last year and cut them into 6murmur10cm segments, with the top branch as good as possible. White milk flows out of the cut, wash it with warm water to dry, and then insert it into the sand bed. Keep it slightly dry and take root about 30 days after insertion.

2) tissue culture of Chimonanthus przewalskii: the cuttage propagation method is generally adopted, but the reproduction coefficient per thorn is low and the speed is slow, so it is difficult to achieve large-scale, commercial and standardized production, so large-scale propagation is generally carried out by tissue culture. can achieve better results. Chimonanthus przewalskii is a very popular indoor ornamental plant with long flowering period, bright color, elegant shape and easy cultivation, so many people choose potted plants for decoration and beautification, and many people choose to plant in the courtyard, which also has a good effect.

2. Potted plants should not be watered too much when changing pots every spring. Summer and autumn growth needs sufficient water for a long time, fertilizing once a month. When the temperature is low in winter, the leaves fall off and enter the dormant period, the basin soil should be kept dry. 3Mel-December florescence, the flowers can bloom continuously when the soil moisture is kept moderate, and can continue to blossom if the room temperature is above 15 ℃ in winter. When the growth of the plant is too crowded and dense, the whole plant can be pruned before new leaves germinate in spring.

3. Prunus angustifolia is special in nature and grows slowly, only about 10 centimeters a year, but it has a long life, and potted plants can live for more than 30 years. The flowering period is long, if the light and temperature are suitable, it can open all the year round. The branches of Prunus mume are not easy to branch, grow very long, blossom less, and their posture is messy, affecting ornamental, so they must be pruned and pointed in time every year to make them send out more new branches and blossom more. Generally, two new branches can be produced after picking off the tip. Prunus przewalskii has developed root system and exuberant growth, which can be used as the rootstock of grafting fairy finger and crab claw orchid, but it belongs to shallow root system, which walks far away, but there is not much root hair.

4. Prunus mandshurica likes warmth and is not resistant to cold. It grows best at about 22 ℃ in daytime and 15 ℃ at night. It keeps 15 ℃ to 20 ℃ in greenhouse and blossoms all the year round. If it falls to 10 ℃, the fallen leaves turn into semi-dormant state, reveal new leaves in the next spring and continue to blossom. Tiger thorn plum Xiguang, the more abundant sunshine before the flower, the more bright flowers, long-lasting, lack of light, then the color is dim, long-term shade, then do not blossom. Attention should also be paid to maintaining good ventilation.

Tiger thorn plum is resistant to drought, and watering in spring and autumn should be dry and wet. Can be watered once a day in summer, waterproof in rainy season, not dry and watered in winter, the basin should not be moist for a long time; the flowering period should also be controlled, the water is easy to cause falling flowers and rotting roots.
